This article provides an overview of methods used for recognizing and analyzing human gait, focusing on three approaches: image processing, floor sensors, and body-mounted sensors. The authors highlight the advancements in new technologies that have led to the development of devices and techniques for objective evaluation of gait parameters, making measurements more efficient and reliable. The paper discusses key gait parameters and semi-subjective methods, reviews objective techniques using various sensors, and compares the characteristics of different methods. The review includes a discussion of the latest research findings and future research areas. The article emphasizes the importance of gait analysis in medical fields, particularly in diagnosing and monitoring diseases such as neurological disorders, systemic diseases, and age-related conditions. It also addresses the limitations of semi-subjective methods and the advantages and disadvantages of non-wearable (NWS) and wearable (WS) systems. The study found that 40% of the reviewed articles from 2012-2013 were related to NWS systems, 37.5% to inertial sensor-based systems, and 22.5% to other WS systems. The paper concludes by discussing the potential of portable systems based on body sensors for gait analysis and the need for further research in this field.This article provides an overview of methods used for recognizing and analyzing human gait, focusing on three approaches: image processing, floor sensors, and body-mounted sensors.
