Description
Summary:Highlights • Monitoring children movement competence is fundamental. • Inertial sensors can be useful for an effective, objective, widespread screening. • An instrumented version of the TGMD-2 locomotor subtest was developed. • The proposed method was validated on tests performed by 45 children aged 6–10 years. • Results support the use of inertial sensors in this field as valid and reliable.
