A MOBILE APPARATUS SYSTEM FOR RIGIDITY ASSESSMENT

Abstract

The invention relates to a mobile apparatus system (10) for enabling the numerical measurement of the wrist rigidity of a Parkinsonian patient (600) via a force provider, which includes a mobile device (100) with a capacitive screen (110). Accordingly, the aforementioned force provider (600) shall include a force apparatus to enable the application of a force to the screen (110) of the mobile device (100); (200) a memory unit for storing the force value corresponding to the area occupied by the aforementioned force apparatus (200) on the screen (110); (300) a sensor for measuring the angular displacement value depending on the movement of the mobile device (100) by the force provider (600); (400) a processor unit (500) for receiving data from the aforementioned memory unit (300) and the aforementioned sensor (400); the aforementioned processor unit shall include:It is characterized by being configured to calculate the area occupied by the force apparatus (200) on the screen (110) of the mobile device (100) by the force apparatus (200) applied by the force provider (600) on the screen (110) of the mobile device (100), to receive the force value stored in the predetermined memory unit (300) corresponding to the calculated area, to receive an angular displacement data from the sensor (400) depending on the movement of the mobile device (100), and to calculate a rigidity value depending on the force value received from the memory unit (300) and the angular displacement data received from the sensor (400).
