  1. PROLIMB Electronic Sensing for the Prophylaxis of Lower Limb Pathologies (2010-2013) OBJECTIVES Development and implementation of a wearable electronic system, to capture physical quantities associated to human locomotion in the most comfortable and non-invasive mode, even for people with serious disabilities and physical impairments. The system should be usable as a wearable garment and functionally autonomous, allowing the monitoring of the most relevant quantities, not only in clinical or lab environment, but also in the patient’s daily life, with minimal interference and discomfort. The quantities to be captured include linear and angular movements of the lower limbs, as well as the myoelectric signals observed at the surface of thighs and legs. The observation of these quantities allows for a multifactorial analysis of locomotion and, consequently, a more accurate diagnosis and the possibility of understanding the role of different factors in pathology, helping the physician in the decision taking procedure concerning the best therapies.
