Abstract
In one embodiment, a conditioning apparatus for conditioning a user includes a target, and an illumination source spaced apart from the target. The illumination source is configured to project a light upon the target for use in response to movement of the user.
Claims11
A conditioning apparatus for conditioning a part of the body of a user, the apparatus comprising:
- a target having a continuous uninterrupted traceable movement pattern shaped to correspond to a natural range of motion of the part of the body of the user;
- and
- an illumination source worn on the part of the body and configured to project a light upon the traceable movement pattern
- as a continuous visual reference point provided by the light projected on the traceable movement pattern in response to a movement of the part of the body of the user tracing the continuous uninterrupted traceable movement pattern.

A method for conditioning a part of the body of a user, the method comprising:
- positioning a target having a traceable movement pattern shaped to correspond to a natural range of motion of the part of the body of the user;
- spacing apart from the target an illumination source worn on the part of the body and configured to project a light;
- projecting the light from the illumination source onto the traceable movement pattern;
- and
- tracing the traceable movement pattern with the light in response to a movement of the part of the body of the user.
2 more elements
A conditioning apparatus for conditioning a body portion of a user, the apparatus comprising:
- a target having a traceable movement pattern shaped to correspond to a natural range of motion of the body portion of the user;
- an illumination source configured to project a light upon the traceable movement pattern;
- a visual reference point provided by the light projected on the traceable movement pattern in response to a movement of the body portion of the user tracing the traceable movement pattern;
- a processing system having a processing program and access to the storage device;
- and
- a computer readable medium having executable instructions thereon to direct the processing program when used by the processing system to display the electronic data as a visual representation of the movement of the light upon the traceable movement pattern,
- wherein the traceable movement pattern is light sensitive and configured to convert the light received from the illumination source into electronic data, and
- wherein the traceable movement pattern is in communication with a storage device for storing the electronic data.
