Human gait simulation using virtual reality

The modelization of 3D forms is imperative to progress in the clinical study of anatomical structures. 3D modelization has contributed to the development of new methods solving particular problems concerning anatomical structures analysis. Virtual reality presents itself as a promising alternative in the visualization of medical images, it permits a specialist to work in interactive sessions that simulate real conditions. Programming languages like VRML helps in the creation of 3D simulation tools for the clinical diagnosis of associated anatomical problems. Such tools make the analysis and quantification of the anatomical structure and its movements more accurate. In this work, a 3D model of the human lower limbs has been integrated with the programming VRML plate-form. This 3D simulation, coupled with the distinct interactive parametric curves, provides a mechanism for the advanced analysis of the movements of the human gait.
