Abstract :
The objective of this study is to analyze the march of the individual at the time of climbing the steps, to obtain the variations of the angles of the main involved joints as they are the hip, knees and ankle. In order to make this study a standardized set of steps was built according to the Mexican norm NOM026STPS-2008. The data acquisition and results of the curves produced in the course of the march were made by means of the Kinect sensor. The tests for this study were made in 5 young adult men with an average of stature of 1,71 meters, an average of weight of 63 kg, without any type of injury or physical incapacity in their inferior extremities.
