Accelerometer and rate gyroscope measurement of kinematics: an inexpensive alternative to optical motion analysis systems

A general-purpose system to obtain the kinematics of gait in the sagittal plane based on body-mounted sensors was developed. It consisted of four uniaxial seismic accelerometers and one rate gyroscope per body segment. Tests were done with 10 young healthy volunteers, walking at five different speed...
