Gait analysis: Approaches and applications

Gait analysis is systematic quantification and evaluation of human walking. It has applications in the field of clinical sciences, video surveillance, rehabilitation therapies, etc. Various state-of-the-science, as well as traditional approaches, have been used for evaluating the gait cycle. This narrative review provides a brief understanding of all such approaches and methods used by scientists and clinicians in India. State-of-the-science approaches include marker based systems, wearable or non-wearable, sensors system, support vector machine, etc. Whereas traditional approaches include observational analysis, videography, etc. 3D gait analysis provides reliable data, however, is currently in limited use due to high instrumentation and maintenance costs involved. Indian scientific community can benefit for traditional approaches which are low-cost, reliable, and can be easy to implement in all sort of set-ups with relative ease.

Case Study

The structural design of the multistorey building

The rapid growth in the rate of construction of multi-storey blocks has been an important feature of the building industry over the past fifteen years. Much of this construction has occurred in areas underlain by the cyclothemic rocks of the Coal Measures. The anisotropic properties of this sequence lead to rapid horizontal and vertical variations in foundation conditions, which must be assessed in selecting the type and depth of foundation and the allowable bearing pressure. Special problems occur in areas which have been undermined by shallow mineral workings. Such sites require special investigations, careful evaluation of the site conditions and the design of appropriate foundations. The desirable approach in many instances is to plan developments on a large scale so that the greatest economic advantage may be taken of the best site conditions. In order to compete in the ever-growing competent market, it is very important for a structural engineer to save time. as a sequel to this, an attempt is made to analyze and design a Multistoried building by using a software package stand pro. For analyzing a multi-storied building one has to consider all the possible loadings and see that the structure is safe against all possible loading conditions. There are several methods for analysis of different frames like Kani's method, cantilever method, portal method, Matrix method.

Feasibility study of on-street parking for suitable solution on existing parking issues

The current study is a fieldwork which involves parking study along with parking characteristics for better efficiency of road traffic. For the purpose of the survey, the methodology was developed, which in short terms, is as follows: for each parking place by pre-defined parking area can be determined the nature, frequency, and duration of use. During the survey, one or more counters for several times, consistent and walk a predetermined route on foot. Pimpri Chinchwad is developing municipal corporation. For the purpose of future expansion of the city and betterment of the township the counter recognize site of the parking place on a map and record the vehicular count over the period of the time. If necessary, you can distinguish the category of vehicle parking (free, paid per hour, service subscription). The methodology is appropriate to collect the category of use of the parking place, use of parking spaces on the street, residence time, total number of vehicles in one area during the measurement, localization of parking capacity and relevance of the parking category. The parking provided to the roads in Pimpri Chinchwad area determined whether it is Parallel, Perpendicular, or angle parking (i.e. 30°, 45°, 60°). The cost analysis for the area which is available for the parking is determined and accordingly, the cost is determined for Two Wheeler, Car, Auto, Truck, NMV, etc.

Dynamic path optimization of traffic signal system for ambulance dispatch in emergency medical response using analytical hierarchy process

With the increase in vehicles on a day-to-day basis, the congestion on roads has exaggerated linearly. This congestion results in what is known as traffic. With traffic comes accidents, resulting in emergency situations. It is abundantly a necessity for clearance of vehicles. Each second matters once it involves saving a human’s life. With more traffic and not giving way to emergency vehicles, the life is at stake. Being citizen-oriented act of assistance, Medical Emergency Response explores many issues acting right way within the essential amount of your time. Foremost reason behind this disadvantage supported the segregated data foundations as well as conjointly diverse characteristics of info concerned for making proper decisions. Therefore, to provision fast as well as correct deciding technique to see the simplest machine and hospitals among them on the market alternatives is important. In the planned system, both the ambulance and the traffic signal station are connected using cloud network. Each and every signal at the junctions collect and analyze the traffic details using AHP consumes information sourced from the sources, and a dynamically use the shortest path formula to enable quick as well as an accurate decision for effective action in the medical crisis.

Patient’s perception towards the private hospitals in Ramanathapuram Taluk

This paper basically deals with the customer perception towards the private hospitals in Ramanathapuram town. The study was conducted to patients who are visiting the private hospitals in Ramanathapuram in which different hospitals are selected for the study. The survey was done using a structured questionnaire for a sample size of 200 outpatients, out of which 105 are male and 95 are female patients. The researchers are mainly focused on customer’s perception about private hospitals and how patients accepted and how to improve the services and are the focus for future development.
