Abstract
A method for measuring body movement with a wearable device. The method includes receiving, from a magnetic sensor of the wearable device, first signal data indicative of a magnetic field of a wearable magnet, wherein the wearable device is placed on a first body segment and the wearable magnet is placed on a second body segment; determining, by a computing device based on the first signal data, a distance metric indicative of a relative distance between the wearable magnet and the wearable device, and an orientation metric indicative of an orientation relative to the wearable magnet; and determining a biomechanical model based on the type of body segment for the first body segment and the second body segment, wherein the biomechanical model includes a relationship constraint between the distance metric and the orientation metric.
