Abstract

Inertial measurement units are commonly used in motion analysis applications, such as sports training aid, gait analysis, medical diagnosis, or rehabilitation assistance. Linear acceleration and orientation obtained from sensor fusion are employed for the detection and classification of actions, as well as for measuring relevant parameters of the motion. Typically, in multi-sensor setups, a single model of the device is used. However, considering potential end-users, it could be beneficial to allow heterogeneous setups, particularly by including everyday-use devices with built-in inertial sensors, such as smartwatches. In this work, we perform experiments with several different sensors in order to analyze agreement in their measurements. Results indicate that devices of different models are not directly interchangeable, however, in some applications, heterogeneous setups may be viable.
