Dr. Gait III — A multimedia system for gait analysis

Quantification of human motion: gait analysis—benefits and limitations to its application to clinical problems

“…This program illustrates the feasibility of incorporating QUAWDS into an electronic clinical patient gait record. Dr. Gait III is a decision support system incorporating all aspects of analytical data interpretation and digital report generation (Johnson et al, 1996Simon et al, 1996). It uses all available gait study data that might be of interest to the clinician, including the medical history, physical exam, video (clips), stick figures, time/distance data, joint angles, moments, powers, and EMGs.…”

Improving the efficacy of motion analysis as a clinical tool through artificial intelligence techniques

“…Electronic patient records are seen as a necessity in most healthcare areas for this very reason. Our work with the Dr. Gait Ill systema multimedia system supporting report generation through the display and annotation of patient datashows the feasibility of electronic patient records for gait interpretation[ 1][2] [3].…”

“…The time it takes to write the report can be lessened by integration with the interpretation and the use of templates and automatic procedures to generate the report. An example of this can be seen in Dr. Gait I11 which provides tools for automatic identification of faults as well as the generation of text for inclusion in a report ( Figure 2) [ 1][2] [3]. Dr. Gait 111 was built such that the decision support tools are separablei.e.…”
