The dynamics of human gaitPerc, Matjaž (Avtor) dynamic systemschaotic systemsnonlinear dynamicshuman gaithuman locomotionWe analyse the dynamics of human gait with simple nonlinear time series analysis methods that are appropriate for undergraduate courses. We show that short continuous recordings of the human locomotory apparatus possess properties typical of deterministic chaotic systems. To facilitate interest and enable the reproduction of presented results, as well as to promote applications of nonlinear time series analysis to other experimental systems, we provide user-friendly programs for each implemented method. Thus, we provide new insights into the dynamics of human locomotion, and make an effort to ease the inclusion of nonlinear time series analysis methods into the curriculum at an early stage of the educational process.20052012-06-01 09:54:08Članek v reviji27160UDK: 534.83:531.3COBISS_ID: 14504712ISSN pri članku: 0143-0807NUK URN: URN:SI:UM:DK:EUZA18ULsl
