Inertial Measurement System for Human Gait Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
An inertial measurement system is described in this study. In the first part of the paper history and gait cycle terminology are described and a relevant research is made. The system is used for an analysis of human gait and determination of its major parameters. Several inertial measurement units (IMUs) are attached to subject’s feet. The program is used to analyze original signals from the IMUs. The analysis algorithm is described in detail. Performed experiments and the ways the data were analyzed are also described. The paper also includes the statistical estimation of the data.

Inertial Sensor-Based Two Feet Motion Tracking for Gait Analysis
Two feet motion is estimated for gait analysis. An inertial sensor is attached on each shoe and an inertial navigation algorithm is used to estimate the movement of both feet. To correct inter-shoe position error, a camera is installed on the right shoe and infrared LEDs are installed on the left shoe. The proposed system gives key gait analysis parameters such as step length, stride length, fo...
متن کاملIMU-Based Joint Angle Measurement for Gait Analysis
This contribution is concerned with joint angle calculation based on inertial measurement data in the context of human motion analysis. Unlike most robotic devices, the human body lacks even surfaces and right angles. Therefore, we focus on methods that avoid assuming certain orientations in which the sensors are mounted with respect to the body segments. After a review of available methods tha...
متن کاملValidation of an Inertial Sensor System for Quantifying Knee Function
Gait analysis has become a useful tool for clinicians in evaluating the progression of pathologies through functional analysis. The high cost and dedicated laboratories associated with the traditional camera-based motion analysis systems present the need for an alternative system. Direct measurement of kinetic parameters using inertial sensors (gyroscopes and accelerometers), in place of indire...
متن کاملTowards Mobile Gait Analysis: Concurrent Validity and Test-Retest Reliability of an Inertial Measurement System for the Assessment of Spatio-Temporal Gait Parameters
The purpose of this study was to assess the concurrent validity and test-retest reliability of a sensor-based gait analysis system. Eleven healthy subjects and four Parkinson's disease (PD) patients were asked to complete gait tasks whilst wearing two inertial measurement units at their feet. The extracted spatio-temporal parameters of 1166 strides were compared to those extracted from a refere...
متن کاملGait-force model and inertial measurement unit-based measurements: A new approach for gait analysis and balance monitoring
Background/Objective This work describes a new approach for gait analysis and balance measurement. It uses an inertial measurement unit (IMU) that can either be embedded inside a dynamically unstable platform for balance measurement or mounted on the lower back of a human participant for gait analysis. Methods and Results The acceleration data along three Cartesian coordinates is analyzed by ...
