The physician is often seeking more efficient ways of performing patient assessments. Currently, measuring tremor frequency requires expensive and bulky equipment. We propose the use of the in-built accelerometer of the iPhone via the iSeismo application for rapid measurement of tremor frequency. We use this device in a series of 7 different tremor cases, and show that the frequency measurements on the iSeismo graph closely match the more sophisticated EMG analysis during tremor. This is a preliminary confirmation of the usefulness of this device in the clinical setting for quick assessment of the dominant frequency component in a variety of tremors.
医生经常在寻找更有效的方法来进行患者评估。目前，测量震颤频率需要昂贵且庞大的设备。我们建议使用 iPhone 内置的加速度计通过 iSeismo 应用程序来快速测量震颤频率。我们在 7 种不同的震颤病例中使用了此设备，并表明 iSeismo 图谱上的频率测量值与震颤时更复杂的肌电图分析非常吻合。这初步证实了该设备在临床环境中用于快速评估各种震颤中主导频率分量的有用性。
