A simple method based on a leg movement is proposed here to align two inertial measurement units fixed on the thigh and shank segments. Based on the combination of the former alignment and a fusion algorithm, th
The method described in this paper can be easily adapted in order to measure other joint angular displacements such as elbow or ankle.Favre JJolles BMAissaoui RAminian KJournal of BiomechanicsFavre, J., et al., Ambulatory measurement of 3D knee joint angle. J Biomech, 2008. 41(5): p. ...
Measurement of three-dimensional (3D) knee joint angle outside a laboratory is of benefit in clinical examination and therapeutic treatment comparison. Although several motion capture devices exist, there is a need for an ambulatory system that could be used in routine practice. Up-to-date, ...
movement to an encoder using a 5:1 ratio to improve the measurement resolution. The main controller of the robot operates through a main PC responsible for creating the ROS 2 network, launching the therapeutic process and the state machine, integrating the kinematic patterns and set points and ...
