  • Utilized inertial measurement units (IMUs) to capture shoulder movement data.
  • Evaluated the system on nine healthy subjects and nine frozen shoulder patients performing common shoulder tasks.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved an 87.11% F-score for shoulder task identification.
    • Attained an 83.23% F-score for sub-task segmentation.
    • Demonstrated a mean absolute time error of 427 milliseconds for sub-task segmentation.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed automated system effectively identifies shoulder tasks and segments sub-tasks with high accuracy.
    • This approach offers a feasible solution for reliable and objective frozen shoulder assessment in clinical settings.
    • The method has the potential to improve the evaluation process for clinical professionals.
