Inertial Sensors: Accelerometer and Gyroscope

This lecture covers the use of inertial sensors, specifically accelerometers and gyroscopes, for spatio-temporal gait analysis. It discusses the principles behind these sensors, their applications in measuring locomotion, and examples of data analysis using smartphone accelerometer data. The lecture also explores the need for accurate wearable systems in biomechanics, such as smart garments and mobile applications, and presents case studies on cadence and angular velocity measurements in different scenarios.
