Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects motor functions. Performing mobility exercises help patients slowing down the progression of the illness and improving symptoms of the disease. Assessment and evaluation of activities of mobility exercises are critical for any treatment program particularly in tele-rehabilitation system. The purpose of the current study is to design an affordable and accurate wearable device with inertial measurement units (IMUs) for mobility activity recognition in Parkinson’s patients. The optimum number and arrangement (i.e. configuration) were found to minimize the cost while maintaining a fair accuracy. The activity recognition was...
