Abstract

In order to implement three-dimensional (3D) gait analysis, a complete human kinematic analysis using inertial sensors is not enough, and a mobile force plate system to measure ground reaction force (GRF) during successive gaits is necessary for inverse human dynamics analysis. In this paper, a complete 3D gait analysis based on a wireless measurement system is proposed. The measurement system named as M3D was developed by integrating a mobile force plate, 3D motion analysis units based on MEMS sensors and a wireless data logger. A stick-chain model was built to visually analyze 3D human gait and joint trajectories, and triaxial joint moments during gait can be calculated.
