INTEGRATED PORTABLE DEVICE AND METHOD IMPLEMENTING AN ACCELEROMETER FOR DETECTING ASYMMETRIES IN A MOVEMENT OF A USER

摘要

The invention relates to a method implementing an accelerometer (17) for detecting asymmetries in a movement of a user, comprising a) fixing a portable device (1) on the trunk of the user, close to his/her centre of gravity (CG), said device being electrically autonomous and comprising a triaxial accelerometer (17) and a digital processor (19); b) using said accelerometer to measure a sequence of data relating to acceleration in at least the vertical direction (av), while the user does at least one exercise; and c) during or at the end of said exercise, calculation, by the processor, of biomechanical parameters enabling the detection of at least one asymmetry in a movement of the user, on the basis of said acceleration data.
