Abstract
A garment and sensor system for determining a posture of an individual, the garment and sensor system including a garment, a retention element coupled to the garment, and a sensor module configured to be coupled to the retention element, the sensor module including a sensor configured to generate orientation data and a transceiver configured to transmit the orientation data generated by the sensor, wherein the garment and sensor system is configured to determine a posture of at least a portion of the individual and to display a graphical comparison of the posture to a target posture.
Claims21
A system for determining a force characteristic associated with an individual, the system comprising:
- a sensor module configured to be physically coupled to the individual, the sensor module comprising an acceleration sensor;
- a garment to couple the sensor module to the individual, the garment comprising a textile material, wherein at least a portion of the sensor module is configured to flex with the textile material;
- and
- an interface configured to receive, via a display of a portable electronic device, data representative of a mass of at least a portion of the individual;
- the system being configured to determine at least one of an orientation or magnitude of a force based on acceleration data received from the acceleration sensor and the data representative of the mass.
A method for determining a force characteristic associated with an individual, the method comprising:
- providing a garment coupled to a sensor module to the individual, the sensor module comprising an acceleration sensor, at least a portion of the sensor module being printed on a thermoplastic polymer patch of the garment;
- and
- entering, via a display of a portable electronic device, data representative of a mass of at least a portion of the individual;
- and
- receiving, via the display of the portable electronic device, at least one of an orientation or magnitude of a force determined based on acceleration data received from the acceleration sensor and the data representative of the mass.
