            Abstract : 
The integration of measurement setups with the associated experimental protocols and software procedures constitutes a computer-aided movement analysis (CAMA) system. The causes that limit the clinical acceptance of movement analysis methods are discussed. The structure of the system is then presented. A specific CAMA system devoted to posture analysis is described as an example. Results obtained with the support of the described system are reported.
