POET Project, Posture measurement<br />
The aim of this study is to develop a clinician and patient friendly measurement device that<br />
measures posture of post-stroke patients in a clinical environment. The final product will be<br />
portable, easy and convenient to use, and suitable for a wide range of patient. Inertial sensors<br />
will measure orientation of the head, trunk and pelvis in three dimensions, while a lightweight<br />
force plate will measure weight distribution through the buttocks and feet in sitting and<br />
standing. Pattern analysis techniques will be used to present results that can be used<br />
immediately for clinical decision making.<br />
