Multipurpose Sensor for Human Movement Analysis

Inertial sensors are nowadays commonly used in many applications including medical devices, consumer electronics, automotive etc. Thanks to this wide range of use, a development of micro electro mechanical sensors has significantly grown in past ten years. There are some devices on the market, that are designed for measuring of human body motion. Some of them can be used for research, allowing user to change settings of sensors or data transmission using their software development kits. But the aim of this project was to develop the data measurement unit and control every acquisition process inside, with possibility to extend the device in the future. Also, segments of this complex device can be used in other custom applications. Therefore, a multipurpose device for analysis of human body movement was developed.
