*4.1. Clinical Implications*

Inertial measurement technologies enable clinicians to capture patients' movement during unconstrained activities—whether in the clinic or during daily living within their home environment. As these tools become more accessible to therapists and patients, the information they provide has the potential to help improve diagnosis and recommendations for therapeutic interventions or rehabilitation strategies. Additionally, they can facilitate the collection of clinical trial outcome measures in most outpatient clinics, rather than specialized laboratory settings. Nonetheless, we note that IMU-based systems are not a replacement for clinical experience, but rather a tool that can complement clinical judgment. Furthermore, future studies are needed to determine the feasibly of using these systems during rehabilitation programs to monitor compliance and the progression of exercise intensity.
