Project Description

The goal of this project is to construct a completely portable and wearable sensor system that tracks human limb movements accurately and continuously records people's movements to capture abnormal neuromuscular control, biomechanical disorders, sports movements and injuries. The applications include elderly management, neurodegenerative disorder prediction, injury prevention, and movement analysis.
