  • Patent number: 11911148
    Abstract: Presented are concepts for monitoring walker usage by a subject. One such concept obtains movement data comprising values of detected movement of an arm of the subject for a first time period during which the subject is determined to have transferred between first and second locations the first time period. It is determined if the subject used a walker during the first time period based on a measure of variance in the values of detected movement of the subject's arm during the first time period.
