Application of Portable Force Platforms Equipped with a Device for Measuring Position and Orientation
With the development of modern technology for studying the movements of the human body, a large number of new measurement techniques are being applied. However, a complex and expensive device is not always the best one for personal requirements or for professional needs. We havedesigned and tested a...
