TL;DR
It is shown that an energy expenditure method can be used to identify and separate dynamic activities, including changes in posture and ambulation, in a controlled environment.
Abstract
Triaxial accelerometers have been employed to monitor human movements in a variety of circumstances. It is necessary, however, to be able to extract useful information from the acceleration measurements. We show that we can, in a controlled environment, use an energy expenditure method to identify and separate dynamic activities, including changes in posture and ambulation.

A clinical scenario using the ambulatory gait monitor is described and it is hypothesised that it has benefit in identifying falls, objectively characterising gait and mobility patterns and in assessing treatment progress.
