The main idea behind REMOT project is to develop a low cost wearable device suitable to provide accurate measurements of the kinematic of the human Gait and more in general of the human movement in a real life environment and in normotype condition.
According to the current state of the art, such measurements are already available but only in indoor laboratory environment or in outdoor normal life condition for a short lapse of time.
The goal of REMOT is to overcome all these limitations providing an innovative device to physiotherapists and sport trainers.
Physiotherapists and sports doctors are interested in knowing how the “range of movements” of the joints involved in the activity changes. By way of example, these activities can be: a walk, a run, a strength session in the gym, a shift of a worker who works outdoors with methodical and repetitive gestures.
So by measuring the position and variations in positions of the joints and the articular segments involved in the movements, we can relate the overall movement with efficiency, fatigue, muscle work, physiological functions (e.g. heart rate). This will facilitate the professional’s interpretation of the patient’s state of health or performance capacity.
