Inertial system used to analyze normal and pathological human gait

Human motion analysis is one of the research directions which shows an increased interest worldwide due to the complete information we can get on human walking, normal or pathological, in order to confirm or exclude a diagnosis or to monitor patients who are receiving motor recovery program. In accordance with these new requirements a number of facilities were developed that provide information about variables, parameters and determinants of human gait allowing a complete analysis of it, but most are dependent on laboratory use, so we designed a device that can be used both laboratory and ambulatory, with a high degree of portability due to its small size and autonomy of the battery for several hours.
