<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately measure blood pressure by accurately judging the positions of a cuff and the heart without being influenced by variations in physical characteristics and the posture of a person to be measured during measurement. <P>SOLUTION: An angle detecting means is provided in the brachium in addition to an angle detecting means in the forearm and the heights of the cuff and the heart are measured on the basis of the detection angles of the forearm and the brachium. The angles of the pitch direction and the roll direction of the forearm are detected by a biaxial angle detecting means, and the heights of the cuff and the heart are computed on the basis of these detected values. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
