The CFTC GaitLink system is built around our proprietary motion-tracking digitizer board that plugs into an IBM-PC compatible computer. The basic system uses two video cameras and a force-platform to record the kinetics and kinematics of the test subject.

Data acquired at the remote test sites are electronically transmitted to the centralized data-processing/analysis center in Chicago. Processed data and a clinical report is sent back to the remote site within 48 hours.

The GaitLink hardware and software may also be used for general research use where accurate motion measurement is needed. Being designed around a PC compatible ISA-bus board, the system can be easily incorporated into any custom application.
