Running has a positive impact on human health and is an accessible sport for most people.
There is high demand for tracking running performance and progress for amateurs and …

From a research perspective, detailed knowledge about stride length (SL) is important for
coaches, clinicians and researchers because together with stride rate it determines the …

Wearable sensor technology already has a great impact on the endurance running
community. Smartwatches and heart rate monitors are heavily used to evaluate runners' …

An inertial measurement unit (IMU) is widely considered to be an economical alternative to
capture human motion in daily activities. Use of an IMU for clinical study, rehabilitation, and …

Researchers employ foot-mounted inertial measurement units (IMUs) to estimate the three-
dimensional trajectory of the feet as well as a rich array of gait parameters. However, the …

Abnormal running kinematics are associated with an increased incidence of lower extremity
injuries among runners. Accurate and unobtrusive running kinematic measurement plays an …

Background The popular protocol used to study running motion suffers from problems that
lead to a limited ability to generalize the obtained results. Inertial measurement units (IMU) …

Introduction. Spatiotemporal gait parameters, eg, gait stride length, are measurements that
are classically derived from instrumented gait analysis. Today, different solutions are …

Wearable sensors facilitate running kinematics analysis of joint kinematics in real running
environments. The use of a few sensors or, ideally, a single inertial measurement unit (IMU) …

Gait assessment is essential to understand injury prevention mechanisms during running,
where high-impact forces can lead to a range of injuries in the lower extremities. Information …
