Type of Wearable Sensor Technology and Sensor Placement * | Accelerometer/IMU on lower limb beneath the knee (11), accelerometer/IMU embedded in helmet or placed on the head (10), accelerometer/IMU multiple body segments—trunk, pelvis, body suit (9), insole force sensors (4), not given (1) |
Additional Technology for Validation * | Force plate/instrumented treadmill (15), camera/video recordings (14), GPS enabled watch (1), handheld dynamometer (1), Vertec Jump Trainer (1), photo-electric timing system (1) |
* Several studies have split origin between two countries and have utilized more than one type of wearable sensor and/or additional technology; thus, numbers may sum up to <34.
