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

IMU quaternions are converted to Euler angles, and the trunk side and forward angles are directly from the trunk Euler angles. Knee flexion is computed by comparing converting the difference between shank and thigh quaternions to Euler angles.

Calibration Process:

The participant stands vertically upright and still when the trial starts. No other calibration is needed.

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”
