Study for medical gait analysis using radar
2018/10/15
The human gait is an everyday and at the same time complex motion sequence, which requires the interaction of the nervous system as well as the supporting and locomotor apparatus. If gait disorders occur, they can be a sign of various muscular, neurological or orthopedic diseases. The aim of medical gait analysis is to support doctors and physiotherapists in diagnosis and rehabilitation, respectively, and thus ensure the best possible treatment.
In this study, the effectiveness of radar sensors for medical gait analysis is to be investigated. Previous research results prove the applicability of radar sensors for human motion analysis. With the help of the motion capture system, which is well established in medical gait analysis, gait parameters determined by the radar are to be validated.
Procedure of the study
Period of the study: 13.11.-20.11.2018. The date can be arranged via the contact below.
Description of the experiment: The test person must walk several times on a treadmill for up to 5 minutes at different speeds, while a motion capture system (consisting of infrared cameras and force sensors) and a radar device record the movement simultaneously. A detailed description of the experiment can be found here (opens in new tab) .
Location of the experiment: Gait Lab of the Institute of Sport Science, S1|15 019
Duration of the experiment: 2 hours
Requirements for participation:There should be no known gait disorders (including sports injuries, congenital gait disorders, etc.), age between 18 and 70 years.
Compensation: None
Data protection: Personal data is collected. The data will be stored in accordance with the following privacy statement (opens in new tab) and published in scientific journals.
