Abstract

Human movement analysis is a research field with clinical and biometrics application. It has been shown useful in the objective measurement of gait, balance, falls risk assessment and mobility monitoring.

Running and/or walking are also integral activities to most athletic disciplines. From a technological point of view, biometric walk-run recognition can be categorized into three approaches: machine vision based, floor sensor based and wearable sensor based.

In this paper the accelerometer-based walk-run and shot measuring system is described. The results can be used for medical and sport purposes and also for biometric identification.

The electronic system and results of measurement walk-run under laboratory conditions have been presented.
