Abstract
A method and system for evaluating movement of a user and providing biofeedback including setting a reference point for movement by the user, whereby the reference point corresponds to a reference rhythm, providing the reference rhythm to the user to assist the user in maintaining the reference point, sensing the user's movement, comparing the user's movement to the reference point movement, and alerting the user that the user's movement is away from the reference point by modifying the reference rhythm to a modified rhythm. The user's movement is corrected after receiving the alert.
Claims60
A method for evaluating movement of a user and providing biofeedback comprising:
- setting a reference point for movement by the user, whereby the reference point corresponds to a reference rhythm;
- providing the reference rhythm to the user to assist the user in maintaining the reference point;
- sensing the user's movement;
- comparing the user's movement to the reference point movement;
- and
- alerting the user that the user's movement is away from the reference point by modifying the reference rhythm to a modified rhythm.
The method of claim 18 wherein a session comprises a number of movements by the user or a distance gained by the user, the method further comprising the steps of:
- alerting the user that the user's movement is away from the reference point by modifying the reference rhythm;
- maintaining the modified rhythm until the movement is corrected;
- and
- altering the rhythm back to the reference rhythm after correction of the user's movement;
- and
- repeating the steps until the session is complete.
A method for evaluating speech of a user and providing biofeedback comprising:
- setting a reference point for speech by the user, whereby the reference point corresponds to a reference rhythm;
- providing the reference rhythm to the user to assist the user in maintaining the reference point;
- sensing the user's speech;
- comparing the user's speech to the reference point rhythm;
- and
- alerting the user that the user's speech is away from the reference point by modifying the reference rhythm to a modified rhythm.
A system for evaluating movement of a user and providing biofeedback comprising:
- a component for providing rhythm to the user;
- a component for setting a reference rhythm;
- one or more sensors for sensing movement of the user;
- wherein the component for providing rhythm alters the reference rhythm upon incorrect movement of the user to alert the user to the incorrect movement;
- and
- wherein altering the reference rhythm comprises modifying the reference rhythm to a modified rhythm.
