Abstract
A platform for diagnosing movement disorder is disclosed. The platform comprises at least one inertia-sensing unit that comprises at least one accelerometer, wherein the inertia-sensing unit measures a user's movement; a power unit that provides power at least to the inertia-sensing unit; a processing unit that performs signal processing on the user's movement and quantifies the movement into a data; a diagnosing unit that analyzes the data to diagnose whether a movement disorder occurs by comparing the data to a database, where the database includes at least information about the user's movement characteristic; and a communication unit that establishes a communication with a computer, a mobile device or a computer server.
Claims20
A platform for diagnosing movement disorder, the platform comprising:
- at least one inertia-sensing unit that comprises at least one accelerometer, wherein the inertia-sensing unit measures a user's movement;
- a power unit that provides power at least to the inertia-sensing unit;
- a processing unit that performs signal processing on the user's movement and quantifies the movement into a data;
- a diagnosing unit that analyzes the data to diagnose whether a movement disorder occurs by comparing the data to a database, where the database includes at least information about the user's movement characteristic;
- a communication unit that establishes a communication with a computer, a mobile device or a computer server.
A platform for diagnosing movement disorder and alleviating pain caused by the movement disorder, the platform comprising:
- at least one inertia-sensing unit that comprises at least one accelerometer, and measures a user's movement;
- a power unit that provides power at least to the inertia-sensing unit;
- a processing unit that performs signal processing on the user's movement measured and quantifies the movement into a data using Fourier Transformation or a derivative of Fourier Transformation;
- a diagnosing unit that analyzes the data to diagnose whether a movement disorder occurs by comparing the data to a database, where the database includes at least information about the user's movement characteristic;
- an electromyography unit that detects and measures change in active potentials of the user's muscle;
- and
- a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation unit that applies electrical current to the user when a movement disorder is diagnosed to suppress acute and chronic pain caused by the movement order.
A method of detecting movement disorder and alleviating pain caused by the movement disorder comprising:
- measuring movement of a user using at least one accelerometer;
- performing signal processing on the measured movement of the user to quantify the movement into a data using Fourier Transformation or a derivative of Fourier Transformation;
- comparing the data to a database, where the database includes at least information about the user's movement;
- and
- diagnosing whether the data corresponds to a movement disorder based on the comparison.
