transfemoral amputees

Gait analysis of people with transfemoral amputation is essential to support the rehabilitation process. In particular, the kinematics of the body center of mass (bCoM), derived from the motion of segments’ centers of mass (sCoM), provide crucial information about patients’ locomotion. Magneto-Inertial Measurement Units (MIMUs) may be adopted to obtain this information in-the-field. However, MIMUs provide the 3D acceleration of the origin of the sensor’s frame.
