This paper presents a wearable motion tracking system with recording and playback features. This system has been designed for gait analysis and interlimb coordination studies. It can be implemented to help reduce fall risk and to retrain gait in a rehabilitation setting. Our system consists of ten custom wearable straps, a receiver, and a central computer. Comparing with similar existing solutions, the proposed system is affordable and convenient, which can be used in both indoor and outdoor settings. In the experiment, the system calculates five gait parameters and has the potential to identify deviant gait patterns. The system can track upper body parameters such as arm swing, which has potential in the study of pathological gaits and the coordination of the limbs.
本文提出了一种具有记录和回放功能的可穿戴运动跟踪系统。该系统专为步态分析和肢体间协调研究而设计。它可以帮助降低跌倒风险，并在康复环境中重新训练步态。我们的系统由十个定制的可穿戴带、一个接收器和一个中央计算机组成。与类似的现有解决方案相比，该系统价格实惠且方便，可在室内和室外环境中使用。在实验中，该系统计算五个步态参数，并有可能识别异常步态模式。该系统可以跟踪手臂摆动等上半身参数，这在病理步态和肢体协调的研究中有很大的潜力。
