Kinematic analysis is indispensable to understanding and characterizing human locomotion.
Thanks to the development of inertial sensors based on microelectronics systems, human …

This study aims to validate a commercially available inertial sensor based motion capture
system, Xsens MVN BIOMECH using its native protocols, against a camera-based motion …

Time periods composing stance phase of gait can be clinically meaningful parameters to
reveal differences between normal and pathological gait. This study aimed, first, to describe …

The increased use of gait analysis has raised the need for a better understanding of how
walking speed and demographic variations influence asymptomatic gait. Previous analyses …

We have realized a flexible force sensor, composed of four redundant capacitors, the
operation of which is based on the measurement of a load-induced capacitance change. We …

Background: The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury can be decreased
through the use of intervention programs. However, the success of these programs is …

Background: Calculation of lower limb kinetics is limited by floor-mounted force-plates.
Objectives: Comparison of hip joint moments, power and mechanical work on the prosthetic …

Three-dimensional analysis of the entire sequence in ski jum** is recommended when
studying the kinematics or evaluating performance. Camera-based systems which allow …

Usually the measurement of multi-segment foot and ankle complex kinematics is done with
stationary motion capture devices which are limited to use in a gait laboratory. This study …

We propose a new method, based on inertial sensors, to automatically measure at high
frequency the durations of the main phases of ski jum** (ie take-off release, take-off, and …
