Systems and methods for real-time data quantification, acquisition, analysis, and feedback

A system for monitoring motion parameters and providing near-instantaneous user feedback from real-time motion sensor data comprising:

• a motion sensor that includes one or more inertial measurement units, wherein the motion sensor includes a plurality of sensors;
• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions;
• and
• one or more processors programmed to execute the stored instructions to:
• load a template motion profile, the template motion profile describing a multi-dimensional representation of acceleration and orientation over time;
• receive real-time sensor data from the motion sensor detachably fixed to a user while a user performs a test motion, wherein the one or more processors receive the real-time sensor data from the motion sensor by:
• receiving real-time sensor data from the plurality of sensors, the sensor data measuring a common metric and being received from each of the plurality of sensors at a common frequency and a unique offset based on the frequency and number of the plurality of sensors, each sensor of the plurality of sensors having a different offset;
• and
• combining the real-time sensor data from the plurality of sensors by interlacing the sensor data, the interlacing resulting in the test motion profile having a sampling rate that is higher than a sampling rate of any one of the plurality of sensors;
• calculate a test motion profile based on the real-time sensor data, the test motion profile describing a multi-dimensional representation of the test motion performed by the user;
• compare the template motion profile to the test motion profile to determine a deviation amount for the test motion profile indicating how the test motion deviated from the template motion profile using one or more of:
• a Fourier transform and a least squares difference calculation;
• and
• provide a graphical user interface that displays, and allows the user to manipulate a viewing angle of, a multi-dimensional rendering of the test motion profile, where the graphical user interface further displays the deviation amount in relation to the multi-dimensional rendering of the test motion profile.
