Some fields such as the Monitoring of Civil Engineering Structures, need very sensitive acceleration and inclination sensors with a high resolution at low accelerations (typically less than 1G) and moderate frequencies (typically less than 20 Hz) or very s ...
Deriaz O, Najafi B, Ballabeni P, Crettenand A, Gobelet C, Aminian K, Rizzoli R, Gremion G. Proximal tibia volumetric bone mineral density is correlated to the magnitude of local acceleration in male long-distance runners. J Appl Physiol 108: 852-857, 2010. ...
The importance of outcome evaluation of a medical treatment in orthopedics is currently recognized. In shoulder disease, a large variety of evaluation tools is employed to assess the results of the surgery. However, even if the majority of these evaluation ...
To evaluate whether an activity monitor based on body acceleration measurement can accurately assess the energy cost of the human locomotion, 12 subjects walked a combination of three different speeds (preferred speed+/-1 km/h) and seven slopes (-15 to + 1 ...
A displacement of a pedestrian is determined from his or her accelerations by detecting accelerations which is substantially non vertical, determining a characteristic feature in the detected accelerations correlated with a step frequency, determining the ...
Multiple motor function and strength assessment tools exist for the evaluation of neuromuscular diseases, but most do not directly assess functional ability in the patients' daily physical activity in their home environment. In this study our aim was to as ...
In orthopaedics, outcome evaluation is currently recognized as a major challenge to improve the knowledge both about injuries and treatments. For anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture, various evaluation tools are available for routine uses: clinical ex ...
A new method of monitoring physical activity that is able to detect walking upstairs using a miniature gyroscope attached to the shank is presented. Wavelet transformation, in conjunction with a simple kinematics model, was used to detect toe-off, heel-str ...
Introduction: A reliable measurement of the physical activity in everyday life should allow a better assessment of the utility and the relevance of a number of medical treatments. Continuous 24-h recordings of posture and motion can be generally useful in ...
A new system, Physilog, for ambulatory monitoring of movement is proposed and its applications in orthopaedic, physiology, angiology and quality of life are presented. Body accelerations were recorded by a portable measuring device. Significant parameters ...
