It is typically not possible to calculate a 3D trajectory using only IMU measurements. I suggest you read the "Can I measure position using an IMU?" FAQ on this page.

Thank you for your reply.

After reading the answer, I found that the IMU can give the motion trajectory under certain circumstances, such as gait tracking and oscillatory motion, so why can't the trajectory tracking be realized only under the condition of IMU? Could you give some hints or reasons to explain? Looking forward to your reply.

Because of the drift associated with double integration. You will find much better explanations and discussions of this if you search online.
