US 2015/0147733 A1 · APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRAINING MOVEMENTS TO AVOID INJURIES

Abstract

This invention is directed to an apparatus and method for training a user, such as an athlete, a performer and/or any other suitable person, how to avoid injuries to the body, particularly so that there is no need for rehabilitation of an injured body part. At least two parameters of performance are compared to each other and/or to given data or other information, for example information taken from a database. For example, the at least two parameters can include two different distances that are measured and compared with respect to each other. A computer or other processor can run algorithms and/or any other suitable functions to calculate how the user should make a next movement in an accident avoidance training session. One or more next movements can be communicated in a wired manner, a wireless manner and/or any other suitable communication manner. The next movement can be displayed on a graphical user interface device and/or on any other suitable display.

Dependent claims

A method for training a user how to move at least a portion of a body of the user, including the steps of:

sensing a first position of a first part of the body and communicating the first position to a processor;
sensing a second position of the first part and/or a second part of the body and communicating the second position to the processor;
the processor comparing at least one first parameter corresponding to the first position with respect to at least one second parameter corresponding to the second position;
the processor calculating a recommended value as a function of the at least one first parameter relative to the at least one second parameter;
and
communicating the recommended value to the user for modifying a next movement of the body to prevent an injury to the body.
