AbstractHuman movement is considered one of the important factors for maintaining an independent life. Besides, the way a person walks is considered a personal identification trait and may be able to distinguish individuals with the same pathological condition, with the same range, of the same gender and the same ethnicity (Connor; Ross, 2018; Yu et al., 2009). Although the use of the accelerometer is becoming increasingly common in the health area, a standard has not yet been created on which frequency patterns are ideal to discriminate individuals according to gender, especially when they are out of clinical settings, carrying out their activities of daily living. The aim of this study was to identify which accelerometry characteristics extracted from the use of a triaxial accelerometer during 7 days of activities of daily living are associated with female and male gender.Keywords: computer-aided signal processing, accelerometry, gait, gender, mobility
