Active marker based kinematic and spatio-temporal gait measurement system using LabVIEW vision
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study presents an automated, easy to use, cost-effective, patient-friendly, active marker based gait measurement (GM) system for 2-D tracking and extraction of spatio-temporal parameters of human gait. Active markers, consisting of visible light-emitting diodes (LEDs), were positioned at anatomical landmarks to measure coordinated kinematics of human joints. Acquired image data were processed and analyzed using LabVIEW vision for determination of spatio-temporal parameters.

متن کاملAssessment of spatio-temporal gait parameters from trunk accelerations during human walking.
This paper studies the feasibility of an analysis of spatio-temporal gait parameters based upon accelerometry. To this purpose, acceleration patterns of the trunk and their relationships with spatio-temporal gait parameters were analysed in healthy subjects. Based on model predictions of the body's centre of mass trajectory during walking, algorithms were developed to determine spatio-temporal ...
