Q

important acclerometer properties- sensitivity

A

sensitivty: how musch the output changes in relation to the input
-how well you can measure changes in movement (inversly realted to range)– higher g’s= lower sensitivity ‘ ideal to have 2 sensors to be able to get best of both worlds

Q

Tips when selecting an acclerometer

A

select a sensor (or settinfs within a unit) that offers the greatest sensitivity within a safe range for you movement/placement
also depends on your variable of interest (eg impact vs orientation)
always pitlot test and examine the data

Q

general recommenations when selcting an accelerometer

Study These Flashcards
A

+/- 2g- lower back during walking/activities of daily living
+/- 8g- lower limbs during walking/activies of daily living
+/-16-32g- lower limbs during running
+/- 100-200g- high impact activities (ballistic movements, falls, concussions)

22
Q

Gyroscopes

Study These Flashcards
A

-same principle as acclerometer but for rotation
Measure angular velocity (w)
-w= 0/t
-radians/second (or degrees/second)
-Linear velocity is proportional to the distance from the axis (v=wr)
-Angular velocity is independent of distance from the axis

23
Q

note on magnometers-hall effect

Study These Flashcards
A

basically, an electronic compass
magnometers work based on the hall effect
-voltage produced across an electrical conductor due to a perpendicular magnetic field
-uses earth’s magnetic field to measure heading
-outputs can be significantly distorted by other magnetic feilds, eletrical signals or devices.

24
Q

Linear acclerations and angular velocity outputs are often used for:

Study These Flashcards
A

-assessing overall amount of movment or type of activity
-determine timing of gait events
-segment motion, pelvic stability, or between limb asymmetry
-impact magnitudes (ACCEL- walking, running, concussions,ect)
also intergerated to linear and angular displacement to mesure: location or positon, segment or joint angles (kinesmatics)

25
Using acclerometers as tilit sensors
acclerometers can provide an excellent estimate of orientation -uses gravity and simple trig -works well when there is little to no movement computation: sin(0)= opp/hyp
26
sampling frequency (sampling rate)
the number of samples (measurements) taken in 1 second -1 Hz= 1 sample per second; 100Hz= 100 samples per second Depends on what you want to measure -lower sampling frequency (ie <50Hz) can work for activity monitors 0higher sampling frequencies are foten needed
27
Sampling to storage- sampling rate
sampling rate: number of data points collected per second data sotrage: higher frequencies= more data stoarge and battery usage physical ativity (30Hz; range 1-100); Gait (100Hz; range: 60-200+)
28
storage examples
accelerometer and gyroscope at 100Hz: 7 days Acclerometer at 100Hz: 17 days Acclerometer at 50 Hz: 34 days EACh ~1Gb
29
Nyquist sampling theorem
sampling should occur >2 times the frequency of the signal of interst- to get represnetaton of signal (although wont ve best unrless increase the sampling rate)
30
Dynamic system response
previous properties (eg sensitivity, ect) are more related to a static response How sensors react to dynamic changes in input is tied to: 1) the type of input: step, ramp, impulse, sinusoidal 2) the type of mechanical system: -Zero, first, second order -n+1 coefficients characterize the system
31
Dynamic system response input types:
these relate to changes in the input, where we can measure the time response of the systems (ie how quickly the system responds) step input, ramp input, impulse input, sinusoidal input
32
Dynamic system response input types: step input
sudden change in input that is held constant ie
33
Dynamic system response input types: ramp input
linear increase in input ie
34
Dynamic system response input types: impulse input
sudden spike in input ie
35
Dynamic system response input types: sinusoidal input
sine wave input ie
36
Zero order systmes
The output at a zero order system is proportional (1:1) to the input. -depends only on displacement and 1 constant K F(t)= k x(t) example: potentiometer- ie dimmer switch
37
First order systems
The output of a first order system depends on differntial equation -Depends only on displacement (x) and velocity (x') and 2 constants (c and K) f(t)= c x'(t) + k x(t) c= damping, viscosity, friction coefficeint experiences a time delay between input and output
38
second order systems
the output of a second order system depends on differential equation -Depends on displacement (x), velocity (x'), and acceleration (x'') and 3 constants (m-mass,c and k) F(t)= m x''(t) + c x'(t) + k x(t) involves oscillations related to: natrual frequency, damping ratio how system responds relaes to the relationship between the 3 constants
39
second order systems: natrual frequency
frequency the system would oscillate if there was no damping: wn (omega- dependent on mass and spring) wn= squrt(k/m) increase k- increase natural frequency (tigher= faster oscilation) increase m- decrease frequency (smaller mass= faster oscilation)
40
second order systems: damping ratio
Describes how oscilations decay after an input : z (zeta) z= c/ 2squrt(mk) z=0 - undamped system 1>z>0- underdamped z=1 - critically damped z>1 overdamped system
41
second order systems: undamped system
z=0 Nothing to damp out oscillations (c=0) and oscilations occur at wn
42
second order systems: underdamped system
1>z>0- underdamped some damping but not enough to eliminate all oscillations (fast response)
43
second order systems: optimally damping
z~0.7 does not eliminate all oscillation, but settles very quickly
44
second order systems: critically damped system
z=1 No overshoot or undershoot (damping just just enough to eliminate oscillations)
45
second order systems: overdamped system
z>1 no overshoot but reaches final value slower than critically damped
46
damping can be adjusted depending on what is most important in the system
-If overshoots cannot be tolerated: z= 1+ -If fast response time is desired, with small overshoot tolerated: z~0.7
47
Second order systems- example 1
underdamped suspension- will have large oscillations that take multiple cycles to settle (ie suspension too soft) Overdamped suspension will not give quickly (ie suspension too stiff)
48
second order systems- example 1: acclerometers
wn- built with very small masses and stiff springs (~5kHz+) z- Can very greatly, but optionally damped (0.707) generally best operating range While minor oscillations could occur due intrinsic properties, these are often more related to properties extrinsic to the sensor -sensor monting in unit (skin oscilating woth movement) -sensort attatchment to body/system -soft tissue artifact (be congnisant of location- try to attatch near bony landmark-used to go straight to done)
49
Filtering data
sensor outputs can be quite "messy" - ie oscilations -oscillations, sensor noise (ie random variations in outputs), ect -filtering the outputs can remove unwanted noise
50
low pass filter
-removes unwanted high freqeuncy components (lets the low pass signals pass)
51
High pass filter
removes unwanted low-frequency compoent (lets high frequency data pass)
