Abstract

An inherent aspect of the development of wearable and wireless systems has been the progressive evolution of the inertial measurement unit. Although when preliminarily recommended for quantifying the aspects of human movement, the inertial measurement was not sufficiently developed for application as a wearable and wireless system. With the steady advance from other industries accelerometers became feasible as wearable applications for monitoring activity status and other biomedical and rehabilitation themed scenarios. Eventually wearable accelerometer systems developed from data logger configurations to devices with local wireless connectivity.
