The goal of this project is to use MEMS Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) to capture the
gait parameters to analyze gait in the lower limb amputees. IMUs normally have three-axis
accelerometer and three-axis gyroscope. Data directly obtained by neither gyroscope nor accelerometer cannot be used to characterize the motion produced during the gait. But, combining
both of these signals using advanced techniques called sensor fusion algorithms, an accurate
measure of gait parameters can be obtained. IMUs enable us to collect data without cameras,
so this system can be used anywhere to measure biomechanics of a patient.
