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 21):
A method, comprising:\n receiving, by a processor of a computer-based motion analysis system, motion data from a plurality of sensors in communication with the processor, the plurality of sensors comprising a plurality of inertial sensors attached at target areas of a body relating to a body motion, and a motion sensor coupled to a handheld movement object and configured to capture object motion data associated with movement of the handheld movement object; determining, by the processor, a range of motion limits for more than one body segment of the body motion based upon calibrating the processor using first motion data received from the inertial sensors for initial alignment and orientation of each respective target area of the body; receiving, by the processor, second motion data for the more than one body segment from the inertial sensors during execution of the body motion; comparing, by the processor, the second motion data to the determined range of motion limits for the more than one body segment and signaling when any of the limits exceeds the determined range of motion limits; 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, and at least one of the object motion data and the values associated with the handheld movement object; and determining, by the processor, one or more values associated with movement of the handheld movement object based on the object motion data, 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 more than one body segment comprises 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.
