Resumen:
Osteoarthritis is the most common type of degenerative joint disease and affects millions of people. In this paper, we propose a non-obtrusive and straightforward method to assess the progression of osteoarthritis. In standard medicine praxis, osteoarthritis is observed with X-rays. In this study, we use widely available wearable sensors with gyroscopes to make the observation. Two novel methods are proposed for gyroscope data processing. A small-scale study has shown that these methods can be used to monitor osteoarthritis's progression, and to differentiate between healthy subjects and subjects with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome.
