METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRACKING MOVEMENT OF A PERSON WITH WEARABLE SENSORS

Methods and systems for tracking movement of a person, including a method comprising: arranging a plurality of sensors of a motion tracking system on a body of the person; tracking movement of the person with the plurality of sensors at least while the person performs a movement; digitally estimating, with a computing device, a position of either the first joint or the sensor on the second body member; digitally computing an acceleration of the estimated position while movement of the person is tracked; digitally computing a first comparison between the computed acceleration of the estimated position and acceleration measurements of the sensor arranged on the second body member; digitally computing a second comparison between the computed acceleration of the estimated position and acceleration measurements of the sensor arranged on the third body member; and digitally determining whether the second and third sensors have been arranged on the second and third body members, respectively, based on both the first and second comparisons.
