| description | This paper offers a review of the implementation of current wearable sensing technologies in monitoring the movement and activity of patients suffering from movement disorders. Recent literature has focused on incorporating simple and reliable wearable technologies for the continuous and objective monitoring of patient movement during normal daily activities. However, the use of such wearable sensing technologies has yet to find its way to clinical practice. In the following, the basic elements of such monitoring systems and their applications are introduced, and a discussion regarding current clinical applications is presented. Keywords: Wearable sensors, Movement disorders, Activity monitoring |
