Estimation of stride-by-stride spatial gait parameters using inertial measurement unit attached to the shank with inverted pendulum model

Abstract Inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based gait analysis systems have become popular in clinical environments because of their low cost and quantitative measurement capability. When a shank is selected as the IMU mounting position, an inverted pendulum model (IPM) can accurately estimate its spa...
