Abstract

Gait is, quite simply, the pattern of how a person walks. These gait parameters vary due to age, weight, height and the duration of a mode of work stress on the individual. Gait pattern is used to identify the individuals with the help of anthropological adoptions of the individual. The present study, it is a standardized pattern of collection and with the purpose of compression of gait patterns among two different occupations. In this present study different occupations like officials and labours are taken as subjects of
sampling. And samples are in number of 30 each, and were observed under 7 parameters.
From these parameters we get to know that the subject with different occupation will change the gait parameters such as stride length and step length shorten while the stride width widens to achieve postural stability and kinematic adaption. There is a significant difference in mean value and value of gait parameters across the different occupation for the angle of left shoe print, the distance between left to right and right to left shoe step and gait base in both the occupations. It appeared that the occupational stress of different mode of occupations would change the orientation of the lower extremity segments with particular changes
occurring at the ankle and knee due to which to maintain balance smaller steps taken by the subject.

Keywords: Gait, Anthropological, Postural stability, Kinematic adaption, Footwear garments.
