ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a device for producing measuring data relating to the movements of the abdominal wall of a person, comprising at least one first pair of sensor units which are configured for detachably fixing to the skin on an abdominal area of a person, a first distance apart; and a measuring device which is connected to said first pair of sensor units and which is configured for picking up signals of the sensor units that can be evaluated electrically and for producing a first distance signal corresponding to the first distance and to changes thereto. An evaluating unit is connected downstream of said measuring device. This evaluating unit is configured for evaluating pulsed and/or waved changes in the first distance signal, in such a way that non-periodical or periodical signal changes lasting at least 10 seconds, preferably more than 30 seconds, are detected, distinguished from periodical changes caused by human breathing by their frequency, amplitude or signal form, and output in the form of a display signal which can be displayed electronically or evaluated further.
