Abstract
Advanced sensory systems address a number of major obstacles towards the provision for cost effective
and proactive rehabilitation. Many of these systems employ technologies such as high-speed video or
motion capture to generate quantitative measurements. However these solutions are accompanied by
some major limitations including extensive set-up and calibration, restriction to indoor use, high cost and
time consuming data analysis. Additionally many do not quantify improvement in a rigorous manner for
example gait analysis for 5 minutes as opposed to 24 hour ambulatory monitoring. This work addresses
these limitations using low cost, wearable wireless inertial measurement as a mobile and minimal infrastructure
alternative. In cooperation with healthcare professionals the goal is to design and implement a
reconfigurable and intelligent movement capture system. A key component of this work is an extensive
benchmark comparison with the 'gold standard' VICON motion capture system.
