Smooth Moves: Comparing Log Dimensionless Jerk Metrics from Body Center of Mass Trajectory and Wearable Sensor Acceleration During Walking by Paolo Brasiliano, Gaspare Pavei, Elena Bergamini

“…Movement smoothness is a critical metric for evaluating motor control and sensorimotor impairments, with increasing relevance in neurorehabilitation and everyday functional assessments. This study investigates the correlation between two smoothness metrics (Log Dimensionless Jerk): LDLJV, derived from body center of mass (BCoM) trajectories using a gold-standard stereophotogrammetric system, and LDLJA, calculated from acceleration data recorded via an inertial measurement unit (IMU) placed at the L1–L2 level. …”
