Inertial measurement units may provide an accurate and reliable method of joint angle assessment. The objective of this study was to assess whether a single sensor with the application of machine learning algorithms could accurately measure hip and knee joint angle, and investigate the effect of inertial measurement unit orientation algorithms and person-specific variables on accuracy. METHODS: Fourteen healthy participants completed eight rehabilitation exercises with kinematic data captured by a 3D motion capture system, used as the reference standard, and a wearable inertial measurement unit. Joint angle was calculated from the single inertial measurement unit using four machine learning models, and was compared to the reference standard to evaluate accuracy. RESULTS: Average root-mean-squared error for the best performing algorithms across all exercises was 4.81° (SD = 1.89). The use of an inertial measurement unit orientation algorithm as a pre-processing step improved accuracy; however, the addition of person-specific variables increased error with average RMSE 4.99° (SD = 1.83°). CONCLUSIONS: Hip and knee joint angle can be measured with a good degree of accuracy from a single inertial measurement unit using machine learning. This offers the ability to monitor and record dynamic joint angle with a single sensor outside of the clinic. | Source Title: | JOURNAL OF REHABILITATION AND ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGIES ENGINEERING | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/239360 | ISSN: | 2055-6683 | DOI: | 10.1177/2055668319868544 |
