INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing our motion sensing product
MPOD
.
This user manual was written to familiarize you with the use of this system. Read it carefully in
order to rightfully use the device. Always have this guide near you when you use this product.
The MPOD is an electronic recording device with wireless transmission. It was conceived to provide
“movement signature” of a body segment in real time and without cable connection.
Its main purpose is to record and/or compare a series of motion exercises: Series of rehabilitation
exercises with prior exercises, movement amplitudes gestures protocols etc… carried out for limb
rehabilitation (for example of joint movement).
MPOD only gives information related to the orientation of a patient’s part of body.
Any other use must be avoided.
This product designed and manufactured by Movea, is well adapted for biomechanical applications,
rehabilitation and joint assessment in physical therapy. For this reason, it must be used in a
controlled environment, at a practice office, and by qualified personnel. The user of MPOD must
have red and understood this notice.
The MPOD System is provided with software that must be the only software solution to be used with
this product. For customers willing to manufacture a product based on the MPOD system, please
make sure the person in charge of using the MotionPod system is fully trained.

MPOD is standard wristwatch-sized sensor with a transparent casing that embodies the Motion
sensing component on the upper side (Figure 3). It is intended to be worn on the moving part of the
body where we want to perform motion measurement. It must be fixed mechanically by means of
straps or bracelets (not provided) via the transparent mechanical interface.
