Abstract
A microcomputer-based gait recording system is described which can be used to analyse gait routinely in the clinical environment. Foot-ground reaction forces are acquired and processed and the resultant force vector is superimposed on the television image of the subject in real time. A TV-computer interface quantifies the position of reflective markers attached to the joint centres of the lower limb, and moment values, stick-figure diagrams, and joint angle changes can also be displayed shortly after data collection. The system has routine clinical applications in orthotics and prosthetics and is also a valuable tool in teaching the biomechanics of human movement.
