Measurement of Distance Traveled, Speed of
Locomotion, and Body Motion Analysis of a Person Under Free-living Condition
IDEEA can analyze locomotion in free-living conditions
with high accuracy, down to every steps made. The up-left graph shows the
instantaneous speed of a person while she was walking (first 3 segments) and
running (last 3 segments) on a track, at 100 meters each segment. The up-right
curve shows the cumulative distance traveled (locomotion). You can see the
highly accurate results measured by the IDEEA physical activity monitor.
Note that 100 m equals 0.062 mile, thus total
distance = .062 x 6 = 0.372 mile. Also note that the flat segments represent
resting periods between activities. The speed distribution (bottom left) was
selected for walk analysis, which has 3 distinctive distributions.
