Zusammenfassung:The subject of the invention is portable electronic apparatuses for locomotory recording and/or reeducation. An apparatus according to the invention includes a goniometer which is composed of two arms 3a, 3b fixed on the external side of the thigh and the leg and a potentiometer 5 which is placed at the knee joint and which delivers an analog signal proportional to the angle of bending of the leg. It furthermore includes a central processing unit which is placed in a back pack 1 and which is associated with a cassette drive 8 and a keyboard 7, which allows programs recorded on the cassettes or numerical data, in particular knee extension threshold values to be loaded into the RAM of the central processing unit. It may furthermore include an ambulatory stimulator 11 which is connected to transcutaneous electrodes 12a, 12b acting on the muscles which lift the foot. One application is the reeducation of hemiplegics. L'INVENTION A POUR OBJET DES APPAREILS ELECTRONIQUES PORTATIFS D'ENREGISTREMENT ETOU DE REEDUCATION DE LA LOCOMOTION.UN APPAREIL SELON L'INVENTION COMPORTE UN GONIOMETRE QUI EST COMPOSE DE DEUX BRAS 3A, 3B, FIXES SUR LE COTE EXTERNE DE LA CUISSE ET DE LA JAMBE ET D'UN POTENTIOMETRE 5 QUI EST PLACE AU NIVEAU DE L'ARTICULATION DU GENOU ET QUI DELIVRE UN SIGNAL ANALOGIQUE PROPORTIONNEL A L'ANGLE DE FLEXION DE LA JAMBE. IL COMPORTE, EN OUTRE, UNE UNITE CENTRALE QUI EST PLACEE DANS UN SAC A DOS 1 ET QUI EST ASSOCIEE A UN ENREGISTREUR-LECTEUR DE CASSETTES 8 ET A UN CLAVIER 7, QUI PERMET D'ENTRER DANS LA MEMOIRE VIVE DE L'UNITE CENTRALE DES PROGRAMMES ENREGISTRES SUR CASSETTES OU DES DONNEES NUMERIQUES, NOTAMMENT DES VALEURS DU SEUIL D'EXTENSION DU GENOU. IL PEUT COMPORTER, EN OUTRE, UN STIMULATEUR AMBULATOIRE 11 QUI EST RELIE A DES ELECTRODES TRANSCUTANEES 12A, 12B AGISSANT SUR LES MUSCLES RELEVEURS DU PIED.UNE APPLICATION EST LA REEDUCATION DES HEMIPLEGIQUES.
