Sažetak
The aim nof this paper was to investigate the influence of upper limbs movement on trajectory of the body mass centre during human walking.An automatised method for determination of the total body centre of mass has been established. Measurements have been applied to 52 subjects with no apparent abnormalities of the locomotion system, using the ELITE system. Recording of trajectories of characteristic body points on subjects has been performed at walking with natural and emphasised upper limbs swing. The determined mean values of normalised components of trajectories of the body mass centre have been compared and the differences between gait with natural and emphasised upper limbs swing have been described.
