Abstract
An electrogoniometer is a device used to measure the angle of joints during dynamic movements. Flexion ,extension , abduction and adduction are the motions that are measured by an electrogoniameter . This study has both software and hardware parts. In its hardware part, these elements have been used: A PIC16F877 as the microcontroller, two 32 kilobytes memories, an 8 channel A/D IC, and elements like resistors, capacitors and some other elements. The Lab VIEW software has been used for receiving data. This software shows the gathered information thorough printer port which is sent from the external memories. But anyway the goal of using such different tools is designing and synthesis of wired pants that records the angels of feet and legs (8 JOINTS) simultaneously and showing them in the computer. The most advantage of these pants is its dynamicmovement measuring.
