Abstract
A technique was devised for measuring pelvic rotations in the frontal and sagittal planes using precision potentiometers attached to a firmly strapped external ´pelvis girdle´. The system is easy to operate and provides comprehensive results for clinical purposes. The limitations of the system were examined by static and dynamic tests.
