摘要
Accelerometers have become increasingly integrated in the biomedical field, as they are highly portable and capable of objectively and reliably quantifying motion. Two specific applications for accelerometers are the quantification of gait and movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease and essential tremor. The evolution of accelerometers to their present status is discussed. Accelerometry is contrasted with more traditional means for accessing gait and movement disorders. Advances in the research validation of accelerometers for the characterization of gait and movement disorders, such as essential tremor and Parkinson's disease, are addressed. The review concludes with the advancement of three-dimensional (3D) wireless accelerometers and pertinent future implications.
