Comparison of IMU-Based Knee Kinematics with and without Harness Fixation against an Optical Marker-Based System by Jana G. Weber, Ariana Ortigas-Vásquez, Adrian Sauer, Ingrid Dupraz, Michael Utz, Allan Maas, Thomas M. Grupp

“…The negligible differences between harness-mounted IMUs and the optical system after REFRAME revealed that the IMU-based system was capable of capturing the same underlying motion pattern as the optical reference. In contrast, obvious differences between the skin-mounted IMUs and the optical reference indicated that the use of a harness led to fundamentally different joint motion being measured, even after accounting for reference frame misalignments. …”
