Experimental investigation of human gait analysis parameters
Hrušková, Natália ; Vilímek, Miloslav (advisor) ; Goldmann, Tomáš (referee)
Title: Experimental investigation of human gait analysis parameters Objective: The main objective of diploma thesis was an experiment, that examined kinematic and dimensional parameters of human gait which was captured by several cameras and acquired data was recorded in 2D and 3D measurement. Secondary objective was to compare and statistically evaluate data acquired from measurement. The objective of analysis was to discover and describe possible regularities, patterns of human gait and other connections in investigated subjects. Methods: Comparative method was used in the thesis. The purpose of the experiment was to compare parameters measured during attempts of every subject that were conducted under different conditions (different velocity, dressed, undressed, in the environment of 2D and 3D recording) and also to compare different subjects with each other. Results: In the experiment we observed that it is possible to prove the relation between the length of a step and the velocity of gait and also the relation between the change in the body height and the velocity of human gait by three dimensional recording of gait and its analysis. This contention was confirmed in the comparison dressed and undressed subjects. The result of the experiment was, that with increasing velocity of gait is...

Dudová, Helena ; Vilímek, Miloslav (advisor) ; Goldmann, Tomáš (referee)
Title: Evaluation of the effect of exercise according to the Propriofoot concept and the methodology of Sensorimotor Training by Janda and Vávrová on foot pressure distribution Objectives: In this thesis the following three goals were set: First, to find out if and how does the percentual foot pressure distribution between the left and right foot in standing change after a four-week long exercise according to either the methodology of Sensorimotor training by Janda and Vávrová or the Propriofoot concept. Second, if and how will the segmental foot load change. Third, if the prospective changes of foot load will agree or differ between the two groups. Methods: A pilot study for quantitative research using experimental scientific method was conducted, with two groups consisting of ten members each, aged thirty to fifty and diagnosed with flat foot. At the beginning, all probands underwent diagnostic measurement using the "Plantograf V10" device. Then they attended a four-week long individual therapy with an exercise plan created according to one of the two methods in consideration. At the end the probands were again measured by the same device. Entrance and control measurements obtained for each participant and both groups were evaluated, compared and statistically analyzed. Results: Analysis of the...

Strejcová, Hana ; Vilímek, Miloslav (advisor) ; Goldmann, Tomáš (referee)
Title: EMGs of Back Muscles in Relation with Different Settings of the Straps of Backpacks Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the electrical activity of chosen muscles during the gait with student backpack and during the different types of placing the backpack on the back in the vertical plane. The second aim is to find what it the best type of the backpack placement on the back based on the electrical activity. Methods: This thesis is an analytical-experimental research. In the theoretical part, there is a review of available sources relating to existing studies about load carriage, especially backpack carrying. It is preferentially about school type of backpaks, the recommended load limit, the way of placing a backpack on the back and the way of placing a load in the backpack. In the experimental part, there are methods used during experiment. The surface electromyografy was chosen as a experimental method. M. trapezius pars descendens, m. erector spinae and m. rectus abdomis were chosen for recording the EMG signal. The data were recorded during the gait with the backpack of 10% of proband's weight and during 3 different types of backpack placement. The upper type of placement was placed with the centre of the backpack in the level of seventh thoracic vertebra (T7), the middle type...

The evaluating of the change of walking quality in dancers in comparison with the normal population
Korošová, Kateřina ; Vilímek, Miloslav (advisor) ; Goldmann, Tomáš (referee)
Thesis name: The evaluating of the change of walking quality in dancers in comparison with the normal population Thesis goal: This thesis deals with effect of long-term ballet dance on kinematic parameters of gait. The theoretical part includes basic characteristics of gait cycle and kinesiological and biomechanical findings of ballet movement and its compensatory mechanisms in musculoskeletal system. There is analyzed angular parameters of gait cycle in ballet dancers in performance of walking in the experimental part. The results will show if the many-years intensive training of dance affects the alignment of particular joints of the body during human walk. Method: Kinematic analysis by Qualisys system allowing automatic processing of record obtained with infrared cameras. Qualisys uses its own high-frequency cameras for precise movement tracking of the measured object using active or passive markers. Gathered data from device were processed and statictically evaluated with Microsoft Office Excel. Keywords: gait, bipedal locomotion, dance, gait analysis, gait of dancers, ballet, kinematics analysis

Selected parameters of gait and foot in consideration of the individual's body height
Strnadová, Hana ; Vilímek, Miloslav (advisor) ; Goldmann, Tomáš (referee)
Title: Selected parameters of gait and foot in consideration of the individual's body height Objectives: This thesis deals with a dependence of the selected gait and foot characteristics on a person's body height. These parameters are compared between a group of men and a group of women. In addition, a validity of selected formulas used for a determination of body height is evaluated. Methods: Mutual relation among the gait and foot characteristics and the individual's body height is observed. The thesis is a descriptive - association research, the comparative method is chosen in the practical part of the thesis. For an objectification of the research, the Plantograph and the 3D kinematic gait analysis performed by Qualysis system was used. Results: It was found out that the selected formulas used for a determination of body height are valid. The best results are brought by the formulas which count with a length of a bare foot, the length of a step and a double-step. On the contrary, the worse results are achieved by using the formulas which count with the dimension of shoe print. A tight dependence of the foot length and the length of the step / double-step on the body height was proven. A minimum dependence of the foot width on the body height was proven. Nevertheless the foot width is verifiably...

Dependance of the gait parameters on a stature of an adult
Maštalková, Petra ; Vilímek, Miloslav (advisor) ; Goldmann, Tomáš (referee)
Title: Dependance of the gait parameters on a stature of an adult Objectives: The main aim of this study is to find out how the gait parameters depends on a stature of an adult. Another aim of this study is to compare these parameters between group of men and group of women. Methods: This thesis is type of descriptive - association research. In the practical part was used method of comparison for locomotion of people. As an objectification method was chosen 3D kinematic analysis of gait, which was performed using the Qualisys. Results: It was found that the dependence on a stature subject to the step length, pelvic rotation, flexion of a front knee, frequency and walking speed. Linear dependence on a stature is not subject to the the angle between femurs and flexion of a back knee. It was also found that the values of parameters which have the highest rate of variability reach a relatively low angular values. These parameters include the angle of rotation of a pelvis and the angle of flexion of a front knee. Opposite qualities shows the angle between femurs, which reaches the highest value, but clearly has the lowest rate of variability. Keywords: gait, footstep lenght, double support, stature

Experimental motion analysis of human locomotion
Málková, Monika ; Vilímek, Miloslav (advisor) ; Goldmann, Tomáš (referee)
Title: Experimental motion analysis of human locomotion Objectives: The aim of this work is verification of the hypothesis that it is possible to identify humans using measurement of parameters of their gait taken from surveillance camera's records. Methods: In our thesis we used the method of comparison. The aim of the experiment is comparison of parameters measured in different trials of each subject under different conditions (different walking speeds, with or without clothes on, and using either 2D or 3D record), as well as comparison across different subjects. Results: We found that using a 3D record of human gait, it is possible to improve our capability of identifying them. We also found that it is necessary to compare either dressed subjects strictly among themselves or stripped subjects strictly among themselves, because otherwise the comparison is not meaningful. Furthermore, we found that using our geometrical methods, it is possible to deduce gait parameters from a 2D camera record when it comes to height of the subject, but not so for length of their step. Keywords: gait, identification, kinematic analysis, forensic biomechanics

Pedestrians Tracking in a Video Record from a Stationary Camera
Trnkal, Milan ; Orság, Filip (referee) ; Goldmann, Tomáš (advisor)
This bachelor thesis focuses on pedestrians tracking from camera. In this work, I have introduced several methods of computer vision suitable for detection and classification of people. I proposed an algorithm for detecting and tracking pedestrians based on detection of movement. The application uses a Histogram of Oriented Gradients and SVM classifier together with color histograms for identification of pedestrians. Pedestrian's trajectories are then rendered to the output. Last part of the thesis deals with testing and evaluation of the results of the algorithm.
