An Approach to Analyze the Movements of the Arms while Walking using Wearable Wireless Devices
(2013) 35th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society p.3435-3438- Abstract
- Abstract—Rhythmic movement of the arms while walking is an important feature of human gait. In this paper, we present an approach to analyze the movements of the arms while walking by using three wearable wireless devices placed around the torso. One of the devices is transmitter placed at the back and the other two are symmetrically placed receivers that record the power variation due to movements of the arms while walking. We show that the power received by the receivers will have symmetrical variation if the arms’ swing is symmetrical. An analytical model has been used to calculate the position of the receivers. Full wave simulations on a walking phantom are done to confirm the results.
