Method for Wearable Kinematic Gait Analysis Using a Harmonic Oscillator Applied to the Center of Mass

A model based on a harmonic oscillator describing human walking and balance with the sinusoidal trajectory of the center of mass of a subject during gait is presented. This model allows overcoming the traditional drift due to the double integration of raw acceleration data. The protocol uses a singl...
