“…This app computed the mediolateral head angle in real time, using methods established in previous studies. 41 , 42 Each sample carried signed 16-bit acceleration outputs for all three axes x, y, and z. These acceleration outputs were scaled to equate to a proportional value of Earth's gravity (G px , G py , and G pz ).…”

Objective Core stability assessment is paramount for the prevention of low back pain, with core stability being considered as the most critical factor in such pain. The objective of this study was to develop a simple model for the automated assessment of core stability status. Methods To assess core stability—defined as the ability to control trunk position relative to the pelvic position - we used an inertial measurement unit sensor embedded within a wireless earbud to estimate the mediolateral head angle during rhythmic movements (RMs) such as cycling, walking, and running. The activities of muscles around the trunk were analyzed by an experienced, highly trained individual. Functional movement tests (FMTs) were performed, including single-leg squat, lunge, and side lunge. Data was collected from 77 participants, who were then classified into good and poor core stability groups based on their Sahrmann core stability test scores. Results From the head angle data, we extrapolated the symmetry index (SI) and amplitude of mediolateral head motion (Amp). Support vector machine and neural network models were trained and validated using these features. In both models, the accuracy was similar across three feature sets for RMs, FMTs, and full, and support vector machine accuracy (∼87%) is greater than neural network (∼75%). Conclusion The use of this model, trained with head motion-related features obtained during RMs or FMTs, can help to accurately classify core stability status during activities.
