Dr. Reed Gurchiek, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Bioengineering, Clemson University, and an Early-stage Investigator, was a co-first author of a recent publication in the Journal of Biomechanics titled “International Society of Biomechanics recommendations on the definition, estimation, and reporting of joint kinematics in human motion analysis applications using wearable inertial measurement technology”. 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. In addition, a checklist to guide the design and review of research using inertial measurement units for joint kinematics is provided.
