1.5 THE GYKO INERTIAL SYSTEM
Gyko is a new tool, developed by Microgate, which enables obtaining information on the kinematics
of any body segment while making a movement.
Gyko contains the latest generation components that are used for making accurate and repeatable
measurements of acceleration, angular velocity and magnetic field in three dimensions.
3D accelerometer, to measure the linear accelerations to which the device is subjected.
3D gyroscope, to measure the angular velocities of the device.
3D magnetometer, to measure the magnetic field to which the device is subjected.
Gyko is able to provide the measured data up to 1000 times per second guaranteeing an extremely
high temporal resolution of the data. The data can be transmitted to the PC via a Bluetooth
connection or be stored on a MicroSD card.
From the measured data, through advanced software algorithms, it is possible to describe the
kinematics of the body segment to which Gyko is fastened so as to provide the user with summary
information about the quality of the analyzed movement.
Gyko can be used in combination with the OptoGait systems or independently.
