Abstract: Systems and methods detect steps from one or more sensed accelerometer signals. Systems comprise an accelerometer and a non-transitory computer readable medium, each of which communicates with a processor. The accelerometer is coupled to an individual and generates outputs received by the processor. The non-transitory computer readable medium stores instructions controlling the processor to perform steps of a method. The processor determines a minimum and a maximum reading for respective time periods. Counted peak heights are maxima that exceed a rest threshold. The rest threshold may be a function of the rest maximum. The processor determines a peak threshold for each time period having a counted peak height. A counted amplitude comprises the difference between the maximum reading and minimum readings of a time period in which the counted peak height exceeds the peak threshold. The processor increments a step counter when a counted amplitude exceeds an amplitude threshold.

Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods determine one or more gait parameters using acceleration readings generated by an accelerometer coupled to a user. Gait parameters determined by various embodiments may include step length, step width, step time, single limb support time, or double limb support time. The accelerometer may be coupled to one of the user's arms. Exemplary systems may comprise an accelerometer, a processor, and a non-transitory computer readable medium (NTCRM). The processor may process acceleration readings from the accelerometer according to instructions stored on the NTCRM to determine the one or more gait parameters. The processor may communicate the one or more gait parameters to a receiving device. Some embodiments of the system may function as self-contained units and some embodiments may present information corresponding to gait parameters or recommendations regarding gait.

Abstract: Systems and methods select accelerometer data to store on computer-readable media. Systems may comprise an accelerometer, a processor, and a computer-readable medium storing instructions executed by the processor. Accelerometer data from a critical time period are stored on a computer readable medium if an activity ratio for the critical time period exceeds an activity threshold. The numerator of the activity ratio comprises a count of data windows in the critical time period that satisfy one or more count criteria and the denominator comprises the total number of data windows in the critical time period.
