Towards remote monitoring of dynamic arm supports for individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy using 3D accelerometry

作者:

Highlights:

• Dynamic arm supports promote independence in users with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

• Accelerometry data during a device trial offers clear insight on usage, performance.

• In this study we use feature extraction and SVM classifiers with accelerometry data.

• We can identify use of a dynamic arm support and success of standardized movements.

• The proposed methods are crucial first steps towards remote monitoring of device use.
