Wearable sensing systems for biomechanical parameters monitoring

The use of wearable sensing systems in clinical rehabilitation has demonstrated high potential in improving the trainings effectiveness and reducing mobility recovery time. The monitoring of biomechanical parameters in upper limbs provides valuable supports to neurological patient's recovery trainings, where the self-awareness of human body must be restored. After preliminary activities of the author's group, which led to the GoldFinger prototype for HMI applications, the development of the sensing glove described in this paper has been carried out. Here, small dimensions and lightness are accompanied by flexibility of supports, reliable connectors and interfaces and low power consumption. (C) 2018 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd.
