This invention is related to motion pattern monitoring apparatus, comprising: measurement module and monitoring unit； with the said measurement modules being placed in the part of the body of the patient to be monitored； with the monitoring unit being carried by the patient； with the monitoring unit connected by wireless communication to the said measurement modules； with the said measurement modules acquiring the motion signals from the patient and transmitting the motion signals to the monitoring unit, with the monitoring unit analyzing the motion signals to detect the peaks of the signals and to measure the peak amplitudes and peak intervals between two consecutive peaks, and accordingly to identify the motion pattern based on the said peak information. The invention uses the peak amplitudes and peak intervals to detect the motion patterns.
