Abstract: A method and apparatus for the analysis of movements of several different parts of an individual's body recorded by ambulatory measurement involves registering the movements by an accelerometer attached to each body part to be monitored and storing the signals in memory. The signals registered by the different accelerometers are retrieved from the memory and conducted synchronously to a detector to thereby enable simultaneous monitoring of the movements of the different body parts. Signals based on movements of the limbs, head and/or the middle body and, if desired, signals based on other functions of the body like eye movements, breathing or pulsation of the heart are conducted synchronously to the detector to allow simultaneous monitoring of the movements of the various body parts and other functions of the body. The result is a precise qualitative and quantitative characterization of an individual's overall motor functions.
