re.: GAIT ANALYSIS SYSTEMS, recommendations for reliable and simple
system.
To all who have PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE with different gait
analysis systems:
For investigations in orthopaedic patients we need a
gait analysis system with a sampling frequency of 50 Hz (video system)
and a measuring accuracy of about 3 - 4 mm in a measuring field of 2 x
3 meter. Possibly a system with one camera on each side of the patient
would be sufficient, as we are mainly interested in angle measurements
in one plane. Special requirements are: low price and the possibility
of REAL TIME display of markers. Ideal would be software with a real
time data capture module which can DIRECTLY be included into
programs written in Visual Basic, as DLLs or Avtive Controls. Reliable
routines for tracking hidden markers would be favourable.
Recommendations for systems which are GOOD suited OR should better NOT
be bought are highly welcome .
Thank you !
