Experiences in Development and Application of Simplified Technologies for Rehabilitation and Gait Analysis

We focus in developing and applying simplified low-cost technologies that allow an approach to rehabilitation process and make it accessible to the most number of subjects. We present two cases: the mechanical equipment for gait stimulation, and the computer system for gait analysis. In both cases we have developed technologies that are being applied with patiens with terapeutical results in concordance with literature. Statistical validation is being performed. These experiences provide access to rehabilitation technologies to a significant amount of patients, professionals and institutions.
