More Information
Summary:Human gait parameters reveal much information about a person's possible health problems. These parameters can be used for the early diagnosis of neurogenerative diseases and to monitor the healing process during rehabilitation after an injury. The methods of monitoring gait parameters can be divided into two basic approaches. The first approach is to monitor the movement parameters of the lower extremities, tracking with the help of a camera system or with the help of accelerometers placed on the patient's body. The second approach is to monitor the loading of individual leg parts during walking. This paper will present the design of a wearable device for monitoring gait parameters, where several Inertial Measurement Units (each containing an accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer) will be used to process and evaluate the data. The presented design will consist of a microcontroller module, 1 to 3 IMU modules (accelerometer+gyroscope), and pressure sensors placed in the shoe's sole.
