Abstract

TIn this paper, Hemiplegic patients have gait characteristics different from normal persons. This paper presents a posture measuring and display system reflecting their characteristics. Patients wear 3 sensor modules on thigh, calf and foot. To enhance measuring precision of each sensor module, 3D accelerometer and 3D gyroscope are combined. Gait posture is displayed in 3D by modeling thigh, calf and foot as connected 3D objects based on data of the sensor modules. For convenience in inspecting unusual gait posture of hemiplegic patients, any view angle of the 3D display can be selected. In addition, the current gait phase of RLA(Rancho Los Amigos) gait cycle is determined and displayed in real-time by utilizing the posture information, The phase sequence and duration of each phase can be used in evaluating gait quality of patients.

본 논문에서는 편마비 환자는 정상인과 다른 보행 특성을 가지므로 본 논문에서는 이들의 특성을 반영하여 보행자세를 측정하고 실시간 3차원 그래픽으로 보여주는 시스템을 개발하였다. 환자는 허벅지, 종아리 및 발에 각각 센서 모듈을 착용하며, 측정 정밀도를 높이기 위하여 각 모듈에는 3축 가속도 센서와 3축 자이로 센서를 조합하여 적용하였다. 보행자세 디스플레이를 위하여 센서 모듈들로부터 수신한 데이터를 활용하여 허벅지, 종아리 및 발을 3차원 모형으로 모델링하여 실시간으로 화면에 보여주도록 하였으며, 편마비 환자의 특이한 보행 자세를 분석하기에 편리하도록 사용자의 보는 각도를 임의로 변화시킬 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 측정된 자세 정보를 활용하여 RLA(Rancho Los Amigos) 보행 주기의 단계별 진행되는 과정을 실시간으로 판단하여 화면에 표시할 수 있도록 함으로써 진행 단계 및 단계별 소요시간을 통하여 보행의 특성을 평가할 수 있도록 하였다.
