    摘要: A non-invasive cardiac monitoring device for calculating the cardiac performance parameters of heartbeat, stroke volume, and cardiac output for an individual. The device receives a plurality of electrocardiogram waveform signals from the individual and selects the R-wave component having the maximum value of the electrocardiogram waveform signals and the T-wave component having the maximum value of the electrocardiogram waveforms. From these values, the stroke volume of the individual and the cardiac output of the individual may be calculated according to the equation: Stroke Volume=6.times.R(max.)/T(max.)+26.0. The periodicity of subsequent electrocardiogram waveforms are utilized to calculate the cardiac performance of the individual.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for defining and determining a value for an anaerobic capacity parameter is disclosed. The anaerobic capacity parameter is defined as the time required to completely deplete the subject's anaerobic capacity given maximum mechanical exertion by the subject under controlled conditions. A value for the anaerobic capacity parameter for a subject is generated via a testing system. The testing system includes an exercise device (12), a power characteristic sensor (14), and a processing unit (16). The exercise device (12) includes a movable component, the movement of which can represent a measurement of distance. The exercise device creates a load on the subject. The power characteristic sensor (14) is used to sense the movement of the movable component and the load imposed on the subject. Power characteristic data, e.g., movement and load data, are generated by the power characteristic sensor. The processing unit (16) is connected to the power characteristic sensor (14) such that power characteristic data and control signals are transferred therebetween. The improvement in the testing system is the inclusion of a main control program in the processing unit ( 16). The main control program controls the recording of power characteristic data over a test period. A set of power values indicative of the power required to move the movable component is derived from the power characteristic data. An anaerobic capacity value is determined by analyzing the logarithmic decay of the derived power values. The time to completely deplete a logarithmic function approximating the derived power values is the anaerobic capacity value. Values for parameters such as will power, total power, and power potential are also derived from the analysis.

    摘要: New disability testing and evaluation software combined with an isometric strength testing machine provides a very complete and standardized means of determining disability in comparison with the norms of the general population. The software utilizes not only the machine but also the digitization of photographs taken of the subject person during each strength test. Combining the digitized photographic data, the force monitor information from the load cell of the machine and extensive anthropomorphic data the software calculates for loading of the weakest joint in the subject person and compares this loading to normative values from the general population. In this manner a percentage disability for a subject person can be calculated with reasonable assurance of the validity and reproducibility of the result. New specialized hand grips for an isometric strength testing machine are disclosed to test grip strength and torsional strength of the hand.

    摘要: The Heat Stress Calculator is a manually operated, mechanical computer and program for determining human thermal discomfort or heat stress, reported as an equivalent heat stress temperature (HST), for any given summer air temperature, relative humidity, wind velocity, sky condition, time-of-day, terrain, and individual physical activity level. The calculator consists of six circular and partial discs concentrically mounted for adjustment of their scales by rotation to various positions relative to each other and to stationary front and back windowed panels. The Heat Stress Temperature is the equivalent air temperature under standard moderate thermal and activity conditions that would result in the same heat stress produced by the actual conditions experienced. Under these standard conditions, the equivalent heat stress temperature represents a constant sweat rate--sweating being a principle indicator of thermal discomfort--and is read from isohids (lines of constant sweating) plotted on a grid of the body's heat load which must be dissipated by the evaporation of sweat, to the environment's cooling capacity to perform this evaporation. The body's evaporative heat load requirement is computed as the sum of heat generated by the level of physical activity plus solar heat gain, less heat loss by convection. Solar heat is computed by aligning the observed sky condition with the time-of-day, and then adjusting for terrain. Convective cooling is computed by aligning wind velocity with the observed air temperature (line) on a wind velocity-convective cooling grid. The environment's evaporative cooling capacity is computed by setting wind velocity, and then aligning relative humidity with the observed air temperature (line) on a humidity-evaporative cooling capacity grid.

    摘要: An electronic ergometer for cardiac arrhythmia patients is disclosed, and it is capable of determining and indicating the magnitude of power developed by an individual. In addition, it can indicate the power at which a cardiac arrhythmia occurs. In one embodiment of the invention, the electronic ergometer is capable of storing the magnitude of power developed by the patient at which the cardiac arrhythmia occurred. The device consists of various electronic components encased in a simple housing attached to the belt, or other clothing, of the patient. It is used by the patient during physical activity, in order to monitor the work and power of the patient. In addition, since an electrocardiogram sensor is provided, the unit sounds an alarm when a cardiac arrhythmia occurs. This advises the patient to cease his working and to rest.

    摘要: A device for measuring the rate of speed or distance covered by a person moving or running in place including a generator producing an electrical pulse each time a football is made, a device for calculating the rate at which the pulses occur, and a device for indicating the calculated rate. For distance measurements, a preset distance-factoring device can be adjusted so as to provide an indication of the distance covered between successive electrical pulses in accordance with the characteristic of the moving individual, and a counting device for counting up the number of electrical pulses in accordance with the factor. In an alternative embodiment, high-frequency generators can be used along with a counting device for digitally accumulating electrical pulses in accordance with the interval between footfalls; and a device for producing an electrical pulse amplitude in accordance with the number of pulses representing the intrafootfall spacing, and indicating the rate and distance covered thereby.
