Assessment of medical conditions by determining mobility
First Claim
1. A system for assessing the mobility of a subject, said system comprising a motion sensor to observe movement of a subject and generate a data stream representative of such movement, a comparator to detect abnormalities in such motion and compare said abnormalities to at least one known norm and an allocator operable upon an said comparator to indicate whether said output is within said known norm.

Abstract
A mobility assessment detects abnormalities in motion using a stagger algorithm. The detected abnormalities are compared to known norms for a particular test to determine if the abnormalities are normal or not. The comparison can be made for abnormalities associated with different diseases and illnesses to classify whether or not the condition exists and its phase. The results may be used to generate a treatment regime.
