Analysing human running styles with an embedded system containing accelerometers » Contact : Marcus

چکیده
The goal of the proposed bachelor thesis is to investigate algorithms to analyse how a human runs, based on the acceleration of their legs or feet measured with accelerometer chips. Different styles of running need to be detected reliably and distinguished from walking. It should be detected if a human runs uphill, downhill or on a flat path. In addition the stress to the body (e.g. on articulations, bones) has to be measured. The effect of shock absorbing running shoes should be analysed.

Analytical Investigation of Tire-Road Contact Characteristics for Wheelchair Robots Safely Running
To effectively improve the tire grounding behaviors of wheelchair robots, an analytical method is proposed to analyze and optimize the tire grounding safety. Firstly, taking the cushion and tires as the vibration isolation elements with stiffness and damping, the vertical vibration model of the human-wheelchair robot is established. Then, taking the random excitation as the typical input, the f...
متن کاملA review of mechanics and injury trends among various running styles.
CONTEXT Running related overuse injuries are a significant problem with half of all runners sustaining an injury annually. Many medical providers and coaches question how to advise their running clients to prevent injuries. Alternative running styles with a more anterior footstrike such as barefoot running, POSE running, and Chi running are becoming more popular. Little information, however, ha...
متن کاملAssessing Stride Variables and Vertical Stiffness with GPS-Embedded Accelerometers: Preliminary Insights for the Monitoring of Neuromuscular Fatigue on the Field.
The aim of the present study was to examine the ability of a GPS-imbedded accelerometer to assess stride variables and vertical stiffness (K), which are directly related to neuromuscular fatigue during field-based high-intensity runs. The ability to detect stride imbalances was also examined. A team sport player performed a series of 30-s runs on an instrumented treadmill (6 runs at 10, 17 and ...
متن کاملuWave: Accelerometer-based Personalized Gesture Rec- ognition
The proliferation of low power, low cost accelerometers on consumer electronics has brought an opportunity to personalize gesture-based interaction. We present uWave [8], an efficient personalized gesture recognizer based on a 3-D accelerometer. The core technical components of uWave include quantization of accelerometer readings, dynamic time warping and template adaptation. Unlike statistical...
متن کاملRocking Rotation of a Rigid Disk Embedded in a Transversely Isotropic Half-Space
The asymmetric problem of rocking rotation of a circular rigid disk embedded in a finite depth of a transversely isotropic half-space is analytically addressed. The rigid disk is assumed to be in frictionless contact with the elastic half-space. By virtue of appropriate Green's functions, the mixed boundary value problem is written as a dual integral equation. Employing further mathematical tec...
