Inertial measurement unit-based pose estimation: Analyzing andreducing sensitivity to sensor placement and body measures

摘要

IntroductionInertial measurement units have been proposed for automated pose estimation and exercise monitoring in clinical settings. However, many existing methods assume an extensive calibration procedure, which may not be realizable in clinical practice. In this study, an inertial measurement unit-based pose estimation method using extended Kalman filter and kinematic chain modeling is adapted for lower body pose estimation during clinical mobility tests such as the single leg squat, and the sensitivity to parameter calibration is investigated.
