Recognition of elementary arm movements using orientation of a tri-axial accelerometer located near the wrist [PDF]

, 2014
In this paper we present a method for recognising three fundamental movements of the human arm (reach and retrieve, lift cup to mouth, rotation of the arm) by determining the orientation of a tri-axial accelerometer located near the wrist.
