Abstract

It is described a man locomotive functionality evaluating apparatus comprising a rigid platform adapted to support a subject walking thereonto and exercising on it a force and/or pressure due to said walking; a plurality of force and/or pressure transducing members operatively associated with the platform for providing electric signals representative of the force and/or pressure on the platform and a hybrid processor circuitally connected to said transducing members and adapted to in-line converting on output display means the time-space representation of the projection on a plane of the resultant of the forces and/or pressures acting on the platform.
