Abstract:
A simple wearable device for sit-to-stand timing detection was designed and constructed with rate gyroscopes and accelerometers and a dedicated adaptive algorithm. The method was validated by comparison with optoelectronic equipment. Results from the comparison showed a maximal error always lower than 2.5 x 10(-2) s for start and stop detection.
