FRACTAL ANALYSIS OF STRIDE INTERVAL IN HUMAN GAIT

R. Geetha

Abstract :

 The application of chaos theory and non–linear dynamics to problems in biological time series has resulted in  rapid advancements in medicine. Recent research has demonstrated that many biological structures and physiologic  fluctuations exhibit complex fractal patterns. Fractal dimension has been proved useful in quantifying the complexity of dynamic biomedical signals like heart rate variability, electromyography, electrocardiograph and electroencephalograph .This paper provides a statistical  perspective to the fractal dynamics of typical stride–interval time series. Higuchi’s(1988) algorithm for the computation of fractal dimension  and repeated measures of the ANOVA are used in the analysis.
