Kinematics tracking system and method

Abstract

A kinematics tracking system is described. The kinematics tracking system includes a first device configured to couple to a first segment of a musculoskeletal system and a second device configured to couple to a second segment of the musculoskeletal system. The kinematics tracking system further includes a computer configured to receive measurement data from the first device and the second device. The first device and the second device each have at least one inertial measurement unit (IMU) configured to measure orientation. The computer includes an application configured to support a registration process for the first and second devices. The application is configured to guide a user through at least one movement during the registration process.
