Abstract
In this paper a new wearable locomotion data capture system for gait analysis is presented. The system under development intends to help clinicians to detect and identify mobility impairments as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of surgical or rehabilitation intervention. The proposed system allows the measurement of kinematic and biomechanical parameters in a practical and comfortable weft knitted legging, in which the sensors are incorporated.
