After complete or partial paralysis due to stroke or spinal cord injury, electrical nerve
stimulation can be used to artificially generate functional muscle contractions. This …

Due to their relative ease of handling and low cost, inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based
joint angle measurements are used for a widespread range of applications. These include …

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 …

In inertial body tracking, the human body is commonly represented as a biomechanical
model consisting of rigid segments with known lengths and connecting joints. The model …

Recent advances in micro-electromechanical systems technology have enabled the
evolution of miniature, low-power, and high-performance inertial motion sensors that are …

Traditionally, inertial measurement units-(IMU) based human joint angle estimation requires
a priori knowledge about sensor alignment or specific calibration motions. Furthermore …

Inertial measurement units (IMUs) have been demonstrated to reliably measure human joint
angles—an essential quantity in the study of biomechanics. However, most previous …

One of the most important forces generated during gait is the vertical ground reaction force
(vGRF). This force can be measured using force plates, but these can limit the scope of gait …
