Background The purpose of this study is to analyze trends in the method and type of Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) by investigating studies on the type and method of convergence study of the IMU by systematic review. Method The study was conducted using PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses) guidelines. Result 23 studies that meet the selection criteria were selected from 630 studies identified by three databases. As a result of this study, showed that various research using IMU was being conducted around the world, and the type of IMU was strap, full body suit, belt, wrist watch, shoes and glove. Among them, the number of strap‐type IMUs was the largest at 11. The IMU's strengths were simplicity, real‐time data collection and ease of application, which were used as measurement methods such as task, walking, and range of joint. Conclusion The result of this study is expected to be used as basic data for experts in the medical and rehabilitation fields that conduct IMU research.
