The use of inertial sensors system for human motion analysis
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this article is to review systematically and appraise critically the literature surrounding the research, comparing inertial sensors with any kind of gold standard; this gold standard has to be a tool for measuring human movement (e.g. electrogoniometry, optoelectronic systems, electromagnetic systems, etc.). METHOD: A MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PEDRo and SCOPUS search of published English language articles was conducted, which focused on articles that compared inertial sensors to any kind of gold standard (e.g. electrogoniometry, optoelectronic systems, electromagnetic systems, etc.), from 2000 to 2010. Two independent reviewers completed the study selection, quality appraisal and data extraction. The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme Español tool was used to assess study quality, and a reliability comparison between the systems was made. RESULTS: Fourteen out of 242 articles were reviewed, which displayed a similar threat to validity, relating to sample selection and operator blinding. Other study limitations are discussed. A comparison between the different systems showed good agreement across a range of tasks and anatomical regions. CONCLUSIONS: This review concludes that inertial sensors can offer an accurate and reliable method to study human motion, but the degree of accuracy and reliability is site and task specific.

The other systematic review published in 2018 focused only on the upper limb and provided scarce details regarding task complexity.
“The other systematic review, published in 2018, focused only on the upper limb and provided only scarce details regarding the complexity of the tasks evaluated, a problem highlighted by the first systematic review as being one of the most challenging aspects for clinical evaluation.”

The present review's results are opposite to the previous systematic review's finding that upper limb joints had better results than lower limb joints.
“This is opposite to our results.”

The increasing number of studies in recent years that used complex movements to assess M/IMU validity and the focus on the upper limb joint partially explain the different conclusions between the two previous systematic reviews and the present work.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
