In general, the disclosure relates to a fall detection device that may be uniquely associated with a wearer. The fall detection device may predict and confirm a fall experienced by the wearer based on kinematic information of the wearer. In one example, the disclosure is directed to a device, comprising at least one kinematic sensor that measures kinematic information associated with a wearer of the device, the kinematic information including threshold kinematic information and fall event kinematic information, and a controller that analyzes the threshold kinematic information to determine whether a threshold indicative of a postural disturbance is satisfied, and determines whether a fall event is imminent based on the fall event kinematic information.... at least one kinematic sensor may include one or more of an accelerometer, a magnetometer, a pressure sensor, an altimeter, a velocity sensor, an angular velocity sensor or a gyroscope.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - kinematic%20sensor

Pour les mesures cliniques d'amplitude articulaire, deux types d'instruments sont utilisés. Les outils manuels sont chronologiquement les premiers et encore les plus largement répandus. Plus récemment, des capteurs cinématiques ont été développés pour s'adapter au caractère tridimensionnel de la plupart des mouvements humains.  1, fiche 1, Français, - capteur%20cin%C3%A9matique

Sensor cinemático. Los acelerómetros y giroscopios tienen características complementarias. Un acelerómetro proporciona tanto un derivado de velocidad angular y un ángulo de inclinación durante el reposo, mientras que un giroscopio calcula la derivada de un ángulo. La combinación de un giroscopio y de dos acelerómetros proporcionará un sensor cinemático útil para estimar la cinemática 2D (plano sagital o frontal) de un segmento del cuerpo.  2, fiche 1, Espagnol, - sensor%20cinem%C3%A1tico

The gyros are used to maintain the platform’s inertial orientation by sensing rotations of the platform caused by vehicle-rotation-induced friction at the gimbal pivot points ... One gyro - called the vertical gyro - is oriented so its input axes are aligned with the X and Y platform axes; its input axes provide IMU [Inertial Measurement Unit] platform roll and pitch stabilization. The second gyro is oriented so that one input axis lies along the platform’s Z axis and the other lies in the X-Y plane. This gyro - the azimuth gyro - provides platform yaw stabilization with the Z input axis, while the second input axis is used as a platform rate detector for built-in test equipment.  3, fiche 2, Anglais, - azimuth%20gyroscope

The sensors for angular velocity are vibrating gyroscopes(3 axes, to detect rotation and pitch/roll pendulations of the payload). An error signal is obtained differencing the signal from the azimuth gyroscope and a constant level settable from the telemetry, which controls the speed of rotation. Such error signal drives an analog PID [Proportional Integral Differential] circuit; the output of the PID is connected to the PWM [Pulse Width Modulation] driver supplying current to the pivot azimuth motors.  3, fiche 2, Anglais, - azimuth%20gyroscope

The single-axis inertial platform... The angular motions of the controlled member are sensed by the single-axis gyro. The output signal of the gyro is electronically processed and fed to the torque motor(TM) of the stable element and to the torque generator(TG) of the gyro. The problem is to determine how to do the electronic processing so that the controlled member maintains its orientation in spite of disturbances. The voltage across the output signal generator(SG) of the gyroscope is proportional to the integral of the angular velocity of the controlled member about the gyroscope's input axis. Consequently, this signal is fed to an amplifier and then to a motor, which drives the controlled member in the proper direction to null the ouptut of the gyroscope.  1, fiche 3, Anglais, - output%20signal%20generator

Two-degree-of-freedom, dry, tuned-gimbal gyroscope. This name is used to differentiate between this instrument and the floated gyro... In the static condition as the rotor is moved up and down, the motion is accommodated by the flexure pivots associated with the gimbal. This motion is resisted by the spring force of the flexure pivots. As the motor is brought up to velocity, a speed is reached at which the gimbal-flexure pivot combination is in resonance. At resonance no force about the sensitive axes(x, y) can be transmitted between the motor shaft and the rotor; hence, the two are decoupled.  2, fiche 4, Anglais, - flexure%20pivot

[...] au niveau de la conception de la structure mécanique d'un microrobot, il sera souvent préférable de remplacer un axe de rotation mettant des pièces mécaniques en mouvement relatif, qui risquent donc de rester «collées» entre elles et dont le mouvement pourra être difficilement contrôlable, par un pivot élastique.  1, fiche 4, Français, - pivot%20%C3%A9lastique

Liaisons pivot élastique. Les lames flexibles permettent de réaliser des mouvements de faible amplitude entre deux pièces. Pour réaliser un degré de liberté en rotation en utilisant l'élasticité, il est possible d'utiliser la flexion d'une lame seule [...]. Dans ce cas, les mouvements (en plus de la rotation) sont assez importants. Outre la rotation [thêta] cherchée, cette solution conduit à une déflexion [delta] qui dépend beaucoup du type d'effort appliqué.  2, fiche 4, Français, - pivot%20%C3%A9lastique

Due to its gyroscopic action, the spin axis of the rotor(gyroscope) tends to remain nonrotating with respect to inertial space. From the previous consideration, it can be stated that the gyroscopic output torque is the reaction torque, which is developed by the angular velocity of precession of the angular momentum vector H, and opposes the applied torque.  1, fiche 5, Anglais, - gyroscopic%20output%20torque
