In stabilo: Stabilometric Signal Quantification

#' @title Quantifies the length of a given Center-of-pressure trajectory (statokinesigram)
#'
#' @name sttklength
#'
#' @description Computes the length of of a given Center-of-pressure trajectory.
#'
#' @param dados data frame with two columns "x" and "y"
#'
#' @details 'dados' is a data frame containing two columns named "x" and "y".    The pairs (x, y) are the coordinates of the center of pressure acquired in a period of time.
#'
#' @return The length of the given COP trajectory \code{sttklength}.
