Algorithm for Monitoring the State ofthe Musculoskeletal System in Scoliosis

Abstract

In the work considers an algorithm for analyzing aperson's gait based on the accelerometer readings of mobiledevices. The proposed algorithm, in contrast to the previouslyknown ones, performs processing not in the frequency domain,but in the time domain, and makes it possible to estimate thedifference in the duration of the steps with the right and left legsof a person. The algorithm can be used to build a system for therehabilitation of patients with scoliosis. The following systemcomponents have been developed: data collection using a specialapplication on a mobile phone; their processing by thesubsequent algorithm.
