Method and equipment for polysegmental body composition estimation

Objectives: The ain of this work is to allow the possibility of polysegmental body composition by bioimpedance measurements for all body regions simultancously in the monitoring mode with minimization og applied elektrodes number. Methods: Tetrapolar method of bioimpedance measurements was modified for analyze of polysegmental objects having star-type structure. Body regions bioimpedance parameters are measured with employmeht of automatical separate communitation of injecting and potential electrodes, which are positioned at the distant ends of the limbs. In addition to segmental bioimpedances the dimensiones o…
