Comprehensive gait data acquisition system

Gait analysis is an important tool in helping identify the problems and abnormalities in human locomotion, and help provide clinical intervention to aide rehabilitation. Currently, the available systems in analysing patients gait patterns are expensive. Thus, in the Philippines, doctors and physicia...
