Abstract
A new method for analysis and recording of gait parameters is reported. This method consists of a television camera interfaced with a PDP-11/10 minicomputer. The TV camera picks up anatomical points of interest such as knee joint, ankle joint, etc., to which small lights are attached and the computer calculates their coordinates and joint angles as a function of time.
