Wearable devices that are used in the healthcare environment to quantify disease progression.

Wearable Device	Body Location	Typical Use Case/Disease Condition	Captured Movement
Wearable Cutaneous Haptic Interface (WCHI) [40]	Finger	Parkinson’s Disease	Three degrees of freedom to measure disease conditions, such as tremor and bradykinesia.
Smart Electro-Clothing Systems (SeCSs) [41]	Heart	Health Monitoring	Surface electromyography (sEMG); HR, heart rate variability.
Xsens DOT [42]	All over the body	Healthcare, sports	Osteoarthritis
5DT data glove [43]	Fingers and wrist	Robust Hand Motion Tracking	Fibre optic sensors measure flexion and extension of the Interphalangeal (IP), metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints of the fingers and thumb, abduction and adduction, and the orientation (pitch and roll) of the user’s hand.
Neofect Raphael data glove [44]	Fingers, wrist and forearm	Poststroke patients	Accelerometer and bending sensors measuring flexion and extension of finger and thumb.
Stretchsense data glove [45]	Hand motion capture	Gaming, augmented and virtual reality domains, robotics and the biomedical industries.	Flexion, extension of fingers and thumb.
Flex Sensor (Data glove) [46]	Finger	Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Parkinson’s disease and other neurological conditions/rehabilitative requirements.	Flexion and extension of the (IP), (MCP) joints of the fingers and thumb and the abduction and adduction movements.
X-IST Data Glove [47]	Hand and fingers	Poststroke patients	Five bend sensors and five pressure sensors measure MCP, PIP finger and thumb movement.
MoCap Pro (Smart Glove) [48]	Hand and fingers	Stroke	Capture bend of each MCP and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint.
Textile-Based Wearable Gesture Sensing Device [49]	Elbow and knee	Musculoskeletal disorders	Flexion angle of elbow and knee movements
VICON system [50]	Shoulder and elbow	Musculoskeletal disorders	Humerothoracic, scapulothoracic joint angles and elbow kinematics.
