This paper deals with the experimental measurements, data filtering and theoretical representation of the angular position of a human leg in 3-D space during normal and pathological walking. The angular position of a human leg during walking in sagittal plane was measured by a new electrogoniometer made by a UK company named Penny & Giles. This system is a spatial mechanism made of a group oflinks which are coupled by proper angular sensor. This instrument enables an indirect evaluation of the angular position of a human leg in the 3-D space from knowledge ofthe system geometry and from the angular value readings. This instrument is light, small-sized technologically new and is easy to use. However, its dynamics features have not been analyzed in the literature.Therefore we decided to analyze the instrument in order to built a DWT (iscrete avelets Iransform) filter for filtering data recorded by a electrogoniometer Penny & Giles. We built filter corresponding to Daubechies wavelets, DAUB # 20. The DWT filter is sufficient for filtering high frequency noise which exists during experimental measurement ofthe angular position ofa human leg during normal and pathological gait.Filtering using Daubechies wavelets -DAUB # 20 is more efficient than commercial numerical filtering delivered by Penny & Giles company.
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.
