Abstract(s)
A survey of wireless sensor network solutions for gait
assessment is presented including own developed solution gait
assessment based on smart insoles nodes ZigBee compatible
characterized by multichannel force measurement and MEMS
inertial measurement IMU. The system was developed to measure
ground reaction force, acceleration and direction of feet in order to
provide information to physiotherapists for an objective evaluation
of rehabilitation effectiveness. Based on acquired data from the
sensing channels a set of gait feature extraction such as walking
speed stride length, swing time are calculated as part of gait
analysis. Software for WSN node control, gait feature calculation
and primary analysis of rehabilitation effectiveness developed for
the physiotherapist was designed and implemented and preliminary
tests were carried out for normal and simulated anomalous gait.
