本文提出了一种新的系统分析步行和跑步步态。该系统是基于一个网络的无线节点与各种类型的嵌入式传感器。它被设计成允许在户外环境中进行长期记录，并在2010年“苏丹马拉松沙漠马拉松”比赛中进行了测试。一名跑步者在比赛的六天里被安装了感觉网络。虽然技术问题限制了记录的数据量，但实验仍然是成功的：系统没有干扰跑步者，他以很高的排名完成了比赛，概念得到了验证，并获得了高质量的数据。应该注意的是，一些测量数据的丢失主要是由于节点和电池之间的电缆连接器出现问题。在本文中，我们描述的技术方面的系统开发，实验条件下，它被验证，并给出一些初步处理所获得的数据的例子。
This paper presents a new system for analysis of walking and running gaits. The system is based on a network of wireless nodes with various types of embedded sensors. It has been designed to allow long-term recording in outdoor environments and was tested during the 2010 "Sultan Marathon des Sables" desert race. A runner was fitted with the sensory network for six days of the competition. Although technical problems have limited the amount of data recorded, the experiment was nevertheless successful: the system did not interfere with the runner, who finished with a high ranking, the concept was validated and high quality data were acquired. It should be noted that the loss of some of the measurements was mainly due to problems with the cable connectors between the nodes and batteries. In this paper, we describe the technical aspects of the system developed, the experimental conditions under which it was validated, and give examples of the data obtained with some preliminary processing.
