Development of Motion Segmentation Method for Sit-to-Stand Motion Based on Pressure Distribution Measurement on the Body Environment Interface

Abstract

In this study，we focus on developing a sit-to-stand movement classification method using pressure sensors that are environment-installed．Sit-to-stand is a basic movement that is important for daily life， but can become difficult with age or certain health conditions．The movement has three phases that are difficult to distinguish visually，so the goal is to develop a computer-based automatic classification system．The method was tested on healthy individuals as a precursor to application in medical settings．
