Quantitative numerical profiles and graphical displays of human function/performance capabilities are produced from serial measurements derived from a battery of transducers which sense physical parameters in response to a visual, auditory, or mechanical stimulus and/or special task definition. In different aspects, a sufficient, selected subset of available measurements are administered, representative data is obtained and processed to yield one or several characteristic feature measures corresponding to functions such as strength, range of motion, speed, coordination, etc., and the quantitative functional profile is displayed as a formatted array of individual measures. In other aspects, statistical comparison arrays, representing a normalized version of the raw measure array, is generated. This array is used to produce one of several application dependent display formats, or to generate a functional profile visualization, relating combinations of individual normalized array elements directly to human anatomic (body) sites. In other aspects, the normalized array is used in combination with special knowledge and/or data bases to yield application dependent predictions related to various aspects of human performance. |
