Abstract:Gait analysis is widely used to assess deficits following sports injuries or monitor recovery during rehabilitation [1]. While traditional technologies such as motion capture systems and instrumented force plates can be used to measure kinematics during relevant phases of gait, they are confined to lab environments. Advances in inertial measurement unit (IMU) technology provide alternative prospects for portable assessment of both gait events and kinematics. PURPOSE: Evaluate IMU-based system (wearable sensors… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
