title: [Experimental evaluation of hip dynamics].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The main aim of this study was to build a dynamometric platform in order to measure the variation of the reaction force on the ground, a very important parameter for evaluating the stability of a patient.
  
  
  METHODS
  A dynamometric platform for experimental determination of ground-side reaction was design. Using this platform, a theoretical model of the active forces in the limb joints was elaborated.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The experimental results of experiments on healthy persons and patients with locomotion disabilities were combined with the theoretical model to determinate the hip reaction force.
