Zeroing the Sensor Prior to Data Collection
Prior to collecting data, you must zero out the iPecs Lab sensor
with each new test subject. There are two methods for zeroing
out an iPecs Lab sensor. Both methods will achieve similar results,
but it is important to select one method and use it consistently.
Switching back and forth between methods will result in inconsis-
tent protocols and data.
Method 1 – Static Zeroing (weighted)
Zeroing out the unit once it is installed on the prosthesis (while the
test subject is
not wearing their prosthetic limb).
STEP 1 Stand the prosthesis vertically on a level surface, it cannot
be leaning or on its side (this method may not be ideal for
above-knee prosthetic limbs.)
STEP 2 Zero out the sensor using the iPecs Lab software.
STEP 3 The test subject can now don their prosthesis.
Method 2 – Dynamic Zeroing (unweighted)
Lifting the leg off of the ground vertically (test subject wearing
their prosthetic limb).
STEP 1
Instruct the test subject to stand on level surface.
STEP 2 Have the test subject lift their prosthetic limb vertically,
just enough to unweight it (it is important that they keep
the leg in a vertical position when unweighting it).
STEP 3 Zero out the sensor using the iPecs Lab software.
STEP 4 The test subject can now lower their leg to the ground.
