Research Highlights

  • Dr. Villespin’s research focuses on various topics. However, his latest work focuses on gait analysis. The main objective was to compare infrared sensors with motion-capture sensors for gait analysis. The outcome of the study showed that although infrared sensors may be used for gait analysis, certain adjustments, such as the insertion of correctional formulas, are needed to align the data captured. Furthermore, this paves the way of the use of infrared sensors for other motion analysis in the local setting.
