Human motion monitoring and analysis can be an essential part of a wide spectrum of applications, including physical rehabilitation among other potential areas of interest. Creating non-invasive systems for monitoring patients while performing rehabilitation exercises, to provide them with an objective feedback, is one of the current challenges. In this paper we present a wearable multi-sensor system for human motion monitoring, which has been developed for use in rehabilitation. It is composed of a number of small modules that embed high-precision accelerometers and wireless communications to transmit the information related to the body motion to an acquisition device. The results of a set of experiments we made to assess its performance in real-world setups demonstrate its usefulness in human motion acquisition and tracking, as required, for example, in activity recognition, physical/athletic performance evaluation and rehabilitation.
人体运动监测和分析可以是广泛应用的重要组成部分，包括物理康复等其他潜在的应用领域。为了在进行康复运动时为患者提供客观的反馈，开发非侵入式的系统来监测患者是当前的一个挑战。在本文中，我们提出了一种可用于康复的穿戴式多传感器人体运动监测系统。它由多个小模块组成，这些模块嵌入了高精度的加速度计和无线通信，以将与身体运动相关的信息传输到采集设备。我们进行了一组实验来评估其在实际设置中的性能，结果表明它在人体运动获取和跟踪方面非常有用，例如在活动识别、体育/运动表现评估和康复等方面。
