Design of a Hybrid Portable System for Measuring the Position of the Spine, Pelvis and Center of Gravity of the Body
Original language description
Posture and postural stability are important means of assessing the physical condition of a human. The system proposed in this paper allows to measure spine parameters (mutual position of individual vertebrae), mutual position of the pelvis and chest in the lateral plane, center of pressure (COP) under both feet and center of gravity (COG). It uses reflective markers as well as green markers to mark selected anatomical points that are captured by Microsoft Kinect 2 located behind the subject and Microsoft Kinect located to the subject’s side. COP and COG are determined using two Nintendo Wii Balance Board, stabilometric platforms which are placed next to each other. A MATLAB GUI application was created to retrieve data from the sensors, determine positions of the individual anatomical points and angles between them and the position of COP and COG. The experimental verification of the system has shown that the measured values, together with the determined statistical variables such as 95% confidence ellipse, can be used to assess the posture and postural stability.
