Inertial sensors for the assessment and treatment of shoulder pain

Thesis

Subacromial shoulder pain is the third most common musculoskeletal complaint presenting to primary care. Despite the extensive amount of research carried out on the role of exercise-based rehabilitation, there remains uncertainty around the effectiveness of specific treatment strategies. Wearable sensors that enable practical monitoring of patient activity and objective measurement of movement could provide opportunities to address this problem. Magneto-inertial measurement units (MIMUs) o...
