Review of Daily Physical Activity Monitoring System Based on Single Triaxial Accelerometer and Portable Data Measurement Unit

Main objective of this pilot study was to present a method to convenient monitoring of detailed ambulatory movements in daily life, by use of a portable measurement device employing single tri-axial accelerometer. In addition, the purpose of this review article is to provide researchers with a guide to understanding some commonly-used accelerometers in physical activity assessment. Specially, we implemented a small-size wearable data storing system in real time that we used Micro SD-Memory card for convenient and long period habitual physical activity monitoring during daily life. Activity recognition on these features was performed using Fuzzy c means classification algorithm recognized standing, sitting, lying, walking and running with 99.5% accuracy. This study was pilot test for our developed system’s feasibilities. Further application of the present technique may be helpful in the health promotion of both young and elderly.
