Mobility is a fundamental part of human life. Automation and
modernization in the past 30-50 years has dramatically reduced
the amount of activities of daily living (ADL), and completely changed
our life style and work environment. Sudden changes in physical
activity (ADL)can lead to body imbalance (e.g., energy imbalance) and
diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular dysfunction, and
diabetes.
IDEEA®
-
a portable gait analysis system and physical activity (ADL)
monitor is perfect for measuring activities of
daily living (ADL) such as household work, yard work,
walking, jogging, and other aerobic exercises, and for
quantifying sedentary lifestyle such as home, office, school
environment. The distance traveled, the speed, related EE, the
time period a person is sitting, standing, reclining, or
sleeping, can all be measured, whether he/she is at work, home,
or during exercise or transportation. Since there is no need for
individual calibration, one set of device can be used for
multiple patients during different days. |
