A motion measurement system based on inertial measurement units (IMUs) has been
suggested as an alternative to contemporary video motion capture. This paper reports an …

Several investigations show that 5–28% of all snowboarding injuries relate to the ankle joint
complex. To reduce the risk of ankle injuries, the development of enhanced snowboard …

This study aims at determining the accuracy of a full body inertial measurement system in a
