Relative Motion Analysis using Rotating Axes

Relative Motion Analysis using Rotating Axes

Consider a component AB undergoing a linear motion. Along with a linear motion, point B also rotates around point A. To comprehend this complex movement, position vectors for both points A and B are established using a stationary reference frame.
However, to express the relative position of point B relative to point A, an additional frame of reference, denoted as x'y', is necessary. This additional frame not only translates but also rotates relative to the fixed frame, making it...

Background:

Continuous inertial data collection requires advanced algorithms to interpret human movements, considering variations in speed and duration.
Occupational settings frequently involve high-flexion postures, necessitating accurate detection and measurement methods.

Purpose of the Study:

To create a sensor-based framework for identifying and quantifying high-flexion postures common in occupational environments.
To utilize inertial measurement unit (IMU) data for posture analysis.

Main Methods:

Joint angle estimations (ankle, knee, hip) from IMU data were normalized for time and scale.
A multi-dimensional Dynamic Time Warping (mDTW) algorithm was employed for posture classification.
A dataset from 50 participants was used for model development and validation.

Main Results:

The mDTW model achieved 82.3% accuracy on the testing set and 55.6% on the validation set, improving to 86% and 74.6% after imbalance adjustment.
Highest misclassifications were observed between squatting variations and stooping.
The model demonstrated robustness in identifying postures from participants not involved in its development.

Conclusions:

The developed mDTW model shows significant potential for accurately measuring postural adoption in occupational settings.
This sensor-based framework offers a viable solution for quantitative postural analysis in real-world applications.
