Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to personal therapy and exercise systems as well as to methods related thereto. For example, a personal therapy system can be a modular system that can include multiple therapy gear modules.
Claims44
A modular personal therapy system, comprising:
- a plurality of therapy gear modules, at least a portion of the plurality of therapy gear modules having a selected difficulty setting, the plurality of therapy gear modules including one or more current therapy gear modules usable by a subject;
- one or more sensors positioned and configured to detect one or more therapy conditions while the one or more current therapy gear modules are being used by the subject, the one or more therapy conditions including at least one of an effect experienced by one or more portions of the one or more current therapy gear modules of the plurality of therapy gear modules, change in position of one or more portions of the one or more current therapy gear modules of the plurality of therapy gear modules, a magnitude of force applied to one or more portions of the one or more therapy gear modules, or a direction of force applied to one or more portions of the one or more therapy gear modules;
- and
- a controller including control electrical circuitry that is configured to:
- receive one or more signals from the one or more sensors, the one or more signals being associated with the one or more therapy conditions detected by the one or more sensors;
- identify one or more new therapy gear modules of the plurality of therapy gear modules separate from the one or more current therapy gear modules and inaccessible to the subject responsive to the one or more signals associated with the one or more therapy conditions received from the one or more sensors;
- and
- generate one or more gear access outputs configured to provide the subject access to the one or more new therapy gear modules, wherein the subject has access to the one or more new therapy gear modules only after the controller has generated the one or more gear access outputs to provide the subject the access to the one or more new therapy gear modules.
5 more elements
A method of providing personal therapy to a subject, the method comprising:
- at a controller, receiving one or more signals from one or more sensors configured to detect change in position of one or more portions of one or more current therapy gear modules used by the subject;
- at the controller, identifying one or more new therapy gear modules separate from the one or more current therapy gear modules and inaccessible to the subject responsive to the one or more signals received from the one or more sensors;
- and
- at the controller, generating one or more gear access outputs to provide the subject access to the identified one or more new therapy gear modules, wherein the subject has access to the one or more new therapy gear modules only after the controller has generated the one or more gear access outputs to provide the subject the access to the one or more new therapy gear modules.
