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 35):
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 inertial sensors in communication with a processor connected to a computer-driven display screen; attaching the inertial sensors to the body of an animal or human subject of interest at target areas of the body relating to a body motion of interest; 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; 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 arm 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, and wherein the inertial sensors are attached to at least one body appliance.
