摘要:
The invention generally relates to an adjustable headpiece with anatomical markers and methods of use thereof. In certain embodiments, the invention provides an apparatus that includes a headpiece configured to be worn on a head of a user. The headpiece includes at least a first receptacle configured to receive and retain a first energy source, and the headpiece is adjustable in at least one direction. There is at least one anatomical marker coupled to the headpiece. In that manner, a position of the receptacle can be adjustably aligned to a region of neural tissue in the head based on an alignment of the at least one anatomical marker with its designated anatomical structure.

The invention generally relates to motion analysis systems and methods of use thereof. In certain aspects, the system includes an image capture device, at least one accelerometer, and a central processing unit (CPU) with storage coupled thereto for storing instructions that when executed by the CPU cause the CPU to receive a first set of motion data from the image capture device related to at least one joint of a subject while the subject is performing a task and receive a second set of motion data from the accelerometer related to the at least one joint of the subject while the subject is performing the task. The CPU also calculates kinematic and/or kinetic information about the at least one joint of a subject from a combination of the first and second sets of motion data, and outputs the kinematic and/or kinetic information for purposes of assessing a movement disorder.
