![]() Finally measurements were send to a Max/ MSP sonification engine. This software also logged measurements, had real-time visualisation capabilities and allowed remote control and monitoring over the network. I was involved in development of the first hardware prototypes which measured acceleration on the legs of the runner and the development of software to receive and handle these measurement on a tablet strapped to a backpack the runner was wearing. The schema to the right shows the concept. A system was invented in which musical bio-feedback was given on the measured impact. A lower repetitive impact is expected to reduce the chance on injuries common for runners. Then an intervention would slightly nudge these runner to a running style with lower impact. The idea behind the project was to first select runners with a high foot-fall impact. ![]() In the beginning of October 2022 the PhD defence of Rud Derie takes place so it is a good moment to look back to this collaboration between several branches of Ghent University: IPEM, movement and sports science and IDLab. ![]() I have been lucky to have been involved in an interdisciplinary research project around the low impact runner: a music based bio-feedback system to reduce tibial shock in over-ground running. ![]() Fig: schema of the low impact runner system.
