Peter H. Veltink (SM'06) is Professor of technology for the restoration of human function at the University of Twente. His research interests are in biomechatronics and neural engineering. His research includes ambulatory sensing of human movements, artificial human motor control, and neurostimulation. He is the (co)author of over 125 peer reviewed journal papers. He has been the scientific coordinator of three EU research training networks and currently coordinates the EU project INTERACTION since November 2011.
Prof. Veltink has been an Associate Editor for the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NEURAL SYSTEMS AND REHABILITATION ENGINEERING until 2014.
Remote monitoring of gait performance offers possibilities for objective evaluation, and tackling impairment in motor ability, gait, and balance in populations such as elderly, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, etc. This requires a wearable and unobtrusive system capable of estimating ambulatory...

Tracking human body motions using inertial sensors has become a well-accepted method in ambulatory applications since the subject is not confined to a lab-bounded volume. However, a major drawback is the inability to estimate relative body positions over time because...

Abstract Background: Stroke is one of the main causes of disability in the world, causing loss of motor function on mainly one side of the body. A proper assessment of motor function is required to help to direct and evaluate...
