Wearable technology comprises miniaturized sensors (eg, accelerometers) worn on the
body and/or paired with mobile devices (eg, smart phones) allowing continuous patient …

Abstract Background Inertial measurement units (IMUs) offer the ability to measure walking
gait through a variety of biomechanical outcomes (eg, spatiotemporal, kinematics, other) …

Solutions are needed to satisfy care demands of older adults to live independently.
Wearable technology (wearables) is one approach that offers a viable means for ubiquitous …

INTRODUCTION: The increasing popularity of inertial sensors in clinical practice is not
supported by precise information on their reliability or guidelines for their use in …

Walking/gait quality is a useful clinical tool to assess general health and is now broadly
described as the sixth vital sign. This has been mediated by advances in sensing …

Mobility across people with a large range of age was evaluated, for the first time, by using an
instrumented timed up and go test (iTUG) based on signals acquired by a single wearable …

Spatio-temporal parameters of human gait, currently measured using different methods,
provide valuable information on health. Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) are one such …

The analysis of the body center of mass (BCoM) 3D kinematics provides insights on crucial
aspects of locomotion, especially in populations with gait impairment such as people with …

In this article, a self-contained procedure to estimate the vertical, medial-lateral, and anterior-
posterior displacement of a single sacrum-worn inertial measurement unit (IMU) is …

Background Functional range of motion is defined as the required range of motions for
individuals to maintain maximal independence, along with optimal conditions for activities of …
