Abstract

In this study, we’ve equipped an ordinary chair with budget-friendly electronics capable of tracking the temporal distribution of weight changes. This electronic system is specifically crafted to analyze typical human motions, such as sitting down and standing up. These everyday movements greatly affect different motor skills, such as walking patterns, the likelihood of falling, and insights into sarcopenia. However, there’s no precise way to measure the quality of these actions, lacking an absolute standard. To tackle this issue, the developed analyzer incorporates variables like Smoothness and Percussion, aiming to enhance information and establish an objective metric in evaluating stand-up/sit-down actions. This approach not only introduces a more precise assessment but also provides clinicians with additional insights, making the evaluation more objective and informed.
