An open source implementation of the Conventional Gait Model in Python

Leboeuf, FY; Sangeux, M; Baker, RJ

Abstract

The Conventional Gait Model CGM has been a standard in
clinical gait analysis since the 1990s. Well-known by its commercialisation
as Plug-in Gait (PiG, Vicon, Oxford, UK), it is simple and widely
understood facilitating discussion between biomechanists and clinicians.
Most commercial manufacturers now provide some version of
the model. Despite its common use there has been little development of
the model since the 1990s perhaps because open source versions have
not been available. None of these replicates fully the range of options
that are used by different users. The first aim of this paper is thus to
present an open source version of the CGM which fully replicates those
options.
