Force and/or motion measurement system that includes at least one kinematic sensor device and at least one data processing device configured to execute computer executable instructions for determining a position and/or movement of a person based upon output data from the at least one kinematic sensor device

A force and/or motion measurement system, comprising:

• at least one kinematic sensor device configured to detect a position and/or movement of a body portion of a person, the at least one kinematic sensor device being mounted in or on a bounding surface of a room;
• and
• at least one data processing device operatively coupled to the at least one kinematic sensor device, the at least one data processing device including at least one hardware component storing computer executable instructions, and the at least one data processing device configured to execute the computer executable instructions, the computer executable instructions comprising instructions for:
• determining a position and/or movement of the person based upon output data from the at least one kinematic sensor device;
• and
• wherein the at least one kinematic sensor device is selected from the group consisting of:
• (i) a sonar-based sensor, (ii) a sensor using wireless network technology, (iii) a LIDAR sensor, (iv) an ultrasonic sensor, and (v) combinations thereof.

A force and/or motion measurement system, comprising:

• a force measurement assembly including:
• a top component for receiving at least a portion of the body of a person;
• and
• at least one force transducer, the at least one force transducer configured to sense one or more measured quantities and output one or more signals that are representative of forces and/or moments being applied to the top component of the force measurement assembly by the person;
• at least one kinematic sensor device configured to detect a position and/or movement of a body portion of the person, the at least one kinematic sensor device being mounted in the force measurement assembly;
• and
• at least one data processing device operatively coupled to the at least one kinematic sensor device and the force measurement assembly, the at least one data processing device including at least one hardware component storing computer executable instructions, and the at least one data processing device configured to execute the computer executable instructions, the computer executable instructions comprising instructions for:
• determining a position and/or movement of the person based upon output data from the at least one kinematic sensor device;
• receiving the one or more signals that are representative of the forces and/or moments being applied to the top component of the force measurement assembly by the person;
• and
• converting the one or more signals into output forces and/or moments.
