Human gait is defined as bipedal, biphasic forward propulsion of center of gravity of the human body, in which there are alternate sinuous movements of different segments of the body with least expenditure of energy. Different gait patterns are characterized by differences in limb-movement patterns, overall velocity, forces, kinetic and potential energy cycles, and changes in the contact with the surface (ground, floor, etc.). Human gaits are the various ways in which a human can move, either naturally or as a result of specialized training or physical limitations.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"toggleTitle acco_plus\">Biosystem Circuits and Electronics Laboratory P-419<\/div><div class=\"hide_accordian\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pupr.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/P419_1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23846\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pupr.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/P419_1.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pupr.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/P419_1.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.pupr.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/P419_1-24x18.png 24w, https:\/\/www.pupr.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/P419_1-36x27.png 36w, https:\/\/www.pupr.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/P419_1-48x36.png 48w\" alt=\"P419_1\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" \/><\/a><\/p><p>Biosystem circuits and electronics laboratory is a modern laboratory, which is used for teaching and research purposes in Biomedical Engineering program.
