Sensors for Gait Posture and Health Monitoring Volume 1

In recent years many technologies for gait and posture assessments have emerged. Wearable sensors active and passive in-house monitors and many combinations thereof all promise to provide accurate measures of physical activity gait and posture parameters. Motivated by market projections for wearable technologies and driven by recent technological innovations in wearable sensors (MEMs electronic textiles wireless communications etc.) wearable health/performance research is growing rapidly and has the potential to transform future healthcare from disease treatment to disease prevention. The objective of this Special Issue is to address and disseminate the latest gait posture and activity monitoring systems as well as various mathematical models/methods that characterize mobility functions. This Special Issue focuses on wearable monitoring systems and physical sensors and its mathematical models can be utilized in varied environments under varied conditions to monitor health and performance
