IMU-Based Joint Angle Measurement for Gait Analysis

IMU-Based Joint Angle Measurement for Gait Analysis

This contribution is concerned with joint angle calculation based on inertial measurement data in the context of human motion analysis. Unlike most robotic devices, the human body lacks even surfaces and right angles. Therefore, we focus on methods that avoid assuming certain orientations in which t...
