The gait laboratory is composed of contacts to relieve the support on the ground, goniometric transducers with an articulated parallelogram, active sensors for cutaneous electromyography, patient unit for data collection and transmission, interface modules for signal reconstruction, software for data elaboration. All data was elaborated in order to give normative data for Italian population. There were no differences between right and left side, nor between male and female subjects.
