METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MONITORING QUALITY OF A DYNAMIC ACTIVITY OF A BODY
First Claim
1. An apparatus for monitoring, measuring and/or estimating metrics associated with Quality of a dynamic activity of a body or body part of a vertebral mammal, said apparatus including:
- at least one inertial sensor for measuring relative to a first frame of reference acceleration and/or rotation data indicative of said Quality of a dynamic activity and for providing said acceleration and/or rotation data;
a memory device adapted for storing said acceleration and/or rotation data; and
a processor adapted for processing said acceleration and/or rotation data to evaluate one or more biomechanical metrics associated with Quality of said dynamic activity that correlates to said data.

Abstract
Apparatus is disclosed for monitoring, measuring and/or estimating metrics and/or combinations of the metrics associated with Quality of a dynamic activity of a body or body part of a vertebral mammal. The apparatus includes at least one inertial sensor for measuring relative to a first frame of reference acceleration and/or rotation data indicative of the Quality of a dynamic activity and for providing the acceleration and/or rotation data. The apparatus also includes a memory device adapted for storing the acceleration and/or rotation data, and a processor adapted for processing the acceleration and/or rotation data to evaluate one or more biomechanical metrics associated with Quality of the dynamic activity that correlates to the data. The processor may be configured to execute at least one algorithm for evaluating the one or more biomechanical metrics associated with quality of the dynamic activity. A method for monitoring, measuring and/or estimating metrics and/or combinations of the metrics associated with Quality of a dynamic activity of a body or body part of a vertebral mammal is also disclosed.
