Inertial Sensor-Based Lower Limb Joint Kinematics: A Methodological Systematic Review

The use of inertial measurement units (IMUs) has gained popularity for the estimation of lower limb kinematics. However, implementations in clinical practice are still lacking. The aim of this review is twofold-to evaluate the methodological requirements for IMU-based joint kinematic estimation to be applicable in a clinical setting, and to...

Drift-Free Inertial Sensor-Based Joint Kinematics for Long-Term Arbitrary Movements

The ability to capture joint kinematics in outside-laboratory environments is clinically relevant. In order to estimate kinematics, inertial measurement units can be attached to body segments and their absolute orientations can be estimated. However, the heading part of such orientation estimates is known to drift over time, resulting in...
