Gait analysis is the systematic study of animal locomotion, more specifically that of human motion, and is used to assess, plan, and treat individuals with conditions affecting their ability to walk.
“In gait analysis,” said Donati, “it is essential to track the movement of the centre of mass and the orientation of the trunk.” By using one inertial sensor placed on the upper body of a subject, he explained, “We are able to calculate and trace a personalized profile of a walking patient. This way, the clinician has an object parameter that will serve as an aid to design rehabilitation processes and evaluate their outcome.”
The SIAMOC award highlights the importance of performing clinical tests using one wearable and wireless inertial sensor placed at trunk level. Through the measures of linear accelerations and angular velocities of FreeSense, the movements of the upper body were analyzed through the implementation of an innovative Kalman filter algorithm.
“In rehabilitation, the analysis of walking has always been a central issue because walking is one of the most carried out motor gestures by all animals. For this reason we are very proud of the award with which SIAMOC has presented us,“ declared Emidio di Laura Frattura (General Manager of SENSORIZE) at the end of the ceremony. “This award sheds light on scientific research using our technology which aims at optimizing rehabilitation procedures using innovative technology,” he added.
