A Review of Human Motion Monitoring Methods using Wearable Sensors

Abstract

Human motion monitoring with wearable devices has become a hot research topic in the field of smart wearable devices. In this paper, the principles and historical development of human motion monitoring with wearable devices are analyzed and reviewed, respectively. Specifically, the current situation of human motion monitoring with wearable devices based on acceleration sensors is analyzed first. Then the existing problems and the future developing trends of research on human motion monitoring methods are summarized. Finally, the prospects of the research on of human motion monitoring method with wearable devices are discussed.
