A step counting hill climbing algorithm [PDF]

Journal of Scheduling, 2016
This paper presents a new single-parameter local search heuristic named Step Counting Hill Climbing algorithm (SCHC). It is a very simple method in which the current cost serves as an acceptance bound for a number of consecutive steps.

Beyond timing and step counting in 360° turning-in-place assessment: a scoping review [PDF]

BioMedical Engineering OnLine
Background Turning in place is a challenging motor task and is used as a brief assessment test of lower limb function and dynamic balance. This review aims to examine how research of instrumented analysis of turning in place is implemented.

Step-Counting Accuracy of a Commercial Smartwatch in Mild-to-Moderate PD Patients and Effect of Spatiotemporal Gait Parameters, Laterality of Symptoms, Pharmacological State, and Clinical Variables. [PDF]

Sensors (Basel), 2022
Commercial smartwatches could be useful for step counting and monitoring ambulatory activity. However, in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients, an altered gait, pharmacological condition, and symptoms lateralization may affect their accuracy and potential ...

Design and Validation of a Minimal Complexity Algorithm for Stair Step Counting

Computers, 2020
Wearable sensors play a significant role for monitoring the functional ability of the elderly and in general, promoting active ageing. One of the relevant variables to be tracked is the number of stair steps (single stair steps) performed daily, which is

An Energy-Efficient Step-Counting Algorithm for Smartphones

The Computer Journal, 2020
Abstract Step counting is not only the key component of pedometers (which is a fundamental service on smartphones), but is also closely related to a range of applications, including motion monitoring, behavior recognition, indoor positioning and navigation.
