Patent

CA 2436154

An apparatus (40) for monitoring a force applied to an object by a person includes a support (46') upon which the person stands, and one or more force sensors (60, 62, 64) for detecting the reaction force applied through the person to the support (46') resulting from the application of force to the object. A computing accessory (48) may be included for computing the magnitude of the force, and a display for the result or other output devices may also be provided. A method of monitoring force is also disclosed. The apparatus (40) and method may be used to determine the amount of force applied to an infant during delivery. The apparatus (40) and method may also be used for a broad range of applications requiring measurement of applied force.

L'invention concerne un appareil de surveillance d'une force appliquée sur un objet par une personne, comprenant un support sur lequel se tient la personne, et un ou plusieurs capteurs de force servant à détecter la force de réaction appliquée par l'intermédiaire de la personne au support à partir de l'application d'une force sur l'objet. L'appareil peut comprendre un accessoire de calcul servant à calculer la magnitude de la force, ainsi qu'un affichage pour le résultat ou d'autres dispositifs de sortie. L'invention concerne également un procédé de surveillance de force. L'appareil et le procédé peuvent être utilisés pour déterminer la quantité de force appliquée à un nourrisson au cours de l'accouchement. L'appareil et le procédé peuvent également être utilisés dans une large gamme d'applications dans lesquelles il est nécessaire de mesurer la force appliquée.
