Method implementing an accelerometer () for detecting asymmetries in a movement of a user, comprising:

Integrated portable device and method implementing an accelerometer for detecting asymmetries in a movement of a user

A method implementing an accelerometer for analyzing biomechanical parameters of a runner's stride. The method includes fastening a device () on the runner that has a triaxial accelerometer (), a chronograph (), a digital processor () and a display (). The method measures a sequence of acceleration data in at least the vertical direction using the accelerometer, while the runner runs a certain distance (D) along a running course. During or at the end the running course, the processor calculates the biomechanical parameters of the stride, including lowering the center of gravity and/or the elevation (E) of the center of gravity and/or the sum of the lowering and of the elevation (E) and/or the vertical mechanical work of the center of gravity, based on the acceleration data, of the distance (D) and a period of time measured by the chronograph (); and displays the parameters.

System and method implementing an accelerometer () for detecting asymmetries in a movement of a user. The system includes a fastening a device () on the torso of the runner, close to his/her center of gravity (CG), the device being electrically self-sufficient and comprising a triaxial accelerometer () and a digital processor (). The accelerometer is used to measure a sequence of acceleration data in at least the vertical direction (a), while the user performs at least one exercise. During or at the end of the exercise, having the processor calculate the biomechanical parameters enabling the detection of at least one asymmetry in a movement of the user, on the basis of the acceleration data.
