Contraction of the hamstrings or gluteals muscles, using electrical stimulation, could improve the abnormal gait in neurological patients. The stimulation timing which follows the normal muscle activity is impractical to achieve using the traditional sensor (the footswitch). This study focuses on the development of a new sensor system for the detection of events in the gait cycle to trigger stimulation of hamstrings or gluteals muscles for preventing knee hyperextension into early stance or reducing the excessive hip flexion/adduction at heel strike. A sensor unit, consisting of four accelerometers,has been designed to determine the angles and linear accelerations of a segment without the need for integration. Tests have been carried out to...
