User Tip: The Consequence of RF Sensor Rotation

The right forelimb sensor includes a gyroscope that measures angular velocity of the distal limb. This signal allows for the determination of when the right forelimb is on the ground versus in swing.  If the sensor rotates off of the dorsal midline, the signal will change, creating problems with the correct determination of right forelimb stance. The ultimate consequence of rotation depends on how much rotation occurs.  If the sensor rotates to the lateral or medial aspect of the limb, then the signal will be reduced, and likely no analysis will be produced.  If an analysis is produced,...
