Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review examines how wearable inertial measurement units (IMUs) are used to assess the quality of lower limb exercises, highlighting that traditional assessment methods like motion capture, depth cameras, professional visual analysis, and self-assessment all have limitations.
  • The review analyzed 47 studies from recent years, primarily focusing on validating IMU measurements and exercise classification, with most studies being high quality; however, it notes a lack of user testing and clinical trials in this research area.
  • Overall, research on wearable IMUs for lower limb exercise analysis is growing quickly, but there is still a need for studies evaluating user experience and clinical applications to establish their effectiveness beyond validation and classification tasks.
