Abstract

Very recent research directions have been devoted to providing a theoretical foundation to the experimental evidence that human movements, such as walking, are able to induce time-harmonic motor patterns. The resulting findings have shown that such harmonic structures are characterized by the golden ratio occurring as the ratio of the durations of the walking gait sub-phases that compose generalized Fibonacci sequences. A new comprehensive gait index, named Φ-bonacci gait number, and a new related experimental conjecture – concerning the position of the foot relative to the tibia – have been concurrently proposed to capture the most reliable and objective (quantitive) outcome measures (and their distortions in pathological subjects) of recursivity, asymmetry, consistency, and self-similarity (harmonicity) of the gait cycle. This paper provides, for the first time, experimental results on healthy and pathological gaits – related to benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) – that fully support the aforementioned theoretical derivations.
