Lower extremity angle measurement with accelerometers-error and sensitivity analysis
1991
The use of accelerometers for angle assessment of the lower extremities is investigated. This method is evaluated by an error-and-sensitivity analysis using healthy subject data. Of three potential error sources (the reference system, the accelerometers, and the model assumptions) the last is found to be the most important. Model calculations based on data obtained by the Elite video motion analysis system showed the rigid-body assumption error to be dominant for high frequencies (>10 Hz), with vibrations in the order of 1 mm resulting in errors of one radial or more. For low frequencies ( >
