Abstract :
As the delivery of healthcare services within society changes, new challenges and opportunities emerge. It is suggested that an opportunity is unfolding that could move motion analysis approaches into a new clinical practice paradigm. This involves taking advantage of emerging advances in information technologies and communications standards, and of upcoming societal investment in wireless and intelligent systems technologies. To effectively design systems that address clinical needs, certain barriers need to be overcome; strategies are suggested
