Gait Assessment Video Instructions

1. Clothing: Please wear a jog bra (women) or shirtless (men). No one sees these videos but me. If you are uncomfortable doing so, please wear a light colored shirt as tight as is comfortable. Please be barefoot. Please wear shorts or tight exercise pants (e.g. yoga pants) rolled up; I need to be able to see your knees.
2. Record a video of yourself walking away from the camera and toward the camera three times (preferably using the hudl technique app). Please set up camera so we can see your whole body for most of the time and such that the video is vertically oriented rather than horizontal (taller rather than wider). Try to walk at your normal speed — most people walk more slowly when recording. Try to walk as normally as possible; pretend you are walking down the street and no one is recording you. A distance of about 15 feet is great, but not necessary. Please record the longest distance possible up to 15 feet.
3. Record another video of your gait viewed from the side. You will not have to walk as far as you will only be visible in the camera for a short distance. Please make sure I can see your whole body (from feet to top of head).
4. Once you have recorded your videos, please share with my email margyverba@hotmail.com directly from the hudl technique app; hudl seems to work best if you allow the video to upload before sharing. Make sure to fill in your name when you save the video (i.e. fill in “Who’s in this video” on the “Save” form). If you are not using hudl, please text me the videos at 760-920-2284, or email them to margyverba@hotmail.com, and make sure to include your name.
