Abstract

Measurement of upper-limb movements is important in various domains. In this article, an upper-limb three-dimensional movement recording technique is proposed based on only two electromagnetic sensors. Two joints are considered with a total of seven degrees of freedom (DoF; three translations and four rotations). The chosen sequence of joint rotations is compliant with ISB recommendations: the shoulder is modelled with a ball and socket joint with three DoF and the elbow with a one DoF revolute joint. This article is focused on the procedure used to calibrate and sense the upper-limb movements from the raw data coming from the flock of birds sensors. The principle of the method is to define the centre of the wrist, elbow and shoulder joints in the frame of the adequate sensor. This operation is done by performing calibration gestures. Results are proposed and commented.
