Abstract
The invention relates to a method of analysis for human locomotion irregularities. In such method, acceleration measurements obtained during one or more motions controlled at a stabilized gait of a human being are used, through accelerometers measuring on a time base accelerations according to at least one direction, and any locomotion irregularities are analyzed from reference measurements.Such measured accelerations are submitted to at least one wavelet transformation and the resulting wavelet transform is used to detect and/or analyze the irregularities.
