1. A motion sensing apparatus, comprising:
- a housing unit operable to be attached to an object at an attachment position;
an accelerometer coupled with the housing unit and operable to provide a signal corresponding to an acceleration measurement;
a memory including a database of motion analysis algorithms; and
a processing system operable to—
acquire the signal corresponding to the acceleration measurement,analyze the acquired acceleration measurement to identify the attachment position of the housing unit,access the memory to select a motion analysis algorithm from the database based on the identified attachment position, anddetermine a motion parameter utilizing the selected motion analysis algorithm.
