We are developing a measurement device by means of which gait information can be obtained that cannot be obtained by existent devices. We are also evaluating the effectiveness of the device in rehabilitation programs. The final goal of our work is to realize a space where patients can execute their rehabilitation routines at any time. In this paper, we report the outline of our novel measurement device...

There are two conditions being studied in this paper, subjects are required to try and achieve a `standing quiet' stance, with their feet...
