Abstract:

Wearable Ambulatory Monitor (WAM) is a portable electronic device that monitor the body's function. WAM is used daily and has high potential for home rehabilitation. However, it is limited by its high cost. The arrival of smartphones provides an alternative for motion tracking as they have a number of motion sensors. However, most smartphone applications only use them to detect general movement and not precise motion. A Complementary Feedback Filter (CFF) is proposed and developed to fuse readings from the smartphone's noisy motion sensors in order to get accurate orientation of body segments. The experimental results have shown that movement orientation accuracy obtained from applying CFF on smartphone sensors is comparable to XSENS Awinda, a commercial motion tracking system. The combination of the proposed CFF and the smartphone's motion sensors are then applied to RehabPartner, a motion tracking application for the elderly to do rehabilitation exercises at home.
