Abstract:
Wearable motion capture systems offer promising avenues for human lower limb rehabilitation.However, unstable data transmission and attitude estimation challenge their practical application.Aiming at this problem,a reliable method utilizing wearable inertial sensors for rehabilitation applications is innovatively proposed and implemented within our designed wearable motion capture system tailored to patients with impaired lower limbs.Stable data transmission process based on star-type bluetooth body sensor networks is designed by establishing a connection parameter setting method to guarantee reliable attitude estimation.Then, a robust attitude estimating method based on improved gradient descent method is proposed to promote the anti-interference capability of the algorithm by introducing trust coefficients.Lower limb motion capture experiments are conducted and results show that the proposed method enables the system to maintain a package loss rate of no more than 0.24% and has a maximum coefficient of variation of 5.9% during data transmission process.Attitude estimation reliability experiments reveal that the proposed algorithm substantially enhances anti-interference capabilities while preserving estimation accuracy. Compared to the state-of-the-art method, under acceleration shock, estimation errors decrease by up to 39.1%(roll), 42.9%(pitch), and20.2%(yaw). When exposed to external magnetic field interference, conventional estimation algorithms falter, whereas the proposed method maintains an average error within 2°. Significance analysis underscores the method’s distinctiveness at the 0.05% significance level (p<0.05). This study effectively bridges the gap between wearable inertial motion capture systems and their application in clinical lower limb rehabilitation. IEEE
