IMU-Based Systems for Upper-Limb Kinematic Analysis in Clinical Applications: A Systematic Review

Wearable inertial sensors have undergone great development, offering an easy approach to track physical activity for both athletes and the general public. Their immense potential to assess motion impairment in clinical practice is now fostering research on evaluation protocols, sensor configurations...

Their immense potential to assess motion impairment in clinical practice is now fostering research on evaluation protocols, sensor configurations, and significant metrics that could be helpful to evaluate the condition of patients with a motor disease. This systematic review provides a clear picture of the current state-of-art in this research area, outlining dominant trends, promising opportunities for future work, and providing some guidelines to pursue them. We review inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based systems that have been used to assess upper-limb kinematics in people with acquired neurological disease and neuromuscular disease, over the last 20 years. We evaluate the technological characteristics of the sensors and the clinical contexts in which they have been applied. Finally, we study the biomechanical metrics analyzed in the reviewed papers, focusing on those with clinical relevance to assess and evaluate the motor status of the patients.This work was supported by Fundació La Marató de TV3 under Grant 202023-32 and Grant 202023-31.Peer reviewedInstitute of Electrical and Electronics EngineersFundació La Marató de TV3Favata, Alessandra [0000-0003-0998-3739]Gallart-Agut, Roger [0000-0002-5819-9716]Pamies-Vila, Rosa [0000-0002-3814-9199]Torras, Carme [0000-0002-2933-398X]Font-Llagunes, Josep Maria [0000-0002-7192-2980]Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]202520252024info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/384866https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85200820045reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.

description Wearable inertial sensors have undergone great development, offering an easy approach to track physical activity for both athletes and the general public. Their immense potential to assess motion impairment in clinical practice is now fostering research on evaluation protocols, sensor configurations, and significant metrics that could be helpful to evaluate the condition of patients with a motor disease. This systematic review provides a clear picture of the current state-of-art in this research area, outlining dominant trends, promising opportunities for future work, and providing some guidelines to pursue them. We review inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based systems that have been used to assess upper-limb kinematics in people with acquired neurological disease and neuromuscular disease, over the last 20 years. We evaluate the technological characteristics of the sensors and the clinical contexts in which they have been applied.
