Abstract

The discrimination of postures and movements using a minimal set of uniaxial accelerometers was investigated. Postures and movements were distinguished on the basis of the high-pass filtered, rectified and low-pass filtered signal of one accelerometer. Postures were discriminated by combining the constant valued signals of the accelerometers, mounted on different segments of the body. One sensor mounted radially on the trunk and one mounted radially or tangentially on the upper leg and lying. Methods are proposed for the discrimination of different cyclical movements.
