Assignee: PLETHY, INC.
Field: Medical technology (Instruments)
Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 0:
1. A system for assessing movement of one or more body portions, comprising:
one or more inertial sensors positioned on one or more body portions;
a processor communicatively coupled to the one or more inertial sensors; and a memory, coupled to the processor, configured to store program instructions, wherein, when executed by the processor, the program instructions cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
via a joint-sensor model:
receiving a sensor signal using the one or more inertial sensors, the sensor signal indicative of movement of the one or more body portions over a time period,
analyzing the sensor signal of the one or more body portions to determine a movement of the one or more body portions, and
determining a sensor confidence level based, at least in part, on a characteristic of the sensor signal over the time period; and

via a posture model:
selecting the sensor signal as an input based on the sensor confidence level,
tracking movement changes of the one or more body portions over the time periods;
analyzing the input and the movement changes to determine a movement pattern of the one or more body portions;
determining, based on the movement pattern, an indication of a degree of abnormaility of a joint movement or a muscle weakness; and
outputting the movement pattern and the indication to a user.
