| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to develop a wide range motion capture system capable of kinetic analysis. This study is based on the previous study (the development of a wide range motion capture system with MEMS inertia sensors) and consisted of three sub studies (1: Improvement of inertial measurement unit, 2: Estimation of body inertial properties and 3: Application to 100 m sprint running and evaluation of the method developed in the current study). It was revealed that ground reaction force can be estimated under small impact condition. Additionally, it was suggested that the estimation of COP was difficult because of some factors such as measurement error, and modeling error. The advantage of the method developed is that kinetic data can be obtained without additional sensors.
