The method involves measuring the exerted forces or moments. The measured forces or moments are evaluated in real time. A gait parameter is visually represented as feedback for the user. The visual representation of gait parameters takes place by an animation, particularly self-explanatory animation. The gait parameter includes a force profile, a temporal symmetry, a force symmetry, a foot lift or weight distribution. An independent claim is included for a device for gait analysis or gait rehabilitation.
