The GAITRite system from CIR System Inc is the most popular method for the objective measurement of Gait parameters in a clinical setting. The GAITRite system automates the measurement of the temporal (timing) and spatial (distance) parameters of Gait via an electronic walkway connected to the serial port of a PC. The standard GAITRite system comprises of six sensor pads encapsulated in mat which can be rolled up. The mat has an area of 61cm x 366cm. The mat has 13824 sensors spaced at 1.27 cm apart. As the patient walks across the walkway the system captures data with respective to each footstep and calculates both temporal and spatial parameters for the walk.
