Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper presents the development of a wearable system for human motion monitoring based on an inertial measurement unit (IMU). The proposed device enables real-time acquisition of angular velocity, linear acceleration, and orientation parameters of a body segment. An experimental prototype was implemented using an IMU sensor, Arduino Nano, and a data recording module. Laboratory tests focused on dorsiflexion and plantarflexion movements of the ankle joint. The results demonstrate that the system can accurately capture motion parameters and reflect changes in the Pitch angle corresponding to these movements. The proposed approach can be applied in motion analysis and rehabilitation monitoring. Future work includes integration of EMG and force sensors to extend the system functionality.
