Abstract:
A system and method for analyzing and improving the performance of a body motion of an animal or human subject requires instrumenting a subject with inertial sensors, monitoring a body motion of interest, converting sensor data into motion data and animation, comparing the motion data with existing data for motion related performance parameters, providing a real-time, information rich, animation and data display of the results in color coded displays; and based on the results prescribing a training regime with exercises selected from a library of standardized exercises using standardized tools and training aids.

Claim (Index 27):
A method for analysis of a body motion of an animal or human subject, comprising:\n using a computer-based motion analysis system comprising a plurality of sensors in communication with a processor connected to a computer-driven display screen, the plurality of sensors comprising a plurality of inertial sensors being attached at target areas of a body relating to a body motion, and at least one motion sensor coupled to a handheld movement object at a first location of the handheld movement object and configured to capture object motion data associated with movement of the handheld movement object; calibrating the inertial sensors for initial alignment and orientation of each respective target area of the body; setting a range of motion limits for at least two body segments of said body motion; monitoring the execution of said body motion with the motion analysis system; collecting sensor data from said inertial sensors; processing said sensor data so as to generate a graphical user interface configured to display an animation and motion data representing the body motion of said subject on the display screen, comparing, by the processor, the generated motion data to existing motion data for the at least two body segments and signaling to the user when said limits are exceeded; and comparing, by the processor, the generated motion data to the existing motion data and calculating performance parameters related to the body motion; determining, by the processor, one or more values associated with movement of the handheld movement object based on the object motion data; and generating, by the processor, using the second motion data, a graphical user interface configured to display an animation of the user, the second motion data representing the execution of said body motion, wherein the graphical user interface is configured to display at least one of the object motion data and the values associated with movement of the handheld movement object, wherein the at least two body segments comprise at least two of a head segment, a neck segment, a thorax segment, a shoulder segment, an upper arm segment, a forearm segment, a hand segment, a pelvis segment, a leg segment, and a foot segment, wherein the signaling is biofeedback to the user in the form of a tone or a color that differs between a successful execution of the body motion and an unsuccessful execution of the body motion.
