GAIT ANALYSIS USING ARDUINO AND BLENDER INTEGRATION

ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING

Gait analysis is the systematic study of animal locomotion, more specifically the study of human motion, using the eye and the brain of observers, augmented by instrumentation for measuring body movements, body mechanics, and the activity of the muscles. Gait analysis is used to assess and treat individuals with conditions affecting their ability to walk. Motion capture refers to the process of capturing, processing and trans- lating real motions onto a 3D model. Not only in the movie and gaming industries, motion capture creates an indispensable realism of human and animal movement.. This project is intended to do the GAIT analysis of humans. GAIT analysis helps us to predict any problem related to our posture. In this project we will be using Arduino, arduino is an open-source hardware i.e single-board microcontroller which will be placed on the joints present in the Human body e.g. neck, elbow, shoulder etc. To simulate the movements of the Human body we will do the animations in Blender Software which is completely free of cost and open source 3D computer graphics software toolset .The major focus of this project is to make a low-cost system as this project is intended for Indian citizens who are more conscious of the monetary issues.
