Abstract

There is widespread and growing use of inertial measurement technology for human motion analysis in biomechanics and clinical research. Due to advancements in sensor miniaturization, inertial measurement units can be used to obtain a description of human body and joint kinematics both inside and outside the laboratory. While algorithms for data processing continue to improve, a lack of standard reporting guidelines compromises the interpretation and reproducibility of results, which hinders advances in research and development of measurement and intervention tools. To address this need, the International Society of Biomechanics approved our proposal to develop recommendations on the use of inertial measurement units for joint kinematics analysis. A collaborative effort that incorporated feedback from the biomechanics community has produced recommendations in five categories: sensor characteristics and calibration, experimental protocol, definition of a kinematic model and subject-specific calibration, analysis of joint kinematics, and quality assessment. We have avoided an overly prescriptive set of recommendations for algorithms and protocols, and instead offer reporting guidelines to facilitate reproducibility and comparability across studies. In addition to a conceptual framework and reporting guidelines, we provide a checklist to guide the design and review of research using inertial measurement units for joint kinematics.
