Overview

Inertial sensors with their rapid development in the recent years have become useful tools in clinical practice. They can be used in a controlled laboratory environment as well as home environment because of their portability and small size. The aim of this manuscript was to summarise topical possibilities for the use of inertial sensors in clinical practice, including information about suitable activities that can be studied and methodological approaches for their quantification. The assessment of postural stability, instrumented versions of clinical walking tests, Timed Up and Go or Sit-to-Stand tests as well as physical activity monitoring are discussed in detail.

Keywords:

gait – accelerometer – inertial sensor – gyroscope – instrumented Timed Up and Go – instrumented Sit-to-stand
