A body-fixed-sensor-based analysis of power during sit-to-stand movements.
TLDR
The presented approach is relevant for monitoring fall risk and assessment of mobility in older people, and similar approaches for assessing power may be developed for other mobility related activities, such as stair walking, or sports related activities such as jumping.About:

Activity Recognition Using a Single Accelerometer Placed at the Wrist or Ankle
TL;DR: A classification algorithm using 13 features shows good classification into the four classes given the complexity of the activities in the original data set, and could be implemented in real time on mobile devices with only 4-s latency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensors-Based Wearable Systems for Monitoring of Human Movement and Falls
TL;DR: An overview of common ambulatory sensors is presented, followed by a summary of the developments in this field, with an emphasis on the clinical applications of falls detection, falls risk assessment, and energy expenditure.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Elderly’s Independent Living in Smart Homes: A Characterization of Activities and Sensing Infrastructure Survey to Facilitate Services Development
TL;DR: A classification of the main activities considered in smart home scenarios which are targeted to older people’s independent living, as well as their characterization and formalized context representation are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wearable inertial sensors for human movement analysis
TL;DR: A practical guide for advising clinicians on how inertial sensors can help them in their clinical practice and six main areas of application are analysed: gait analysis, stabilometry, instrumented clinical tests, upper body mobility assessment, daily-life activity monitoring and tremor assessment.

Evers,Andreas Keller,Andreas Keller,Claudine J. C. Lamoth,Andrea Pilotto,Lynn Rochester,Lynn Rochester,Gerhard Schmidt,Bastiaan R. Bloem,Walter Maetzler +20 more
TL;DR: Clinicians and researchers should consider disparities in the successful adaptation of the unsupervised assessment of mobility into clinical practice and clinical trials, and the multiple factors that contribute to them.

The Timed “Up & Go”: A Test of Basic Functional Mobility for Frail Elderly Persons
TL;DR: This study evaluated a modified, timed version of the “Get‐Up and Go” Test (Mathias et al, 1986) in 60 patients referred to a Geriatric Day Hospital and suggested that the timed “Up & Go’ test is a reliable and valid test for quantifying functional mobility that may also be useful in following clinical change over time.

Biomechanics and Motor Control of Human Movement
TL;DR: The Fourth Edition of Biomechanics as an Interdiscipline: A Review of the Fourth Edition focuses on biomechanical Electromyography, with a focus on the relationship between Electromyogram and Biomechinical Variables.

Strength, Power and Related Functional Ability of Healthy People Aged 65–89 Years
TL;DR: The decline of explosive power was faster than the decline of knee extensor strength in men, but not significantly so in women, and the differences in isometric strength and leg extensor power over the age range were equivalent to 'losses' of 1-2% per annum and approximately 3 1/2%, respectively.

Ambulatory system for human motion analysis using a kinematic sensor: monitoring of daily physical activity in the elderly
TL;DR: The ambulatory system showed a very high accuracy (> 99%) in identifying the 62 transfers or rolling out of bed, as well as 144 different posture changes to the back, ventral, right and left sides, in both first and second studies.

Clinical Measurement of Sit-to-Stand Performance in People With Balance Disorders: Validity of Data for the Five-Times-Sit-to-Stand Test

TL;DR: The FTSST displays discriminative and concurrent validity properties that make this test potentially useful in clinical decision making, although overall the ABC and the DGI are better than the FTS ST at discriminating between subjects with and subjects without balance disorders.
