Assessment of movements
Today many systems exists to assess gait related parameters in specialised gait labs. One of the challenges is to develop a on-body gait lab that can assess kinematic and kinetic parameters in daily life. In our research we are developing and validating such a mobility gait lab. In this presentation the various stages of development and application areas like rehabilitation after stroke, hip- and ankle fractures will be addressed.
