Design and development of wearable automated cerebral palsy measurement system

Assessment of Cerebral Palsy generally utilized 3-Dimensional Gait Analysis (3DGA) to determine gait deviations. Such analyses require dedicated laboratory setup which is not easily accessible, and portable. This project proposes a wearable system to provide such analysis without requiring a dedicated 3D gait laboratory and will enable analyses to be performed in daily life. The system composed of wireless wearable instrumentations that are attached to the subject, and computer-based analysis system to provide real-time gait assessments. Preliminary results obtained by developed systems have shown promising outcomes for application in gait analysis.
