  • Abstract
    Strain-gauge transducers are a simple and safe means of measuring fetal movement. The transducers do, however, respond to all abdominal movement and thus the measuring instrument must discriminate between maternal and fetal movements. The discrimination may be achieved by choosing an appropriate size for the transducer and also by using an adaptive filter. The success of the adaptive filter is illustrated on real data.
