Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for monitoring, measuring and/or estimating a force applied to a body or body part of a vertebral mammal. The apparatus includes an acceleration sensor for measuring acceleration of the body or body part relative to an inertial frame of reference and for providing data indicative of the acceleration. The acceleration sensor includes at least one inertial sensor, a memory device adapted for storing the data, and a processor adapted for processing the data to evaluate a reaction force that correlates to the data. The processor may be configured to execute an algorithm for evaluating the reaction force, based on one or more correlation components such as mass, speed and/or velocity associated with the body or body part. A method of monitoring and/or estimating a force applied to a body or body part of a vertebral mammal is also disclosed.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing a classification of an angular position of a limb relative to a torso of a vertebral mammal is provided. The apparatus includes a first sensor, a second sensor, a memory device and a processor. The first sensor is for measuring position of the torso relative to a first frame of reference and for providing first data indicative of the torso position. The second sensor is for measuring position of the limb relative to a second frame of reference and for providing second data indicative of the limb position. The memory device is adapted for storing the first and second data at least temporarily. The processor is adapted for processing the first and second data to derive the angular position of the limb relative to the torso in at least one anatomical plane of the mammal's body, and to provide the classification based at least on the derived torso and limb positions. A method for providing a classification of an angular position of a limb relative to a torso of a vertebral mammal is also provided.
