A bi-articular model for scapular-humeral rhythm reconstruction through data from wearable sensors
Patient-specific performance assessment of arm movements in daily life activities is fundamental for neurological rehabilitation therapy. In most applications, the shoulder movement is simplified through a socket-ball joint, neglecting the movement of the scapular-thoracic complex. This may lead to significant errors. We propose an innovative bi-articular model of the human shoulder for estimating the position of the hand in relation to the sternum. The model takes into account both the scapular-toracic and gleno-humeral movements and their ratio governed by the scapular-humeral rhythm, fusing the information of inertial and textile-based strain sensors

INTERACTION, Training and monitoring of daily-life physical interaction with the environment after stroke
The objective of the recently started EU project INTERACTION is to develop an unobtrusive and
modular system for monitoring the quality of daily-life activities of stroke subjects involving the upper
and lower limbs
