Abstract
The development of Human Gait Analysis since its origins has been primarily carried out in research laboratories. Currently there is a wide interest in implementing this kind of tools in the clinical setting, for which it is important to identify obstacles and facilitators that intervene in the implementation of the techniques. The Human Movement Research Laboratory (LIMH) developed a software to obtain spatiotemporal gait parameters. This paper presents the process of development and analysis of two documents that facilitate the application of the method in clinical settings. The documents are a protocol for videographic recording and a software Manual. For this purpose, test recordings were made under different filming conditions, with a rubric for evaluation of the recordings quality. The manual was created by exhaustively monitoring the software steps and user tests.
