Journal ArticleDOI
Activity identification using body-mounted sensors — a review of classification techniques
Stephen J. Preece,John Y. Goulermas,Laurence Kenney,Dave Howard,Kenneth Meijer,Robin H. Crompton +5 more
TL;DR: This article reviews the different techniques which have been used to classify normal activities and/or identify falls from body-worn sensor data and illustrates the variety of approaches which have previously been applied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing physical activity using wearable monitors: measures of physical activity.
TL;DR: The quantitative assessment of physical activity using wearable monitors is grounded in the measurement of energy expenditure and sensors and methods for quantitatively assessing physical activity should be validated in laboratory and free-living populations using criterion methods of calorimetry or doubly labeled water.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Walk detection and step counting on unconstrained smartphones
Agata Brajdic,Robert Harle +1 more
TL;DR: Of the six different placements, only the back trouser pocket is found to degrade the step counting performance significantly, resulting in undercounting for many algorithms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methods for gait event detection and analysis in ambulatory systems.
TL;DR: Various sensors and sensor combinations capable of analyzing gait in ambulatory settings are found, ranging form simple force based binary switches to complex setups involving multiple inertial sensors and advanced algorithms.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Full body gait analysis with Kinect
TL;DR: This work presents an accurate gait analysis system that is economical and non-intrusive, based on the Kinect sensor and thus can extract comprehensive gait information from all parts of the body, and suggests that the proposed technique can be used for continuous gait tracking at home.

A Physiological Profile Approach to Falls Risk Assessment and Prevention
TL;DR: The purpose of this perspective article is to describe the use of a physiological profile approach to falls risk assessment and prevention that has been developed by the Falls and Balance Research Group of the Prince of Wales Medical Research Institute, Sydney, Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accelerometer use in physical activity: best practices and research recommendations.
TL;DR: This paper summarizes the best practices and future research needs from five areas of accelerometers use: monitor selection, quality, and dependability; monitor use protocols; monitor calibration; analysis of accelerometer data; and integration with other data sources.

Position and orientation in space of bones during movement: experimental artefacts.
Aurelio Cappozzo,Aurelio Cappozzo,Fabio Catani,Alberto Leardini,Maria Grazia Benedetti,U. Della Croce +5 more
TL;DR: The experimental problems related to the reconstruction of the position and orientation of the lower limb bones in space during the execution of locomotion and physical exercises and inaccuracies associated with the relative movement between markers and underlying bone are analysed.

Assessment of spatio-temporal gait parameters from trunk accelerations during human walking
Wiebren Zijlstra,At L. Hof +1 more
TL;DR: The duration of subsequent stride cycles and left/right steps, and estimations of step length and walking speed can be obtained from lower trunk accelerations, which can be the basis for an analysis of other signals within the stride cycle.

Head stabilization during various locomotor tasks in humans. I. Normal subjects.
TL;DR: The study emphasizes the importance of head stabilization as part of the postural control system and described as a basis for inertial guidance.
