Abstract
Balance measurement systems and methods thereof include at least one measurement device or indicator and an unstable or dynamic device or surface or other balance device. In example forms, the at least one measurement device is generally removably mounted to a portion of the body of a user (and/or to a portion of the balance device) such that the movements and body behavior of a user (and/or the balance device) can be measured as the user attempts to balance on the balance device. According to one example form, the unstable device includes a suspended rope or slackline. According to other example forms, the balance device includes a generally unstable platform.
Claims20
A balance measurement system comprising:
- one or more measuring devices to be worn or generally removably coupled to a user;
- and
- a dynamic or unstable device or surface, the user attempting to balance on the device or surface while the one or more measuring devices obtain measurements produced by movement of the user reacting to the dynamic or unstable device or surface that the user is attempting to balance on.
A system for measuring the movement and behavior of a user balancing comprising:
- a balancing device;
- at least one component coupled to the user or balancing device;
- a measurement system to track in real time the movement and behavior of the at least one component while the user balances on the balancing device.
