Validation of an imu suit for military-based movements

Participants’ kinematics were collected using two motion capture systems (Xsens (inertial), Vicon (optical)) while performing a series of occupationally-relevant military-based movements. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to detect variance within the three-dimensional marker trajectories between the motion capture systems. PC scores were strongly and significantly correlated between systems, and reconstructed movements are visually similar.
