Zusammenfassung:Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for measuring and analyzing muscle flexibility to infer a change in gait. Muscle flexibility measurements are obtained using at least one sensor of a device attached to a body of a user. A flexibility quotient is calculated based on the obtained muscle flexibility measurements, user information, a type of activity, a workout duration and baseline data. A change in flexibility based on the calculated flexibility quotient and a baseline flexibility quotient is determined. A change in gait is inferred based on the determined change in flexibility and is reported to the user.
