This paper offers a review of the implementation of current wearable sensing technologies in monitoring the movement and activity of patients suffering from movement disorders. Recent literature has focused on incorporating simple and reliable wearable technologies for the continuous and objective monitoring of patient movement during normal daily activities. However, the use of such wearable sensing technologies has yet to find its way to clinical practice. In the following, the basic elements of such monitoring systems and their applications are introduced, and a discussion regarding current clinical applications is presented.
本文回顾了当前可穿戴传感技术在监测运动障碍患者运动和活动中的应用。最近的文献主要集中于结合简单可靠的可穿戴技术,实现患者在日常活动中的连续、客观的运动监测。然而,此类可穿戴传感技术尚未在临床实践中得到广泛应用。下文将介绍此类监测系统的基本要素及其应用,并对当前的临床应用进行讨论。
