Abstract:Injury or disease often compromise walking dynamics and negatively impact quality of life and independence. Assessing methods to restore or improve pathological gait can be expedited by examining a global parameter that reflects overall musculoskeletal control. Center of mass (CoM) kinematics follow well-defined trajectories during unimpaired gait, and change predictably with various gait pathologies. We propose a method to estimate CoM trajectories from inertial measurement units (IMUs) using a bidirectional … Show more
