The computer era in gait analysis.
This article traces the history of the use of computers in the analysis of human gait. Following a brief retrospective review of the precomputer era, the topics of motion, force, and pressure analysis using computers are discussed. The need for careful justification of clinically applied techniques is stressed throughout, and some future trends are anticipated.
