Motor Function Test System
First Claim
1. A motor function test system comprising a chair for a motor function test comprising a seat endowed with at least one pressure sensor and armrests each endowed with at least one pressure sensor, means suitable for detecting inclinations of the torso of a subject, an electronic data processor to receive signals emitted by said at least one pressure sensor and from said means when stimulated, and to collect said signals and process the corresponding descriptive parameters.

Abstract
A motor function test system as well as to a method of acquisition and collection of the signals are processed into the corresponding parameters for a motor function test. In particular, the system and method relate to the quantification of the performance of a subject during the evaluation of balance as defined by the Tinetti test.
