Ambulatory monitoring

Muscle dysfunction and poor performance can have a major impact on mobility in daily life, often leading to inactivity and disuse of the muscle skeletal system. The HPL has developed ambulatory sensor systems to objectively monitor activities of daily life. The CAM is an activity monitor that discriminates between non-weight bearing and weight bearing postures as well as physical activities (e.g. walking, cycling). It is used to monitor time spent on sedentary and physical activities in people suffering from chronic disease, who typically lead an inactive life style. The CAM can also be used to promote a more active lifestyle.
