Concurrent Validity of a Tri-axial Accelerometer for Measures of Gait Variability
INTRODUCTION Accelerometers are becoming an increasingly important tool in the study of human movement. Their ease and affordability, combined with the potential to collect large amounts of continuous data outside the laboratory setting makes them excellent tools for gait analysis. Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of a single tri-axial accelerometer in measuring mean spatiotemporal p...
متن کاملStep Counts Using a Tri-axial Accelerometer during Activity
Physical activity has been associated with health improvements in a number of populations. Step counting is one of the most commonly used measures of physical activity [1]. Due to their small size and light weight, the use of wearable sensors for step counts has been investigated in many studies [2, 3] as they are suitable for home deployment. One of the main issues with step counts as a physic...
متن کاملPosture and Activity Detection Using a Tri-axial Accelerometer
Quantifying activity levels among healthy older adults and patients can provide objective information on sedentary behavior and physical function [1]. In order to accurately quantify activity in the free-living environment, a robust method for classifying posture and activity needs to be established. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to validate the identification of static postures and ...
متن کاملPosture Detection with waist-worn Accelerometer: An application to improve Freezing of Gait detection in Parkinson’s disease patients
Freezing of Gait (FoG) is one of the most disturbing symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Current algorithms that detect this symptom depend on frequency features extracted from wearable systems. These algorithms have only been evaluated under laboratory conditions and, in real life, they might present false positives, reducing the reliability of the algorithm. This paper presents the evaluati...
