Why Proper IMU Attachment Matters
The quality of motion data depends not only on the sensor, but also on how it is mounted. Poor attachment can introduce movement artefacts, reduce repeatability and compromise user comfort – especially during longer sessions.
QSense attachment solutions are designed to ensure:
- Stable fixation to minimise sensor drift and micro-movement
- Consistent placement for repeatable measurements
- High user comfort for long-duration wear
- Flexibility across different body segments and applications
From short performance tests to multi-day monitoring, the right attachment method makes the difference.

- QSM210055 – Shoulder Hook & Loop Strap
- QSM210056 – Hook & Loop Counterpart (soft) – Adhesive patch for the backside of QSense sensors (10 pcs)
These straps are well suited for:
- Clinical assessments
- Sports performance analysis
- Biomechanics research
- Ergonomics studies
Soft Fabric Hook & Loop strap options
Maximum comfort for long-duration and sensitive use
Soft Fabric Hook & Loop Straps are designed for situations where comfort is critical. Made from ultra-soft, skin-friendly materials, they are ideal for:
- Rehabilitation programs
- Long-duration monitoring
- Elderly or paediatric users
- Post-operative and sensitive skin use
They provide secure fixation while minimising pressure points and irritation. As with standard straps, a Hook & Loop counterpart is required on the sensor.

Wristband-Style IMU Holders
Intuitive watch-style mounting for upper-limb tracking
The QSense Wristband-Style IMU Holders provide an easy and familiar way to mount sensors on the wrist, similar to wearing a smartwatch. They are ideal for:
- Upper limb movement analysis
- Gesture tracking
- Demonstrations and user-friendly setups
- Rehabilitation exercises involving the arm and hand
The sensor can be mounted:
- Inline with the strap (streamlined orientation)
- Perpendicular to the strap (90° rotated orientation)
Inline mount
Perpendicular to the strap
Available closure options include:
- Hook-and-loop (Velcro)
- Magnetic click systems (not recommended for 9DOF applications)
- Traditional watch buckles
- Elastic wristbands
Waterproof Adhesive Patches
QSense’s Waterproof Patches are designed for secure, Low-profile, direct skin attachment for continuous monitoring
QSense Waterproof Patches enable discreet, strap-free placement of the IMU sensor directly on the skin. Each patch fully encloses the sensor in a breathable, shower-proof material.
This solution is particularly suited for:
- Multi-day monitoring
- Home rehabilitation programs
- Elderly or cognitively impaired users
- Situations where low visibility is required
The patch ensures secure placement while maintaining comfort and sensor performance, even in humid or active environments.
