The analysis of the march constitutes one of the fundamental topics of the human movement. This article discusses and suggests elementary classical procedures for basic gait analysis using dynamic fingerprints, which are very useful in academic scenarios with low affordability to the cutting edge technology that characterizes modern laboratories. First, a description of human walking is presented as a cyclic movement characterizing the different moments of its phases, later the different kinematic quantities involved in the traces produced by the march are analyzed and physical elements related to the assimilation and transmission of loads in the part Distal portion of the lower limb. Finally, a format is suggested for the registration and operationalization of the magnitudes evaluated. The objective of this article is to elucidate and claim the utility of classical and perceptible procedures, as well as to encourage students and practitioners in the biomedical areas of Physical Edu...

This article suggests and discusses elementary classical procedures for the analysis of static fingerprints, very useful in academic scenarios with low affordability to the state of the art technology that characterizes modern laboratories. First, a description of the HERZCO criterion (Hernandez Corvo, 1991) is presented with a technical adjustment that considers the continuity of the intervals for the evaluation of the static traces and geometric aspects for the interpretation of the triangular support according to the type of footprint. To complement the typological determination of the foot, the digital and metatarsal formulas are described and a simple format is suggested for the recording and operationalization of the magnitudes evaluated. The objective of this article is to explain the importance of physical-mathematical tools for the typological analysis of the foot based on classic methodologies, characterized by their sensitivity and low cost, and to promote their use by st...
