In Vivo Measurement of Wrist Movements during the Dart-Throwing Motion Using Inertial Measurement Units

Accurate Position Tracking Using Inertial Measurement Units

Indoor Positioning Using Inertial Measurement Units

With the increase in the number of smart phone users worldwide there comes a high demand for smart phone based location systems. Within the project “Indoor positioning using inertial measurement units” an android application has been developed wherein the position of the smart phone user with respect to the floor environment is determined. This has been achieved using the smart phone sensors st...

Scaphoid and lunate motion during a wrist dart throw motion.

PURPOSE The primary purpose of this study was to measure the in vitro scaphoid and lunate motion during 9 different variations of a wrist dart throw motion. Another goal was to determine the specific dart throw motion that minimized scaphoid and lunate motion. METHODS Scaphoid and lunate motion were recorded in 7 cadaver forearms during various combinations of wrist dart throw motions caused ...

Improving Accuracy of Inertial Measurement Units using Support Vector Regression

Inertial measurement unit (IMU) is a sensor that measures acceleration and angular velocity rate. It has become increasingly popular due to its small size and low cost comparing to typical marker-based motion capture system. Nonetheless, IMUs face considerable challenges, in particular noticeable inaccuracy from accumulated integration errors. In this project, we attempted to improve accuracy o...

Android Platform for Realtime Gait Tracking Using Inertial Measurement Units

One of the most important movements performed by the humans is gait. Biomechanical Gait analysis is usually by optical capture systems. However, such systems are expensive and sensitive to light and obstacles. In order to reduce those costs a system based on Inertial Measurements Units (IMU) is proposed. IMU are a good option to make movement analisys indoor with a low post-processing data, all...
