System and method for characterizing biomechanical activity

A method for identifying movement activity of a user, comprising:

• receiving a plurality of kinematic raw data streams from a plurality of sensors, the plurality of sensors positioned adjacent to different regions of the user;
• normalizing the plurality of kinematic raw data streams into a plurality of normalized data streams;
• generating a set of biomechanical primitives based on the plurality of normalized data streams;
• and
• controlling a user feedback device based on the set of biomechanical primitives.

A system for classifying activity of a user comprising:

• a plurality of sensors positioned adjacent to different locations of the user and operative to collect a plurality of kinematic raw data streams;
• a user feedback device;
• and
• a processor operative to:
• normalize the plurality of kinematic raw data streams into a plurality of normalized data streams;
• generate a set of biomechanical primitives based on the plurality of normalized data streams;
• and
• control the user feedback device based on the set of biomechanical primitives.
