Abstract

The article presents the application of decision tree techniques to exploring barometric information obtained with instruments measuring the pressure of the human plantar onto contact surface while walking. The investigation was carried out on a group of 28 typical subjects as well as the subjects affected by Pes Planovalgus and Cerebral Palsy. The decision tree has been inducted by means of the vector of 255 values describing single stride with 51 samples per each of five zones of the human foot. The classification made by the resultant decision tree was correct for more then 94% strides. This allows to point the parameters which are the best discriminators between the investigated types of human gait.
