Dear Colleagues,
I am in the process of purchasing a wireless motion analysis system which would provide an accurate estimation of the center of mass (COM) during gait along with obtaining other gait parameters such as joint angles.
I was wondering if any one has used a system to do the same? How many sensors would I need to get a maximum accuracy?
I would also appreciate any literature directly relating to this.
Some of the systems I was considering are:
1) The Biosyn FAB Inertial Sensor System
2) The Xsens MTw
3) The Shimmer Kinematic development kit
I have limited funding so a cost effective system will be preferred. The FAB system with 11 sensors will cost me approximately $20K with the foot insoles.
If the system has the ability to be synchronized with EMG, force plates etc that will be a bonus. I do plan to purchase a wireless EMG equipment as well.
I will post a summary of responses.
Thank you.
