Abstract
A medically helpful mechatronical device for natural gait analysis is proposed. This consists of an instrumented shoe equipped with eight force sensors. The instantaneous plantar pressures are recorded by a personal digital assistant (PDA) belted on the patient hips. This article describes this original concept and the first results of its use
