Measures of subcutaneous adipose tissue are important because individuals with large values are reported to be at increased risks for hypertension adult onset diabetes. Although effective this technique is obtrusive and expensive. Results obtained comparing the trajectories of the two methods showed that the errors were lower than 3 ih p and 2 deg during a 4s of acquisition and lower than 6 ih q and 02 deg during the effective duration of a locomotory task. The current clinical solution for motion sensing is to use a camera based motion capture system 89 where the body motion is derived from the movement of multiple feature points attached on the body. This difference will give the number of inches the skirt is above the floor level. An appendix shows how the signals from six accelerometers may be used to define completely the movement of a body in space.
