title: Estimation of stature from stride length while walking fast.
abstract: Estimation of stature from various foot and shoe measurements with the help of statistical methods is well known. However, very little work has been reported on stature estimation from stride length. As the stride length may vary in different walking speeds, in the present paper, stride length of individuals were measured while walking fast on smooth substrate has been compared with the stride length in the normal pattern of walking. Although the formulae derived are different for faster pace, the range of error in estimation of stature remains almost the same.
