Summary

Hypotheses:

• A wearable sensor system can be used to accurately monitor three common gait parameters: gait speed, stride length, and torso motion.

Objectives:

This study will examine the feasibility of using wearable sensors to monitor common gait parameters: gait speed, stride length and torso motion. A wearable sensor system of 8 commercially available inertial measurement units (IMU) will be composed. These sensors will work in unison to monitor the gait parameters.

Technical Objectives

* Gather information on commercially available IMUs
* Use computer software to monitor and record data from IMUs
* Develop an algorithm that can monitor volunteer gait speed, stride length and torso motion
* Develop a graphical algorithm that compares healthy patient data to potential mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI ) candidates
* Determine if there is a potential for mTBI determination using the wearable sensors
* Accurately validate the wearable sensor system to the gait parameters measured using a Vicon motion analysis system
