Dear all,
We are interested in purchasing triaxial accelerometers that we would use
for various applications in analyzing joint kinematics and dynamics. Our
applications concern the spine (cervical and lumbar kinematics in vivo),
the wrist and shoulder joint complexes. Moreover we would use them to
validate other instruments, in particular commercial and homemade
electrogoniometers.
Our requests to the biomechanics community are:
1. Has somebody experience with such devices in fields similar to ours that
he would share with us?
2. What kind of accelerometers are used? What are their specifications?
3. What kind of problems are encountered when using accelerometers in
motion analysis (such as inertia,...)?
One of the options would be the 3DM sensor (MicroStrain Inc., Burlington,
VT). Does anyone know about these sensors or has anyone used them? Is this
device valuable?
We thank all of you in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Veronique Feipel, PhD, Patrick Salvia, Marcel Rooze, MD PhD
