Inertial measurement unit compared to an optical motion capturing system in post-stroke individuals with foot-drop syndrome

Conclusions. IMU-based reconstruction algorithms were effective in measuring ankle dorsiflexion with small biases and good ICCs in adults with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke presenting foot-drop. The precision obtained is sufficient to observe the fatigue influence on the dorsiflexion and therefore to use IMUs to adapt FES.
