Overview

GaitViz is an interactive simulator designed to provide a visual representation of the human gait cycle. It combines biomechanics, animation, and educational content to help users understand the complexities of human movement. This tool is ideal for students, researchers, and professionals in the biomedical and engineering fields.

How to Use

1. Use the Animation Controls to play, pause, rewind, or step through the gait cycle.
2. Select a Gait Pattern to explore different walking styles.
3. Adjust parameters like Stride Length, Cadence, and Muscle Strength using the sliders.
4. Enable Educational Mode to view detailed descriptions of each gait phase.
5. Click Reset All Parameters to restore default settings.

Future Directions

Future updates to GaitViz aim to include:

• Integration with real-time motion capture data for personalized simulations.
• Expanded gait patterns, including pathological and rehabilitative gait cycles.
• Advanced analytics for deeper insights into biomechanical metrics.
• Support for collaborative learning and remote demonstrations.

We are committed to advancing biomedical education and research through innovative tools like GaitViz.
