Description of
Use
The MotionWatch contains a miniature accelerometer to
allow measurement and recording of physical movement of
the wrist which provides a close correlation to whole body
movement. The data are sampled at 50Hz and processed
into ‘epochs’ of user selectable length. These data are
stored into an internal non-volatile memory and then
downloaded for analysis at the end of the study period.
Data recorded by the MotionWatch may be downloaded
and analysed off-line using the MotionWare Software
Package.
