Abstract. Simple human gait can be difficult, unfeasible and not always practical in Virtual Reality, because of spatial and technological limitations. For 3D virtual environment travelling, different walking platforms have been developed in the last few years, but navigation using most of them is far from bringing naturalness to the user's movements. Users sometimes are unsecure and they are trying to adapt and to correct any irregularities they feel. Our research is focused on specific walking patterns that characterize the intention of walking: starting walking with a certain speed, maintaining a desired speed, accelerated walking, decelerated walking, stopping. In laboratory conditions, using a motion capturing system, these behaviors were reproduced, measured and analyzed.

“…Following are its units. The new book is entitled: "Measurement of Human Locomotion" [3]. It provides comprehensive description of instrument systems for measurement of kinematics of human movement, kinetic quantities experienced by the human body in contact with the ground, and myoelectric changes associated with locomotor activity.…”

“…Fields of application encompass both healthy and pathological locomotion encountered in rehabilitation medicine, orthopedics, kinesiology, sports science and other related fields. A comprehensive text has been assembled and published, therefore, aimed at explaining, to the interdisciplinary audience, human locomotion measurement methodology and engineering solutions [3]. It follows, in a way, in line of biomechanics [4] and biomedical electronics [5] textbooks by the Zagreb biomedical engineering group.…”

Abstract-Applying technical devices of varying degree of complexity and sophistication with the purpose of diagnostics and treatment has been a hallmark of modern western medicine. Todays' medical praxis, for instance, relays heavily on CT, MRI, ultrasound, and other complex devices. One example, ever more present during the last decade, is the instrumentation for biomechanical (kinematic, kinetic and EMG) motion measurements and analysis. The paper describes some contributions in this realm at the University of Zagreb including the publishing of a comprehensive textbook on the subject and also the introducement of teaching curricula to implement the apropriate knowledge. Problems are discussed of educating professionals and disseminating knowledge of this kind to the interdisciplinary audience including biomedical engineers, medical doctors, kinesiologists, physical therapists, etc.
