Abstract

Human motion analysis is widely used in many fields such as physical rehabilitation, athlete training, health status diagnosis and many others. Range of motion (ROM) is an important parameter to evaluate limb’s performance during activity of daily. Goniometer is a device often used by physiotherapist to evaluate and analyse the ROM of individual’s limb movement. The objective of this works is to develop a system to measure ROM using multiple Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) and transfer data to host computer by using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). A software program was develop using Phyton to visualize the motion. In this works, Intel CurieNano board, a six degree of freedom IMU that consist of an accelerometer and a gyroscope was used to calculate the ROM using sensor fusion algorithm. The data from accelerometer and gyroscope were fused using the complementary filter to get the ROM. The motion data was acquired by IMU sensor was sent to a custom program developed in Python through BLE. This custom program displayed the acquired data and visualized the motion in 3D visual model.
