【 摘 要 】

Gait laboratories comprise a diversity of devices of medium and high complexity with which it is possible to obtain records that quantify spatio-temporal patterns of human movement. Scientific knowledge achieved on the basis of such records in the normal and pathological gait is being applied to the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of various diseases, as well as to the design of better methods for rehabilitation of motor disorders. In this paper we present a goniometry system designed as part of the gait laboratory of the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering of the University of Buenos Aires. This system allows the measurement of angles in three dimensions between different body segments. Angles are sensed by means of electronic goniometers and presented real-time on a computer screen through a wireless communication channel.
