A novel microcomputer system analyzes gait in real-time using foot-ground forces and lower limb marker data. This clinical tool aids in orthotics, prosthetics, and biomechanics education.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Clinical Engineering
  • Human Movement Analysis

Background:

  • Gait analysis is crucial for clinical assessments in orthotics and prosthetics.
  • Existing methods may lack real-time feedback and comprehensive data integration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a microcomputer-based system for routine clinical gait analysis.
  • To demonstrate the system's capability for real-time data processing and visualization.

Main Methods:

  • Acquisition and processing of foot-ground reaction forces.
  • Real-time superimposition of force vectors onto video images.
  • Quantification of lower limb joint center positions using reflective markers and a TV-computer interface.

Main Results:
