Involuntary Tremor Analysis based on the Accelerometric Measurements

Abstract

Many neurological disorders are associated with an involuntary, rhythmic oscillation of a certain moving body part called tremor. A measuring system using an accelerometer sensor has been designed and constructed to measure, quantify and analyze these oscillations. The acquired data is displayed real-time and further processed within the developed software application. It allows determining the dominant tremor frequency information, which is one of the main diagnostic parameters.
