Among the various technological options for posture monitoring, wearable systems offer potential advantages regarding mobility, use in different contexts and sustained tracking in daily life. We describe the design of a smart garment named Zishi to monitor compensatory movements and evaluate its applicability for shoulder motor control training in a clinical setting. Five physiotherapists and eight patients with musculoskeletal shoulder pain participated in the study. The attitudes of patients and therapists towards the system were measured using standardized survey instruments. The results indicate that patients and their therapists consider Zishi a credible aid for rehabilitation and patients expect it will help towards their recovery. The system was perceived as highly usable and patients were motivated to train with the system. Future research efforts on the improvement of the customization of feedback location and modality, and on the evaluation of Zishi as support for motor learning in shoulder patients, should be made.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s17071687","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,24]],"date-time":"2017-07-24T10:04:13Z","timestamp":1500890653000},"page":"1687","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Motor Control Training for the Shoulder with Smart Garments"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Qi","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial Design, Eindhoven University of Technology, 5612 AZ Eindhoven, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Liesbet","family":"De Baets","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"BIOMED REVAL Rehabilitation Research Institute, Faculty of Medicine and Life Sciences, Hasselt University, B-3590 Diepenbeek, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Annick","family":"Timmermans","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"BIOMED REVAL Rehabilitation Research Institute, Faculty of Medicine and Life Sciences, Hasselt University, B-3590 Diepenbeek, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Intelligent Medical Electronics, Department of Electronic Engineering, School of Information Science and Technology, Fudan University, Shanghai 200433, China"},{"name":"Shanghai Key Laboratory of Medical Imaging Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention, Shanghai 200000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luca","family":"Giacolini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial Design, Eindhoven University of Technology, 5612 AZ Eindhoven, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2523-9723","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas","family":"Matheve","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"BIOMED REVAL Rehabilitation Research Institute, Faculty of Medicine and Life Sciences, Hasselt University, B-3590 Diepenbeek, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Panos","family":"Markopoulos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial Design, Eindhoven University of Technology, 5612 AZ Eindhoven, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"677","DOI":"10.1088\/0967-3334\/35\/4\/677","article-title":"Objective outcome evaluation using inertial sensors in subacromial impingement syndrome: A five-year follow-up study","volume":"35","author":"Senden","year":"2014","journal-title":"Physiol.
