摘要：
The invention discloses apparatus, and the method of using it, comprising one, or more, electronic sensors attached to a part of a human or animal's body. The patient then performs an activity, or has an activity performed on them, and the results of the measured parameters are recorded by the sensor and processed, or downloaded and processed. The sensor may include a range of instrumentation, for example accelerometers, magnetometers, gyroscopes, force sensors to record positions in the X, Y and Z planes, or movements, angular movements, forces, stresses in bones / joints. In other embodiments the sensors may record pulse rate, musculature based parameters, brain rhythms or breathing based parameters. Methods for measuring lateral angular movement of hinged joints and spinal extension are taught. In embodiments the sensors may be attached by adhesive or by a strap. In embodiments the sensor is an accelerometer, radio or acoustic sensor.
