Temporal gait monitoring: a new device.
A new device that provides continuous recording of gait and gait events is presented. It can be used with motor point electromyography to perform walking electromyography, an electrogoniometer to continuously record joint position, or other measuring devices to record events or activities related to phase of gait. The major advantages of this system as compared with available systems are ease of use, decreased patient encumbrance, potential for portability, potential for digitizing the signal for minicomputer compatibility, and greatly reduced expense.
