In this paper, the diffusion entropy technique is applied to investigate the scaling behavior of stride interval fluctuations of human gait. The scaling behavior of the stride interval of human walking at normal, slow and fast rate are similar; with the scale-invariance exponents in the interval $[0.663,0.955]$, of which the mean value is $0.821\pm0.011$. Dynamical analysis of these stride interval fluctuations reveals a self-similar pattern: Fluctuation at one time scale are statistically similar to those at multiple other time scales, at least over hundreds of steps, while the healthy subjects walk at their normal rate. The long-range correlations are observed during the spontaneous walking after the removal of the trend in the time series with Fourier filter. These findings uncover that the fractal dynamics of stride interval of human gait are normally intrinsic to the locomotor systems.
