    I seem to remember some time ago, a thread (possibly from Dr. Spooner) that discussed how to adapt a Nintendo WiiFit balance platform, connect it to a PC and use it as a simple force platform.
    Does anyone have any details.

    Many thanks

    G'day Phil.. we recently publishe a paper on the reliability of the Microsoft Kinect system in evaluating static foot position. You can read it at http://www.jfootankleres.com/content/6/1/14
    We have been using the system for dynamic gait analysis for some time, using a specially written algorithm. It is a very sophisticated bit of gear for $120 and the possibilities for clinical use are very promising indeed.
