Abstract: Gait Evaluation Differential Entropy Measure (GEDEM) [1] is a new quantitative approach to evaluating the condition of a subject by monitoring the acceleration [2][3]. The approach is capable to identify medical conditions [2, 3] and is also not dependent on age, weight, height or BMI. The initial studies [4][5][6] required the walking on the ground along a straight line for 20-30 sec-onds. Due to the promising results of the method, work is currently carried out on a treadmill. The treadmill alleviates the constraint of long corridors, and ad-ditionally offers better control on the gait velocity, minimum deviation in the coronal plane, and less variability in the GEDEM values [7, 8]. This work in-vestigates the relationship between the gait velocity and the GEDEM. The gait velocity is a measurement parameter that influences the gait acceleration spec-trum and therefore it is expected to influence GEDEM values.
