Hi all
I need to measure the movement of body parts of handicap people. This means that I need to place sensors on people who can no perform large movements or able to have a "simple calibration" of the systems (that is to ask them to perform defined movements or ask them to stay in a specific pose.
Thanks for any help
Yaron
I found some kinds of very sensetive cameras used for that purpose.
Hi Yaron, I would look for mini gyroscope and accelerometers. There are a very large number of these devices available now, and it would be an ideal application for an "Arduino" type application.
See for example:

You maybe able to find some fitness devices that has these functions, but usually you do not get full access to the data from the devices themselves.
Yaron, I need to understand better what you want to measure before I can suggest/recommend a solution. The above two answers are indeed valuable and if they help to provide you with solution, great.
We have found that our use of the Bosch BNO 055 sensor allows for very sensitive calibrations of movement, using a three axis accelerometer, a three axis gyro and a three axis magnetometer. It is cost effective and we have used it with WIFI based transmission platforms to send data over long distances.
