Abstract:
This paper proposes a novel system for pathological tremor study and diagnosis. The system described called TCA (tremor coherence analyzer) is based on a electronic device developed for wireless monitoring of physiological variables. The device uses Bluetooth technology to communicate. The proposed technique for pathological tremor analysis uses surface EMG signals. The EMG sensors are located on forearm muscles to measure muscular activity due to pathological tremor. The coherence function between these signals is calculated. The application of the coherence function allows to determine linear dependencies between two signals.

Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle
A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...
Assessment of apical pulse
Assessing the apical pulse is a critical nursing procedure, particularly indicated for:
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Assessment of apical radial pulse
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.
