Abstract :
A novel computational method is presented and the feasibility of accelerometer measurement to accurately determine gait stability by means of estimating the centre of gravity (COG) during locomotion is highlighted. The inverse problem theory and methods were used to compute COG more accurately because any a priori information of initial displacement data was unknown.
