Abstract

We describe the software system for improving the efficiency of the gait measuring experiment for the rehabilitation of amputees. This software has the following features: (1) The system consists of independent programs that are connected by a CHAIN statement. So it can easily adjust to the changes or progress in equipment and the measuring method; (2) the flow structure is organized in terms of the algorithm of minimal automata so that redundancy appearing in repeated measurements is eliminated and the load on the amputee is reduced.
