A Multisensor Implant for Continuous Monitoring of Intracranial Pressure Dynamics.

In humans, intracranial pressure (ICP) is not only influenced by pathology, but also by orientation in space and body movements. Therefore, it is proposed to measure ICP dynamics and body acceleration simultaneously. An algorithm for acceleration analysis was developed to monitor orientation in space and allow more accurate examination of ICP dynamics during quiet periods. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
