Gait analysis is systematic quantification and evaluation of human walking. It has applications in the field of clinical sciences, video surveillance, rehabilitation therapies, etc. Various state-of-the-science, as well as traditional approaches, have been used for evaluating the gait cycle. This narrative review provides a brief understanding of all such approaches and methods used by scientists and clinicians in India. State-of-the-science approaches include marker based systems, wearable or non-wearable, sensors system, support vector machine, etc. Whereas traditional approaches include observational analysis, videography, etc. 3D gait analysis provides reliable data, however, is currently in limited use due to high instrumentation and maintenance costs involved. Indian scientific community can benefit for traditional approaches which are low-cost, reliable, and can be easy to implement in all sort of set-ups with relative ease.
