Abstract

Wearable measuring system has major effects onbiomechanics of human movements especially in daily activitiesin order to monitor and analyze the human movements to achievethe most important kinematics parameters. In the recent decade,inertial sensors were utilized by researchers in order todeveloping wearable system for instrumentation of humanmovements. In this study, Sharif-Human MovementInstrumentation System (SHARIF-HMIS) was designed andmanufactured. The system consists of inertial measurement units(IMUs), stretchable clothing and data logger. The IMU sensorsare installed on the human body. The system can be used at homeand also industrial environments. The main features of thissystem are: low cost, low weight, saving data for ten hours andbeing wearable. Furthermore, the software was designed for data acquisition of the IMUs.
