Inertial sensor-based knee flexion/extension angle estimation.
A new method for estimating knee joint flexion/extension angles from segment acceleration and angular velocity data is described. The approach uses a combination of Kalman filters and biomechanical constraints based on anatomical knowledge. In contrast to many recently published methods, the proposed approach does not make use of the earth's magnetic field and hence is insensitive to the comple...
متن کاملEstimation of the Knee Flexion-Extension Angle During Dynamic Sport Motions Using Body-worn Inertial Sensors
Motion analysis has become an important tool for athletes to improve their performance. However, most motion analysis systems are expensive and can only be used in a laboratory environment. Ambulatory motion analysis systems using inertial sensors would allow more flexible use, e.g. in a real training environment or even during competitions. This paper presents the calculation of the flexion-ex...
متن کاملEstimation and Tracking of Knee Angle Trajectory using Inertial Sensors and a Smartphone Application
We demonstrate a practical solution to track the 2-D knee angle trajectory of a user in real-time using inertial sensors embedded in a wearable knee-band wirelessly coupled with a mobile device, by mathematically modeling the knee as a hinge joint. We show how the bias of gyroscopes can be automatically computed to eliminate manual calibration and combined with a computationally simple Kalman f...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Myoelectric Controller based on Knee Angle Estimation
This paper presents the development of a bioinstrumentation system for the acquisition and pre-processing of surface electromyographic (SEMG) signals, as well as the proposal of a myoelectric controller for leg prostheses, using algorithms for feature extraction and classification of myoelectric patterns. The implemented microcontrolled bioinstrumentation system is capable of recording up to fo...
متن کاملInertial Thigh Angle Sensing for a Semi-active Knee Prosthesis
We present an application of a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-based inertial measurement unit (IMU) to thigh angle estimation for the control of a semi-active knee prosthesis. By using inertial based measurement devices, we can move all of our sensors to one location inside the prosthetic leg. These sensors are challenging to use, however, because error in their measurements will accumul...
