Abstract

This research focuses on muscle weakness in the lower extremity and related gait problems. Gait cycle disorder is an important issue in the human body. Due to gait disorder, human life suffers mentally as well as physically. In medical science, gait cycle cures are available in orthopaedic and physiotherapy. Most gait disorder cases are cured with the help of an orthopaedic surgeon, but the surgeon requires analysis of particular muscles. This research work proposed different muscle analysis-based gait cycle disorders. This proposed comprehensive analysis helps to diagnose different gait cycle problems. The analysis of various gait cycle problems necessitates the use of simulation tools, and this research article also discusses the various tools and software that aid in the justification of muscle injury. In a nutshell, this research work focuses on the analysis of the different gait cycle problems, symptoms and effected muscle analysis simulation tools.
