Abstract :
Kinematic measurements using active markers are well known methods. This paper aims at the development of an image analysis algorithm and LabVIEW based software tool for active marker based gait analysis. Active markers in the form of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were positioned at anatomical landmarks to measure the coordinated kinematics of human joints.
