In this paper we introduce a new kinematic sensor to evaluate the ability to rise from a chair by means of the sit-to-stand locomotion task. It is based on the analysis of the acceleration assessed by a homemade accelerometric transducer. Preliminary results show the feasibility of discriminating the rising from a chair fixed to different heights and the capability of distinguishing between pathological and non pathological parkinsonian subjects.

It is based on the analysis of the acceleration assessed by a homemade accelerometric transducer. Preliminary results show the feasibility of discriminating the rising from a chair fixed to different heights and the capability of distinguishing between pathological and non pathological parkinsonian subjects.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
