A Review of Accelerometry-Based Wearable Motion Detectors for Physical Activity Monitoring
Characteristics of physical activity are indicative of one’s mobility level, latent chronic diseases and aging process. Accelerometers have been widely accepted as useful and practical sensors for wearable devices to measure and assess physical activity.

Six decades of animal accelerometry: trends, applications, and future directions [PDF]
The use of animal-borne devices to measure acceleration has yielded insights into animal locomotion, behaviour and energy expenditure. We present the first systematic review of accelerometry on animals, spanning 60 years, across ecology, biomechanics ...

Accelerometric Classification of Resting and Postural Tremor Amplitude
Clinical rating scales for tremors have significant limitations due to low resolution, high rater dependency, and lack of applicability in outpatient settings.

Membrane-Based Optomechanical Accelerometry
Optomechanical accelerometers promise quantum-limited readout, high detection bandwidth, self-calibration, and radiation pressure stabilization. We present a simple, scalable platform that enables these benefits with nano-$g$ sensitivity at acoustic frequencies, based on a pair of vertically integrated Si$_3$N$_4$ membranes with different stiffnesses ...

Relationship of the sacral slope with early gait derangements in robust older women
Background Trunk pelvic dissociation is fundamental to the compensatory mechanism for muscle weakness during body bending. We carried out an early investigation of gait changes in a sample of community-dwelling women ≥60 years without gait complaints ...

Use of a Collar-Mounted Triaxial Accelerometer to Predict Speed and Gait in Dogs
Accelerometry has been used to measure treatment efficacy in dogs with osteoarthritis, although interpretation is difficult. Simplification of the output into speed or gait categories could simplify interpretation.
