  • Patent number: 8269826
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for measuring human movement of a test subject during a standard coordination and balance test. The test subject is placed in a selected test position, e.g. standing on one leg for a selected test period. A sensor device is attached to at least one body member of the test subject. The sensor generates and transmits a signal representative of movement of the body member during the test (hereinafter “the test”). The test subject is viewed through a viewfinder of a visual recorder. The recorder and sensor device are activated and generate image and sensor signals which are transmitted to an analyzer for determining the movement of the body members during the test. A coordination and balance score is calculated from the test based on the body movement, body member location and test time. The score is compared a standard associated with the test, and provides an indicator of the test subject's coordination and balance skill.

  • Patent number: 5850626
    Abstract: A diver's computer including detectors for measurement and determination of diving parameters, a processor for processing the measured and determined data, and memory functions for storage of the measured and collected data. According to the invention, the diver's computer is provided with a detachable memory unit in which the measured and collected data have been arranged to be stored and which memory unit can be connected to a personal computer or equivalent for analyzing the data. Of the measured and collected data, preferably at least the data on the diving depth, diving time and starting time of the dive, the data on the pressure in the bottle, the situation of residual nitrogen, and possible violations by the diver are preferably stored in the detachable memory unit. The detachable memory unit is preferably user-specific in view of storage of personal data.
