Three-dimensional motion analysis systems and force plates are used for gait phase detection and ground reaction force(GRF) or ground reaction moment(GRM) data collection. But force plates as measurement systems are restricted to laboratory environments and have limitations for abnormal walking with foot dragging. Therefore the methods were proposed to compute the GRM from the kinematic data of three-dimensional motion analysis systems. Gait phase detection with kinematic data using foot velocity algorithm(FVA) was performed. The validity of gait phase detection was obtained comparing with the results of force plates. A gait model with 7 segments was composed to compute GRM. The results of gait model with kinematic data were compared with those of force plates. The result of the vertical direction is similar. But anterior-posterior direction and lateral direction show similar tendency with some gaps.
