Abstract

In lower limb rehabilitation therapies, gait monitoring is an interesting source of information for the therapist, as it allows to personalise the therapy to the particular needs of each patient. However, most devices proposed in the literature are based on invasive solutions that hamper the motion of the patient. Integrating sensors in assistive devices such as crutches allow to solve this issue. This way, in this work a novel algorithm is proposed, which allows to estimate the anteroposterior motion of the crutch, using a force sensor, an inclinometer and a gyroscope. This estimation can be used to define indicators that can be used to evaluate patient status, being an important source of information for the therapist.
