Motion is key to health and wellbeing, something we are particularly aware of in times of lockdowns and restrictions on movement. Considering the motion of humans and animals as a biomarker of the performance of the neuro-musculoskeletal system, its analysis covers a large array of research fields, such as sports, equine science and clinical applications, but also innovative methods and workplace analysis. In this Special Issue of Sensors, we focused on human and animal motion-tracking using inertial sensors. Ten research and two review papers, mainly on human movement, but also on the locomotion of the horse, were selected. The selection of articles in this Special Issue aims to display current innovative approaches exploring hardware and software solutions deriving from inertial sensors related to motion capture and analysis. The selected sample shows that the versatility and pervasiveness of inertial sensors has great potential for the years to come, as, for now, limitations and room for improvement still remain.
运动是健康和幸福的关键，尤其是在封锁和限制行动的时期，我们更加意识到这一点。考虑到人类和动物的运动作为神经肌肉骨骼系统性能的生物标志物，其分析涵盖了许多研究领域，如运动、马科学和临床应用，以及创新方法和工作场所分析。在这个传感器专刊中，我们专注于使用惯性传感器进行人体和动物的运动跟踪。选择了十篇研究论文和两篇综述论文，主要是关于人体运动的，但也有关于马的运动的。本专刊中文章的选择旨在展示当前探索与运动捕捉和分析相关的惯性传感器的硬件和软件解决方案的创新方法。所选样本表明，惯性传感器的多功能性和普遍性在未来几年具有巨大的潜力，因为目前仍然存在限制和改进的空间。
