Abstract: The present invention relates to a biomechanical monitoring apparatus (1) which includes a mounting means adapted to allow the apparatus to be worn by a user and a motion a detection means (2) adapted to detect the motion of a user when the apparatus is worn. The apparatus also includes an accumulation means (4) adapted to indicate the extent of motion activity completed by a user since a specific time. The invention also relates to a method of using such apparatus where the extent of motion activity completed is compared against at least one movement activity threshold level to potentially activate an alarm indicator when such thresholds are exceeded.
