Cadence |
Steps per minute |
steps/min |
Base of support |
Step width = perpendicular distance between two points on both feet measured during two consecutive steps |
m |
Step length |
Distance between ground contact of one foot and the next subsequent ground contact of the opposite foot in the direction of progression |
m |
Stride length |
Distance between ground contact of one foot and the next subsequent ground contact of the same foot in the direction of progression |
m |
Step time |
Time between ground contact of one foot and the next subsequent ground contact of the opposite foot |
s |
Single-stance time |
Time during gait cycle while one foot is on the ground |
s |
Double-stance time |
Time during gait cycle while two feet are on the ground |
s |
Total stance time |
Time that passes during single and double support of the stance phase of one extremity during a gait cycle |
s |
eGVI |
enhanced gait variability index (includes 5 spatiotemporal gait parameters: step time, step length, step velocity, total stance time, single-stance time) |
