  • Re: inclinometers (tilt sensors)?

    If you are looking for sensors of any kind look at
    http://www.globalspec.com/. Just put Inclinometers in the search and
    follow it into the specific search engine. You'll find a lot of them.
    Good hunt.

    Subject: [BIOMCH-L] inclinometers (tilt sensors)?

    I am looking for lightweight inclinometers or tilt sensors that I can
    mount
    on a person's legs during walking for real time feedback of torso,
    thigh,
    shank, and foot angles relative to vertical. It has to be real time (no
    post processing analysis) and has to measure segment angles relative to
    vertical, not anatomical joint angles. I have found one possible
    inclinometer that might work but they seem relatively expensive:

    N4 Inclinometers from Rieker Inc.($125.50 each).

    Does anyone else know of other possibilities that might be less
    expensive?
    Accuracy to the nearest degree would be acceptable.

    thanks,
    df
