Abstract :
It is well known that walking the wrong way can damage your health. But few of us can grasp our own walking posture. This paper describes our work on realizing a simple system to encourage good walking. This research records three kinds of data: co-ordinate values of human body joints, electromyogram (EMG) signals, and foot pressure signals. By analyzing these data, it is possible to readily discern the movements of the human body and legs.
