Resumo(s)

The Timed-Up and Go test is a very used test in the physiotherapy area. For the measurement of the results of the test, we propose to use a smartphone with several embedded sensors, including accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope, a Bitalino device with the Electromyography (EMG) and Electrocardiography (ECG) sensors, and a second Bitalino device with a pressure sensor connected and positioned in the back of the chair. This architecture allows to capture several types of data from the sensors easily. In this paper, we present a structured method to implement the measurement of the different parameters involved in the Timed-up and Go test, for acquiring, processing and cleaning the collected measurements. This data will help in the classification of the test results initially, and later on to discover more complex patterns and related conditions, such as equilibrium changes, neurological pathologies, degenerative pathologies, lesions of lower limbs and chronic venous diseases.
