A prototype was realized to simultaneously measure the strains at multiple points of a shirt covering the thorax and upper limb. This paper describes preliminary experiments with machine learning techniques, employed to analyse the strain measures in order to reliably reconstruct upper-limb posture. The scope of the application is to detect execution, correctness and progress of physical exercises performed as part of neurological rehabilitation therapy","PeriodicalId":246227,"journal":{"name":"International Workshop on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks (BSN'06)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129566957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the heterogeneous nature of the sensors compounded by the mixture of signals across different sensor channels, this process can be practically difficult. The purpose of this paper is to describe the use of source separation for BSN based on independent component analysis (ICA). We demonstrate how this can be used in practical BSN experiments when the number of sensing channels is limited","PeriodicalId":246227,"journal":{"name":"International Workshop on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks (BSN'06)","volume":"2016 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132826488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
