Abstract
Clinical research has identified clear links between human gait characteristics and different medical conditions. However, there have been no sensor systems available to provide a reliable and quantifiable method of monitoring these parameters in a normal environment. The different technologies that can now be applied to a variety of medical applications are discussed.
