Determination of Location and Orientation of 3-Axis Accelerometer for Detecting Gait phase, Duration and Speed of Human Motion for Development of Prosthetic Knee

摘要

The paper discusses results of experiments udcarried out at healthy individuals with an aim to establish udan in-house developed sensor mechanism using ADXL 330 udaccelerometer. The sensor was developed in view to measure udgait phases (heel strike & toe off), gait duration and gait udspeed. These findings were useful in understanding the udrange of normal gait though accelerometer and further used udfor control of indigenously developed artificial electronic udknee.
