    Computerized Function Testing Corporation (CFTC) (Chicago, Illinois,
    USA)
    -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
    Computerized Functional Testing Corporation (CFTC) services a national
    network of gait analysis clinics.

    The CFTC GaitLink system is built around our proprietary motion-tracking
    digitizer board that plugs into an IBM-PC compatible computer. The basic
    system uses two video cameras and a force-platform to record the
    kinetics
    and kinematics of the test subject.

    Data acquired at the remote test sites are electronically transmitted to
    the centralized data-processing/analysis center in Chicago. Processed
    data
    and a clinical report is sent back to the remote site within 48 hours.

    The GaitLink hardware and software may also be used for general research
    use where accurate motion measurement is needed. Being designed around a
    PC
    compatible ISA-bus board, the system can be easily incorporated into any
    custom application.

    University and co-author of Muscles Alive. It was established for the
    purpose of transferring technology developed by his research group
    during
    the past quarter century.

    Delsys offers two special surface EMG electrodes: a two-channel portable
    EMG system, and an eight-channel EMG system designed to be integrated
    into
    a personal computer. All our products are precision instruments. They
    are
    designed and constructed to meet the most exacting needs of researchers
    and
    clinicians. Other products are under development and will be announced
    as
    they are ready for delivery.

    Musculographics, Inc. (Evanston, IL, USA)
    -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
    MusculoGraphics, Inc., is a consulting and software development company
    specializing in biomechanics. The company was formed to help satisfy the
    growing need for highly accurate computer models of the human body. In
    addition to marketing several software programs, the company also
    develops
    custom software solutions in collaboration with industry partners.

    Products: SIMM (Software for Interactive Musculoskeletal Modeling) is a
    graphics-based software system that enables the user to quickly develop
    and
    analyze musculoskeletal models.

    SIMM/Gait is an enhanced version of SIMM for use in animating and
    analyzing
    movement analysis data. It includes a translator program that converts
    the
    data you collect in your gait lab to a format readable by SIMM.

    The Dynamics Pipeline is a general-purpose software package which
    simulates
    the dynamics of rigid-body systems. The Pipeline enables users to
    perform
    forward and inverse dynamic simulations on musculoskeletal models
    without
