Article Synopsis
- Inertial measurement units (IMUs) can gather extensive running biomechanics data, but their accuracy can be compromised by improper placement or movement during use.
- A study involving 74 participants tested the impact of misplacing an IMU 0.05 m away from a reference IMU located on the shank, pelvis, or sacrum, measuring how these deviations affect running data.
- Findings indicated that even small misplacements could cause significant errors in measurements such as peak forces and contact times, emphasizing the importance of correct IMU positioning for reliable biomechanics analysis.
