DynaPort Moverment Monitor

The University of Bologne is carrying out a large study of patients with mobility and movement functions using McRoberts’ (The Hague, Netherlands) “Dyna Port Hybrid” device and “Move Monitor” application.  The tiny Dyna Port fits on an elastic waist band and records physical movement and body posture from its internal gyroscopes and accelerometers. Collected data can be sent via Bluetooth to a receiving device which transmits it to a physician or care giver.  It is useful in tracking physical therapy improvement, monitoring Parkinson’s symptoms, and improving training for athletes and dancers.            MORE
