Dear Biomech List Members
A computer scientist at my University has suggested using Fast Fourier
Transform (FFT) or Fractals as a way to compare the movement of the ankle
in the sagittal plane before and after an intervention. The quality we
are interested in assessing is if the intervention changes the
"smoothness" of the movement. A literature search yielded no hits on
point for either FFT or Fractals. Does anyone have any experience with
using either of these functions to analyze movement?
As usual a summary of replys will be posted to the list.
