Pages 290-295 | Published online: 09 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

This paper reviews the currently available instrumentation used for gait studies and discusses the clinical suitability of the various methods of recording gait parameters. Most of the presently available motion analysis systems appear to be more suited to research than to the routine clinical situation. However the video vector visualisation technique appears to be the most useful clinically since it produces a real time display, is simple to operate and interpretation of the data is easier than other systems available. Some further development of the video vector visualization system is necessary to improve its accuracy and to produce quantitative information.
