Abstract-Filtering the signal recorded by an accelerometer is essential to remove noise recorded by the sensor, but in order to calculate gait parameters properly, the choice of a suitable cutoff frequency of the filter is critical. This paper evaluates the influence of the filter cutoff frequency in the calculation of the parameters: vertical peak tibial acceleration and acceleration rate. The accelerometer signal filtering with low-pass filter with cutoff frequency below 50 Hz gives good results in the calculation of peak tibial acceleration but produces estimations of the acceleration rate below its real value.
Anàlisi de les prestacions dels mètodes clàssics de càlcul del Roughness i proposta d'un nou mètode adequat als senyals de soroll de motor. Desenvolupament d'un nou tipus de senyal amb interés en psicoacústica, la chirp d'exploració uniforme en l'escala Bark, que permet investigar els efectes de correlació entre bandes crítiques a l'hora de calcular els principals paràmetres psicoacústics.
