Measurement of human gait and analysis of gait kinematics for calculation of the COM of the body segments. (a) Measurement of the positions of the heel, ankle, knee, hip, and shoulder joints of the left and right sides by a motion capture system (OPTOTRAK). (b) The COM of the feet, shanks, thighs, and head-arms-trunk segments were estimated by a 7-link kinematics model.
