    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Rehabilitation Technology
    • Human Activity Recognition

    Background:

    • Home-based physical therapy requires accurate monitoring of daily activities.
    • Existing activity recognition methods often lack qualitative assessment capabilities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a classification technique for recognizing daily base activities.
    • To enable qualitative assessment of patient improvement during physical therapy.

    Main Methods:

    • Estimating foot motion using a single inertial measurement unit.
    • Segmenting motion into distinct steps.
    • Classifying steps using template-matching for activities like walking and stair negotiation.

    Main Results:

    • High accuracy achieved in daily base activity recognition.
    • The method successfully distinguishes between walking, stairs up, and stairs down.
    • A novel similarity index provides a qualitative measure of activity matching.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed technique offers an accurate and qualitative approach to human activity recognition.
    • The similarity index can be a valuable tool for assessing patient progress in physical therapy.
    • This method enhances remote monitoring capabilities for rehabilitation.
