Wearable Sensors and Motion Analysis for Neurological Patient Support.

This work discusses the state of the art and challenges in using wearable sensors for the monitoring of neurological patients. The authors share their experience from their participation in numerous projects, ranging from drug trials to rehabilitation intervention assessment, and identify the obstacles in the way of the integrated adoption of wearable sensors in clinical and rehabilitation practices for neurological patients. Several highly promising developments are outlined and analyzed. It is considered that intelligent textiles are an attractive option, as they offer an esthetic outlook to and positive interaction with their users.
