Abstract

The kinematics of the body center of mass (bCoM) may provide crucial information supporting the rehabilitation process of people with transfemoral amputation. The use of magneto-inertial measurement units (MIMUs) is promising as it may allow inthe- field bCoM motion monitoring. Indeed, bCoM acceleration might be obtained by fusing the estimated accelerations of body segments’ centers of mass (sCoM), the formers being computed from the measured accelerations by segment-mounted MIMUs and the known relative position between each pair of MIMU and underlying sCoM. This paper investigates how erroneous identifications of MIMUs positions impact the accuracy of estimated 3D sCoM and bCoM accelerations in transfemoral amputee gait. Using an experimental design approach, 2^15 simulations of erroneous identifications of MIMUs positions (up to 0.02 m in each direction) were simulated over seven recorded gait cycles of one participant. MIMUs located on the trunk and sound lower limbs were shown to explain up to 77% of the variance in the accuracy of the estimated bCoM acceleration, presumably due to the higher mass and/or angular velocity of these segments during gait of lower-limb amputees. Therefore, a special attention should be paid when identifying the positions of MIMUs located on segments contributing the most to the investigated motion.
