Abstract
An on-line system for continuously monitoring 10
different quantitative measures of walking movements
to a high fidelity was employed in a study
comparing the effects of tolerance for alcohol and
dosage level in mg/kg body weight over an 80 minute
period following drinking. The data were subjected
to multivariate analyses of covariance. Complex
changes in walking were detected--some transient--during the period of observation. Different
measures were optimally sensitive in monitoring a
straight walking task and a blindfolded complex
walk. The consequent problems of validation and
generalization are noted.
