  4. Abstract:
  5. Vibration measurement is an important tool in many research fields; there are several methods for measuring vibration of a system. In conventional methods accelerometers are fixed to the body, so there is a systemic error due to fixing an external object to the body surface that interferes with the true vibration of the body. We have proposed image processing as a new method to record and determine the frequency response of human body. This method provides vibration measuring without using contacting sensors. Moreover the main advantage is its lower noise sensitivity in comparison to accelerometers. Further more another important point is the fact that all devices used in our developed measurement system are usually available in the biomechanics laboratory where a Gait system is functioning. This gives the opportunity for such laboratory to add vibration measurement to its capabilities I without much excessive costs. Copyright © 2005 by ASME
