摘要:
Apparatus is disclosed for monitoring, measuring and/or estimating dynamic status of a body part of a vertebral mammal. The apparatus includes at least one kinematics sensor for measuring and for providing data for comparison to a first frame of reference data indicative of the dynamic status of the body part. The apparatus also includes a memory device adapted for storing the sensor data and the first frame of reference data and a processor adapted for processing the sensor data to evaluate a dynamic signature associated with the body part that correlates to the first frame of reference data. A method for monitoring, measuring and/or estimating dynamic status of a body part of a vertebral mammal is also disclosed.
摘要:
Apparatus is disclosed for monitoring, measuring and/or estimating metrics and/or combinations of the metrics associated with Quality of a dynamic activity of a body or body part of a vertebral mammal. The apparatus includes at least one inertial sensor for measuring relative to a first frame of reference acceleration and/or rotation data indicative of the Quality of a dynamic activity and for providing the acceleration and/or rotation data. The apparatus also includes a memory device adapted for storing the acceleration and/or rotation data, and a processor adapted for processing the acceleration and/or rotation data to evaluate one or more biomechanical metrics associated with Quality of the dynamic activity that correlates to the data. The processor may be configured to execute at least one algorithm for evaluating the one or more biomechanical metrics associated with quality of the dynamic activity. A method for monitoring, measuring and/or estimating metrics and/or combinations of the metrics associated with Quality of a dynamic activity of a body or body part of a vertebral mammal is also disclosed.

Apparatus is disclosed for monitoring, measuring and/or estimating deviation of a body part of a vertebral mammal. The apparatus includes at least one sensor for measuring rotation of the body part relative to a first frame of reference and for providing data indicative of the rotation. The apparatus also includes a memory device adapted for storing the data and a processor adapted for processing the data to evaluate a deviation of the body part that correlates to the data. The processor may be configured to execute an algorithm for evaluating deviation of the body part. A method of monitoring, measuring and/or estimating deviation of a body part of a vertebral mammal is also disclosed.
摘要:
Apparatus is disclosed for monitoring, measuring and/or estimating a force applied to a body or body part of a vertebral mammal. The apparatus includes an acceleration sensor for measuring acceleration of the body or body part relative to an inertial frame of reference and for providing data indicative of the acceleration. The acceleration sensor includes at least one inertial sensor, a memory device adapted for storing the data, and a processor adapted for processing the data to evaluate a reaction force that correlates to the data. The processor may be configured to execute an algorithm for evaluating the reaction force, based on one or more correlation components such as mass, speed and/or velocity associated with the body or body part. A method of monitoring and/or estimating a force applied to a body or body part of a vertebral mammal is also disclosed.
