Falls are a prevalent problem in actual society. Some falls result in injuries and the cost associated with their treatment is high. This is a complex problem that requires several steps in order to be tackled. Firstly, it is crucial to develop strategies that recognize the locomotion mode, indicating the state of the subject in various situations. This article aims to develop a strategy capable of...
A Matlab Graphical User Interface (GUI) to help monitor the human gait in real time, and to enable to better understand the information of the used Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) system is here presented. The interface not only improved the speed of data processing, but also facilitated the interaction between the user and the system, providing a clearer change of variables and information exchange...
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) represents a very relevant area of study since it is of great interest to monitor not only people in need of treatment or rehabilitation, but also healthy and elderly people. One of the main necessities is to monitor the human gait. However, there are still some open issues to be addressed. Namely, the literature shows that there are differences between indoor and outdoor...
Gait analysis systems are monitoring systems that establish a symbiosis relationship with Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) environments. Human locomotion analysis has a very important role always aiming at improving the quality of life both for individuals needing treatment or rehabilitation, as well as for healthy and elderly people. In fact, a deep and detailed knowledge about gait characteristics...
