基于IMU信号的人工智能上肢多关节运动状态识别系统构建——卒中后人工智能运动功能评估与检测系统建设前导研究 Construction of an Artificial Intelligence Upper Limb Multi-Joint Motion State Recognition System Based on IMU Signals—A Pre... by 程相鑫1，张烁1，杜松骏1，刘子阳1，周宏宇2，3，贾伟丽2，3，李子孝2，3，刘涛1 (CHENG Xiangxin1, ZHANG Shuo1, DU Songjun1, LIU Ziyang1, ZHOU Hongyu2,3, JIA Weili2,3, LI Zixiao2,3, LIU Tao1 )

“…The ablation experiment showed that the accuracy of elbow joint state classification exceeded that of dual IMU configuration (92.5% vs. 87.5%) when wrist IMU was used only, and the difference was not significant in other tasks. This suggested that optimizing sensor deployment (e.g., reducing upper arm IMUs) can reduce system complexity while maintaining high performance. …”
