New review paper about wearable inertial sensors

The review explores the advancements in wearable inertial sensors, providing a method for tracking motor activity in athletes, the general population, and more importantly, in clinical settings

This work presents a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art in this research domain, highlighting prevailing trends, identifying promising opportunities for future work, and offering guidelines to advance this field. Specifically, it focuses on IMU-based systems used over the past 20 years to assess upper limb kinematics in individuals with acquired neurological and neuromuscular diseases.

The technological characteristics of the sensors and the clinical contexts in which they have been applied are evaluated. Additionally, the biomechanical metrics considered in the reviewed studies are analyzed, with an emphasis on those with significant clinical relevance for assessing and evaluating the motor status of patients. This review aims to serve as a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians working to improve motor function assessment in patients with motor diseases.
