Hemiplegic walking is the main symptom of hemiplegia and is the basis for judging the outcome or severity of hemiplegia. In this study, we developed a wearable measurement module for measuring the inertia signal generated during walking and evaluated the possibility of gait measurement as a basic study of the new hemiplegia diagnosis technology using wearable device. The developed measurement module is worn on the waist. It is equipped with 3-axis acceleration sensor and 3-axis angular velocity sensor and has the function to transmit and record data through wireless communication. As a result of measuring the gait signals using the developed measurement module, specific patterns are shown for each axis according to each step, and it is confirmed that gait signals can be distinguished intuitively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
