Tutorial EMBC 2015: “Movement analysis via wearable inertial sensors: state of the art and perspectives”
IUC-BOHNES Organizers: Andrea Cereatti, Valentina Camomilla Movement analysis via wearable inertial sensors: state of the art and perspectives Abstract: Quantitative human movement analysis provides information on functions of the locomotor sub-systems and on the overall strategy upon which motor activity is executed. These outcomes contribute to the understanding and quantification of subject-specific variables that can […]
