Navigation by Dead Reckoning and Local Cues [PDF]
, 2017 According to comprehensive theories of navigation, animals navigate by using two complementary strategies: (1) dead reckoning informs the subject in a continuous manner on its actual location with respect to an Earthbound or absolute coordinate system ...

Quantitative Assessment of Upper Limb Motion in Neurorehabilitation Utilizing Inertial Sensors [PDF]
, 2015 Two inertial sensor systems were developed for 3-D tracking of upper limb movement. One utilizes four sensors and a kinematic model to track the positions of all four upper limb segments/joints and the other uses one sensor and a dead reckoning algorithm
