Table 4.

Sensor-based features extracted from the CST Test.

Feature Sensor Task Description
SD Duration Accelerometer/Gyroscope Sit-to-Stand, Stand-to-Sit Standard deviation of the duration of each subtask of the test.
Duration
[s]
Accelerometer/Gyroscope Total, Sit-to-Stand, Stand-to-Sit Duration of each subtask of the test.
NJS
AP ML V
[m]
Accelerometer Sit-to-Stand, Stand-to-Sit Normalized Jerk Score of the acceleration (it is related with the smoothness of the movement):
NJS=T52TstartTend(a˙)2dt
where T is the duration (Tend-Tstart) of the considered sub-task and a is the acceleration measured in m/s2.
Range
AP ML V
[m/s2],
[°/s]
Accelerometer, Gyroscope Sit-to-Stand, Stand-to-Sit Range of the signal, during the considered sub-task of the test
RMS
AP, ML, V
[m/s2],
[°/s]
Accelerometer, Gyroscope Sit-to-Stand, Stand-to-Sit Root Mean Square (RMS) of the signal, s, during the considered sub-task of the test (it is a measure of dispersion):
RMS=1Ni=1N(si m)2
where N is the total number of points of the signal s, and m is the mean value mean(s)

ACRONYMS: AP: Antero-Posterior; ML: Medio-Lateral; NJS: Normalized Jerk Score; RMS: Root Mean Square; SD: Standard Deviation; V: Vertical.
