Abstract

A sensing device for measuring movement along linear/arc path, being adapted to adhere to a body, is capable of determining specific movements of the body, which comprises: at least a two-axis accelerometer, for detecting accelerations measured along a first direction and a second direction and thus issuing a sensing signal corresponding to the detection; a signal processor, for processing the sensing signal received thereby and thus providing a data of acceleration; and a means of measurement, capable of determining and measuring a linear/arc movement of the body with respect to the data of acceleration.
