摘要：
Disclosed embodiments relate to methods, apparatuses, and systems for characterizing gait. Specifically, disclosed embodiments are related methods, apparatuses, and systems for characterizing gait with wearable and wirelessly synchronized inertial measurement units. These include a method for gait characterization that comprises (a) detecting zero-velocity periods using two or more wearable and wirelessly synchronized movement monitoring devices including a triaxial accelerometer and a triaxial gyroscope and (b) calculating temporal measures of gait during walking by estimating the change in position and orientation during each step.
