Prototype of multisignal wearable sensors for the characterisation of Movement Disorders

The characterisation of Movement Disorders using kinematics derived from optoelectronic motion tracking is often difficult due to the frequent unwanted movements by the patients that cover markers and produce abundant data loss. This paper presents the development and basic testing of an adhoc multisignal sensor that, besides kinematics also measures muscular activation. It could be of invaluable help in determining the status and clinical evolution of those patients.
