Abstract
Wearable technology and sensor fusion techniques have enabled the study of mobility in real-life conditions, with a specific focus on Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) due to their portability and versatility. A popular and powerful configuration proposed and validated in the literature (Salis, 2023) involves instrumenting the pelvis and feet with IMUs. This setup allows the capture of spatio-temporal parameters and center-of-mass movements but lacks information about joint angles. Consequently, the description of lower limb movements remains incomplete. To obtain a comprehensive understanding of joint angles and reconstruct lower limb kinematics, attaching an IMU to each segment forming the joint would be necessary.
However, this approach increases experimental complexity, making it impractical for real-life scenarios
