Development and the application of a biofeedback system to improve elderly's gait ability

本研究的目的是开发一种可以测量和反馈步态中下肢运动的系统。为此，测试了测量的准确性、传感器装配对运动障碍的影响、下肢运动学对脚跟和脚趾的检测以及开发的系统对生物反馈的即时影响。实验结果表明，所开发的系统可以有效地改善步态能力和下肢运动。

The purposes of this study was to develop a system which can measure and feedback lower limb motion during gait. For this purposes, accuracy of the measurement, effect of motion obstruction by sensor fitting, detection of heel-on and toe-off from lower limb kinematics and immediate effects of biofeedback by the developed system were tested. As results of these tests, it was suggested that the developed system was available to improve gait ability and lower limb motion effectively.
