Abstract
An instrumented interface for quantifying at least one physiological parameter of the upper limbs of a person, capable of being secured to a gripping device, and including at least one gripping system which the person can hang from, the instrumented interface including at least one force sensor which measures a deformation of the interface when a person exerts a force on the interface via the one gripping device, and is capable of producing a value that translates a force value.
Claims7
A method for modelling an exercise capacity of an individual's upper limbs, implemented by an intelligent device, said method comprising:
- a step of configuration, consisting in receiving at least one message containing a weight value, a value representing a notion of difficulty and a value representing a gripping technique;
- a step of reception of measuring data consisting in receiving at least one measurement message containing at least one force value associated with a time value transmitted by an instrumented interface, said instrumented interface:
- securely attached to a gripping device, the gripping device having at least one gripping system allowing the individual to be suspended, said instrumented interface including at least one force sensor measuring a deformation of said instrumented interface when an individual exerts a force on said instrumented interface via said gripping device, and the at least one force sensor configured to produce a value representing a force value;
- a step of calculation of at least one physiological parameter representative of the performance of an individual's forearms or arms, from at least said difficulty value and a force value associated with a time value;
- a step of transmission consisting in transmitting at least one message containing a value representative of a physiological parameter representing the performance of an individual's forearms or arms, calculated in the previous step.
