Abstract EN
Although various kinds of methodologies have been suggested to estimate individual muscular forces, many of them require a costly measurement system accompanied by complex preprocessing and postprocessing procedures.
In this research, a simple wearable sensor system was developed, combined with the inverse dynamics-based static optimization method.
The suggested method can be set up easily and can immediately convert motion information into muscular forces.
The proposed sensor system consisted of the four inertial measurement units (IMUs) and manually developed ground reaction force sensor to measure the joint angles and ground reaction forces, respectively.
To verify performance, the measured data was compared with that of the camera-based motion capture system and a force plate.
Based on the motion data, muscular efforts were estimated in the nine muscle groups in the lower extremity using the inverse dynamics-based static optimization.
The estimated muscular forces were qualitatively analyzed in the perspective of gait functions and compared with the electromyography signal.
