Systems and methods for real-time data quantification, acquisition, analysis and feedback
This disclosure relates to systems, media, and methods for quantifying and monitoring exercise parameters and/or motion parameters, including performing data acquisition, analysis, and providing scientifically valid, clinically relevant, and/or actionable diagnostic feedback. Disclosed embodiments may receive real-time sensor data from a motion sensor or sensors mounted on a user and/or equipment while a user performs a test motion. Disclosed embodiments may also 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 or computed motion profiles. Disclosed embodiments may include comparing the test motion profile to a template motion profile to determine a deviation amount for the test motion profile indicating how the test motion deviated from the template motion profile. Still further embodiments may correlate test motion profiles over time with health indicators.
EXERCISE ANALYZING DEVICE, EXERCISE ANALYZING SYSTEM, AND EXERCISE ANALYZING METHOD
An exercise analyzing device (a swing analyzing device) includes an acquiring section (a data acquiring section) configured to acquire an output of a first inertial sensor (an acceleration sensor and an angular velocity sensor) attached to a body of a user and an output of a second inertial sensor (an acceleration sensor and an angular velocity sensor) attached to an exercise instrument (a golf club), an analyzing section (a swing analyzing section) configured to analyze a correlation or a similarity degree between the output of the first inertial sensor and the output of the second inertial sensor and generate reference information, and an output processing section configured to estimate, when the second inertial sensor is not used, the output of the second inertial sensor from the output of the first inertial sensor and the reference information.
GOLF PRACTICE CLUB WITH GRIP FORCE DETECTION
A golf practice club with grip force detection function is provided, including a golf club and a club head. The golf club includes a grip handle with a printed circuit board (PCB) inside; a pressure detection circuit is arranged on the PCB; the pressure detection circuit includes a pressure sensor, an analogue-to-digital converter (ADC), a processor, a switch circuit, a pressure detection circuit, a pressure value compliance analysis circuit, and a power circuit. The pressure sensor transmits pressure information to the processor through the ADC; the processor controls the pressure detection circuit through the switch circuit; and the pressure detection circuit controls the pressure value compliance analysis circuit. The golf practice club has a reasonable structure, diverse functions, and is easy to use. It helps golfers practice their swing and stabilize hitting force, thereby quickly mastering the golf club swing.
SOMATOSENSORY DEVICE
A somatosensor device comprises a handle (10) having a hollow free end (130) to form a cavity (133) with an opening in a tail end surface (131); a wireless charging circuit board (30) overlapped on the tail end surface (131); a tracker (50) fixed on the wireless charging circuit board (30) and electrically connected with same, the tracker (50) inserted into the cavity (133) as the wireless charging circuit board (30) is overlapped on the tail end surface (131); and an end cap (70) covered on the free end (130) of the handle(10), so as to seal the cavity (133) with the opening in the tail end surface (131). The configuration takes account of the sealability and wireless charging.
