Patent ID: 7264554

Claim:
A method for analysis and improvement of a selected athletic motion of an individual, comprising: using a computer-based motion analysis system comprising a processing computer, inertial sensors, a video camera, and a computer-driven display screen; monitoring the execution of an athletic motion of an individual with multiple said inertial sensors mounted on and said camera directed at said individual; collecting sensor data from said sensors and video signal from said camera during the execution of said athletic motion; analyzing the sensor data by processing said sensor data into motion data representing pre-defined selected performance parameters of pre-defined selected components of the athletic motion; and reporting the results of the analyzing in a form comprising a computer generated display of multiple, selectable configurations, one of which includes in a composite, synchronized combination: a replay of said video signal of said body motion, a multi-color, three dimensional animation of said body motion with at least one color-coded body segment, said animation created from said motion data, and a time-based graph of multiple selected said performance parameters of said body motion.
