Abstract

Conventional motion analysis system to measure joint moment during sit to stand is impractical to be used in clinics. Inertial sensor-based motion analysis system has been proposed to improve usability. In this study, we propose a simple system that can predict joint moment, especially maximum joint moment, with a minimum number of an inertial sensor attached and force plate; shank and thigh angles were estimated with a kinematic model and an effective joint moment analysis period. Through a validation experiment with eight subjects, the estimated joint moments were comparable to be actual joint moment measured by the conventional system, also the previous study with the inertial system.
