Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and apparatus for measuring the power or strength used during a movement, and in particular to measuring the power or strength used in the vertical parts of the movement.
- Falls are one of the greatest health risk factors to elderly people. It has been found that around one third of people above the age of 65 fall at least once a year.
- Fall prevention trials based on strength and balance training (SBT) have shown that the risk of falling in elderly people can be reduced.
- Balance performance measures can be used as early indicators of fall risk and to measure the progress of fall prevention programs.
- Sit-to-Stand (STS) transfer has been identified as an important movement in that respect. Domain experts compare the graph of the power generated during a Sit-To-Stand transfer for fall prevention with the ECG graph in cardiovascular disorders. In daily life, the STS transfer is performed by every person multiple times a day.

- the vertical acceleration is calculated just from the measurements of the accelerometer 8 in accordance with the algorithm described below.
- the sensor unit 2 comprises one or more other sensors in addition to the accelerometer 8 for determining the orientation (or changes in the orientation) of the sensor unit 2, such as a gyroscope and/or magnetometer.

- the orientation of the accelerometer 8 it is possible for the orientation of the accelerometer 8 to be determined regardless of the initial position of the accelerometer 8.
- the accelerometer 8 may not be attached to the user 4 in this way (it may be that the y a axis corresponds most closely to the vertically oriented axis in the fixed reference frame).
- the processor 10 determines the angle between the acceleration A and the axis with the highest component of acceleration (z a ').
- ⁇ is given by:
- the accelerometer 8 is free to move with respect to the fixed reference frame, it is desirable to check for local instability caused by rapid changes in the acceleration.

- step 101 a series of measurements or estimates of the acceleration experienced by the user 4 in the vertical direction (in the fixed reference frame) are obtained from the accelerometer 8.
- the estimates of the acceleration in the vertical direction can be obtained from a sensor unit 2 whose only sensor is an accelerometer 8, or from a sensor unit 2 that includes an accelerometer, gyroscope and/or magnetometer.
- the vertical accelerations can be low pass filtered, for example, by a Butterworth filter with a cut-off frequency of around 2 Hz. Then, in step 103, the vertical ground reaction force, F g1 , as a function of time, as shown in Fig. 3, is estimated from

- the vertical velocity, vel_vert(t) is determined from
- the start and end points of the integration are determined from the measurements from the accelerometer 8.
- the start point can be identified as the point at which the vertical acceleration starts to vary after a period of time of being in a steady state (for example the vertical acceleration can start to vary from a zero value or from gravity).
- the end point can be identified as the point at which the vertical acceleration resumes a steady state after a period of movement (for example the vertical acceleration can return to zero or gravity).
- the processor 10 can determine the start and end points by examining the measurements of the vertical acceleration.
- step 107 the power used during the vertical movement is calculated using:
- the ground reaction force and power determined from the series of measurements of the vertical acceleration form a time series, which can be plotted as a graph over time. It is then also possible to determine the maximum instantaneous power or maximum loading rate of the power.

- This power estimate can provide a physical performance measure for evaluating balance quality and fall risk.
- this method would enable a home healthcare provider to monitor the users balance quality or risk of falling in an unobtrusive way.
- the accuracy of the power estimation can be improved by placing the sensor unit 2 as close to the centre of mass of the user 4 as possible.
- the sensor unit 2 is preferably placed close to the pelvis or lower trunk of the user 4.
- a further improvement to the power estimation can be obtained by providing accelerometers at two or more parts of the body of the user 4. For example, this can be achieved by providing two sensor units 2, one sensor unit 2 being placed at the sternum, and the other sensor unit 2 being placed at the pelvis. In this embodiment, one of the sensor units 2 will need to receive the measurements from the other sensor unit(s) 2 in order to calculate the power used.
- the weighted average of the accelerations represents the acceleration acting on a virtual centre of mass position in the user 4.
- this weighted average is given by:
- the constants B and C have values of 0.603 and 0.397 respectively, as described in "Biomechanics and Motor Control of Human Movement” by Winter, D. A.
- the sensor unit 2 or sensor units 2 can measure the acceleration, and transmit these measurements to a separate base unit which performs the necessary calculations to estimate the power used during the movement.
- the sensor unit 2 is small and easy to use, it can be used over a long period of time (relative to the period of time possible in a clinical setting) to quantify the power or strength during a particular type of body movement, such as a sit-to-stand transfer.
- the power or strength can be measured in an unobtrusive fashion, and the methods described above provide a similar accuracy to clinical measurement systems.
- a computer program may be stored/distributed on a suitable medium, such as an optical storage medium or a solid-state medium supplied together with or as part of other hardware, but may also be distributed in other forms, such as via the Internet or other wired or wireless telecommunication systems. Any reference signs in the claims should not be construed as limiting the scope.
