Abstract
The way how someone is sitting down or standing up from a chair tells us a lot about his motion, as when sitting down or standing up his muscles, joints, knees and hip are working hard. Improper working of these kinds of abilities and organs can be detected by observing and analysing these processes of motion. For example the falling back and asymmetric load on the legs are the signs of these kinds of disorder. The process of sitting down and standing up can be analysed easily and simply by the tool which was developed by us and which includes the hardware, software and signal processing algorithms. Moreover no special prerequisites are needed during the use of this tool. The appliance was tested on a small-medium sized population (few dozens of humans).
