Abstract

The invention belongs to the wearable sensor field and discloses, in particular, a human body step length measuring method used on a wearable device and the measuring method thereof. The measuring method requires the use of two inertial sensor units to collect and store the acceleration and angular velocity data of a human body in the walking process, and then uses the corresponding algorithm to calculate the user's step length information. The method can be used to estimate the user's gait asymmetry. The two inertial sensors are placed on the user's two calves simply, conveniently and with skills. Therefore, the method can be used conveniently, is free of restrictions of locations, and is low in cost. The method is able to calculate the user's step lengths at high accuracy, boasts relatively high reliability and has good prospects for promotions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of wearable sensors, and in particular relates to a human body step length measurement method for wearable devices and a measurement device thereof. Background technique [0002] Gait parameters are physical parameters in the process of human walking, which can reflect human movement ability and have great application value. Therefore, many researchers are currently studying the measurement of gait parameters. Wearable sensors include inertial measurement units, ultrasonic sensors, miniature cameras, etc. Compared with equipment for measuring gait parameters in large laboratories such as optical motion capture systems, force plates, etc., they are small, cheap, and time-sensitive. , space limitation, easy promotion and other advantages are widely used in the field of gait parameter measurement. At present, many studies use wearable sensors placed on human legs, waist, wrist, chest and other parts to measure gait time...
