<p>The invention relates to method for the analysis of movements of several different parts of an individual's body recorded by ambulatory measurement wherein the movements are registered by an accelerometer attached to each body part to be monitored and the signal is stored into memory. According to the invention, the signals registered by the different accelerometers are retrieved from the memory and conducted synchronously to a detector thereby enabling simultaneous monitoring of the movements of the different body parts. According to one embodiment, signals based on movements of the limbs, head and/or the middle body and, if desired, signals based on other functions of the body like eye movements, breathing, or pulsation of the heart, are conducted synchronously to the detector to allow simultaneous monitoring of the movements of the limbs, head and/or the middle body and, if desired, other functions of the body. The objective is to obtain a precise qualitative and quantitative characterization of individual's overall motor functions.</p> |
