Device
|
| Description |
|
The device is made of a 3D accelerometer, a thin load cell and associated electronic circuitry included into a cylinder.
|
|
| Purpose/Use |
|
A specific software (still under development) is recording the 3 acceleration chanels and the force chanel during various rest and exercise sequences. The definitive protocol will be under validation by the begining of 2009.
