accelerometers and gyroscope to control arm?

Hello all. How can I use accelerometers to keep a robot's arm parallel to the ground? My initial thought process was to use the accelerometers to measure acceleration due to gravity, and if it felt any, then make the motors move the arm the opposite way. Does this seem about right? And can this be done with one accelerometer? Thanks in advance!
