Drop Landing Right Leg
Measure and train knee flexion angle, trunk side angle, and trunk forward angle during single right leg drop landing.
Nodes Required: 5
Sensing (3):
shank: lateral, switch pointing up
thigh: lateral, switch pointing up
trunk: back, switch pointing up
Feedback (2):
min feedback: Node used to provide haptic feedback when the participant is below the minimum threshold set in the app configuration panel.
max feedback: Node used to provide haptic feedback when the participant exceeds the maximum threshold set in the app configuration panel.
Algorithm & Calibration
Algorithm Information
The raw quaternions from the IMU are converted to Euler angles, and the roll angle is extracted using well established mathematical principles. If you'd like to learn more about quaternion to Euler angles calculations, we suggest starting with this Wikipedia page: Conversion between quaternions and Euler angles
Calibration Process:
The participant should be standing vertically upright, No other initial static calibration is performed to compensate for misalignment with the segments.
Description of Data in Downloaded File
Calculated Fields
time (sec): time since trial start
Angle: angle being measured.
landphase: pre_land (before initial contact), land (after initial contact during land task), post_land (after land task is complete)
TSA (deg): trunk side angle (medial-lateral), positive is to the right
TFA (deg): trunk forward angle (anterior-posterior), positive is forward
KFA (deg): knee flexion angle for the right leg
KAA (deg): knee adduction angle for the right leg
min_threshold: The lower threshold set by the user in the App configuration Panel.
max_threshold: The upper threshold set by the user in the App configuration Panel.
min_feedback_state: feedback status for if the sensor has crossed the min angle threshold.
0 is “feedback off”
1 is “feedback on”
max_feedback_state: feedback status for if the sensor has crossed the max angle threshold.
0 is “feedback off”
1 is “feedback on”
