Workflow overview
Kineologist|GAIT
Walking analysis from motion files to event-locked evidence.
GAIT turns walking motion capture files into initial-contact and toe-off events, fixed-step windows, same-foot baseline comparison, contact-state telemetry, 3D review, reports, plots and threshold-controlled outputs.
GAIT workflow
GAIT is easy to run.
Load baseline and subject files, choose pipeline options, run the pipeline, then review the outputs. GAIT keeps the user workflow simple while the backend handles IC/TO event detection, fixed-step crop windows, same-foot baseline logic and walking-specific telemetry.
Load baseline files
Add reference walking files so GAIT can build a comparable walking baseline.
Load subject file
Add the walking file that will be reviewed against the generated reference movement.
Choose options
Select the gait workflow, baseline behaviour, report scope and analysis settings, then run the pipeline.
Detect IC/TO
GAIT detects initial contact and toe-off events to create walking-cycle timing truth.
Create fixed steps
Walking clips are cropped into fixed-step windows using same-foot logic where required.
Pipeline steps
The nine-stage automated GAIT pipeline.
GAIT separates operator work from walking-event evidence generation. The software detects the cycle structure, builds comparable windows, extracts walking telemetry and produces review artifacts.
01
Load baseline files
Add reference walking files so GAIT can build a comparable walking baseline.
02
Load subject file
Add the walking file that will be reviewed against the generated reference movement.
03
Choose options
Select the gait workflow, baseline behaviour, report scope and analysis settings, then run the pipeline.
04
Detect IC/TO
GAIT detects initial contact and toe-off events to create walking-cycle timing truth.
05
Create fixed steps
Walking clips are cropped into fixed-step windows using same-foot logic where required.
06
Build baseline
Reference walking cycles are normalised and averaged into a repeatable comparison authority.
07
Analyse subject
The subject file is processed with the same event and crop logic used by the baseline.
08
Compare evidence
Cycle timing, contact state, cadence, sway, asymmetry and magnitude differences are reviewed.
09
Generate outputs
GAIT writes telemetry, reports, plots, thresholds and CSV evidence for review.
Average walking baseline
Create a same-foot walking baseline for repeatable comparison.
GAIT baseline creation is built around walking events rather than pitching phases. Baseline files are event-marked, cropped into fixed-step windows, normalised and averaged so the subject file can be reviewed against a comparable walking reference.
Same-foot anchor
Baseline and subject windows can be anchored around comparable contact events.
Average walking reference
Reference walking files become a repeatable comparison authority.
Fixed-step crop
GAIT uses walking-event windows instead of arbitrary frame ranges.
Comparable outputs
Markers, telemetry and reports stay tied to the same generated baseline logic.
Event review
Initial contact, toe-off and fixed-step windows define the review structure.
The walking cycle is segmented by event markers. IC and TO events create the timing structure for contact state, contact pulse, fixed-step crop and baseline-relative comparison.
Initial contact
Contact events anchor the start of the walking cycle.
Toe-off
Toe-off events structure release and swing timing.
Contact channels
Contact pulse and contact state remain inspectable as telemetry.
Same-foot windows
Baseline and subject compare from matching step logic.
GAIT telemetry
Walking telemetry and cycle evidence tell the movement story.
GAIT creates walking-specific telemetry so analysts can inspect rhythm, cadence, symmetry, contact behaviour, foot clearance, trunk/head sway and upper-body compensation across the walking cycle.
Contact state
Shows when each foot is considered loaded/contacting during the walking cycle.
Contact pulse
Makes discrete IC/TO event behaviour visible as inspectable telemetry.
Foot clearance
Supports review of swing phase and clearance through each step.
Cadence
Summarises rhythm and timing across repeatable walking cycles.
Asymmetry
Highlights left/right and subject-versus-baseline differences.
Trunk and head sway
Shows balance, compensation and upper-body movement behaviour.
Arm cycles
Keeps upper-limb rhythm available during walking review.
IC and cycle timing
Anchors the review to walking events rather than arbitrary frame ranges.
Walking review
Review walking motion against events, curves and baseline deltas.
The visual review combines 3D motion with event-aware telemetry. A reviewer can inspect how the subject differs from the baseline in timing, magnitude, clearance, sway and rhythm.
Auto baseline generation
Baseline walking files can be event-cropped, normalised and averaged into a walking reference.
Auto phase marker placement
GAIT places walking event markers so review happens around IC/TO and cycle evidence.
Single subject analysis
A walking file can be analysed independently before baseline comparison is introduced.
Subject vs baseline analysis
The subject can be reviewed against the walking baseline for timing, magnitude and rhythm differences.
Coaching layer deltas
Delta outputs help convert baseline comparison into readable review evidence.
Muscle activity visualizer
Motion-derived proxy overlays help inspect walking contribution patterns without claiming EMG.
Motion-derived proxy layer
Cycle-relative muscle proxy sequencing supports walking review.
GAIT uses motion-derived proxy signals to help review major muscle-group sequencing, cycle-relative contribution and baseline differences through the walking cycle. This gives reviewers another way to inspect movement contribution without claiming EMG or direct measured activation.
Cycle-relative proxy
Proxy signals are reviewed around gait cycles rather than arbitrary frames.
Sequencing context
Contribution patterns can be inspected across the walking cycle.
Baseline differences
Proxy contribution can be compared against the selected walking reference.
Clear boundary
This is not EMG or direct measured activation.
Coach report
The GAIT Coach Report turns walking evidence into readable review language.
The Coach Report summarises walking-specific findings, IC/TO behaviour, cadence, asymmetry, clearance, sway and baseline-relative differences in language that can be discussed without reading raw telemetry files.
Plain-language review
The report translates walking evidence into readable observations.
Event-aware context
IC/TO events and fixed-step windows shape the findings.
Baseline-relative
Differences can be framed against the selected walking reference.
Beta review surface
Useful for facilities and validation partners testing the workflow.
Muscle report
The GAIT Muscle Report tables cycle-relative proxy contribution.
The Muscle Report supports deeper review of motion-derived proxy sequencing through the walking cycle. It helps reviewers inspect cycle-relative contribution patterns and compare how proxy groups differ from the reference movement. It is not EMG and does not claim direct measured activation.
Cycle-relative proxy
Proxy contribution is reviewed around gait cycles, not arbitrary frames.
Sequencing table
Tables support review of relative order and contribution.
Comparison context
Baseline-relative differences can be inspected across the walking cycle.
Motion-derived
The report does not claim EMG or direct measured activation.
Master report
The GAIT Master Report preserves deeper technical context.
The Master Report is the longer-form review surface for analysts, educators and validation partners who need more context around events, telemetry, baseline comparison, report findings and exported evidence.
Detailed evidence
Keeps more generated context available for review.
Long-form output
Explains the run with deeper language than the Coach Report.
Telemetry context
Contact, clearance, cadence, sway and cycle channels remain inspectable.
Validation support
Designed for facilities and education partners testing the workflow.
Plots
Generated walking plots support technical inspection.
GAIT plot outputs make walking channels available outside the main interface for technical inspection, documentation and review.
Walking channels
Plots expose contact, cadence, sway, clearance and rhythm channels outside the GUI.
IC/TO timing
Events remain visible as timing anchors for technical inspection.
Comparison context
Baseline-relative differences can be reviewed alongside raw curves.
Exportable evidence
Plot outputs support documentation, review packs and validation conversations.
Thresholds
Tunable event and overlay thresholds support expert workflows.
Threshold controls allow reviewers to adapt event markers, overlays and rule sensitivity for a specific movement context, population or facility preference.
Event tuning
Thresholds support review of marker and contact behaviour for a given gait context.
Rule bands
Findings can be tuned for validation work, facility preference or protocol design.
Overlay control
Reviewers can adjust what appears in the timeline and plots.
Deployment ready
The same control pattern can be shaped for custom movement products.
Viewport review
Flexible viewport controls keep side-by-side walking inspection readable.
Perspective/front/side views, camera-local pan, orbit/centered modes and compare-offset controls help reviewers inspect walking motion without fighting the camera.
Orbit / centered
Switch camera behaviour to match the review task.
Perspective / front / side
Use standard viewpoints for gait inspection.
Camera-local pan
Move around the walking subject without losing context.
Compare offset
Separate subject and baseline for side-by-side inspection.
Muscle & labelling options
Reviewers can switch muscle overlays and labels while inspecting walking motion beside event and curve evidence.
Next step
Review walking data through events, cycles and evidence.
