Table 2.

List of anatomical angles. The system uses a rigid-body skeletal model to convert the IMU measurements into joint and segment angles. Shoulder total flexion is a combination of shoulder flexion/extension and shoulder ad-/abduction. Thoracic angles are computed between the cervical vertebra and the thoracic vertebra. Lumbar angles are computed between the thoracic vertebra and pelvis.
