Use of Head-Mounted Inertial Sensors for Mobility Tasks: Protocol for a Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Human activity recognition (HAR) is the use of technology to detect a person's movements. Sensors can be passive like cameras monitoring an area, or active like those attached to a person's watch. HAR is a burgeoning field whose uses span from personal health tracking to at-home physical degradation monitoring. The benefit of having sensors attached to a person for constant HAR tracking can be seen in the personal fitness field where people track their number of steps or distance ran. For older adults, HAR can be used in combination with mobility tasks like sit-to-stand, timed-up-and-go, and other tasks to monitor a person's ability to be self-sufficient and to live alone at home. Together, HAR and mobility tasks are an effective method to measure health, especially in o
