| Abstract: | After an incidence of stroke, the motor activity of the patient can be affected. This is perceivable by the inability to complete simple hand movements. By using wearables, which are suitable for ambulatory measurements, home revalidation becomes an option. By using a highly sampled IMU implemented in a wearable device, it becomes possible to detect specific vibrations corresponding to certain hand movements. This paper is a preliminary study focused on gesture recognition and presents the answer if the information obtained by a highly sampled IMU is adequate to classify different gestures made by human subjects. This is done using data analysis and machine learning to create a model capable of gesture recognition. The confusion matrices that are extracted are discussed and future recommendations are made. |
