In this paper, we present a nonlinear analysis software toolkit, which can help in biomechanical gait data analysis by implementing various nonlinear statistical analysis algorithms. The toolkit is proposed to tackle the need for an easy-to-use and friendly analyzer for gait data where algorithms seem complex to implement in software and execute. With the availability of our toolkit, people without programming knowledge can run the analysis to receive human gait data analysis results. Our toolkit includes the implementation of several nonlinear analysis algorithms, while it is also possible for users with programming experience to expand its scope by implementing and adding more algorithms to the toolkit. Currently, the toolkit supports MatLab bindings while being developed in Python. The toolkit can seamlessly run as a background process to analyze hundreds of different gait data and produce analysis outcomes and figures that illustrate these results.
