An apparatus for natural torso and limbs tracking and feedback for electronic interaction with fall safety support. The apparatus comprises a body harness worn on the body of a user, a support structure designed to bear the weight of the user in the event of a stumble, trip, or fall, and a plurality of tethers attached at one end to the harness and at the other end to the support structure. One or more sensors are integrated into the system to measure aspects of the user's movement and used as input to control a computer system. In the event of stumble, trip, or fall, all of, or a portion of, the user's body weight is borne by the tethers as a safety mechanism to prevent injury. The system is designed to be used with virtual reality systems wherein the user's vision is blocked or obscured by a virtual reality visor.

A system for optimizing weight distribution of a golf club including a weight receiving grip, the weight receiving grip configured to be affixed to a proximal end of a golf club shaft, wherein the weight receiving grip comprises a generally tubular member comprising a shaft bore configured to surround a proximal portion of the shaft, wherein the weight receiving grip comprises a weight retention portion at a proximal end of the weight receiving grip, the weight retention portion configured to engage a weight member, a grip expanding tool configured to deflect a portion of the weight receiving grip facilitating installation or removal of the weight members from the weight receiving grip.

A wrist exerciser includes a housing and a gyroscopic member. The housing includes a first cover, a second cover, a supporting portion and a protective assembly. The supporting portion and the protective assembly are disposed between the first cover and the second cover. Two ends of the supporting portion that are opposite to each other are in contact with the first cover and the second cover, respectively. A stiffness of the supporting portion is greater than a stiffness of the protective assembly. The protective assembly includes a rail and a buffer portion that are corresponding to each other. The gyroscopic member includes a ring and a rotor. The ring is slidably disposed on the rail. The rotor includes a ball disposed in the housing and a shaft which penetrates the ball. Two ends of the shaft that are opposite to each other are pivotally connected to the ring.

Embodiments provided herein measure metrics of an athletic action and an object associated therewith, and more particularly, to measuring the metrics and characteristics of a baseball during the wind-up, release, flight, and catch of a pitch sequence. Methods may include: receiving, from at least one motion sensor associated with an object, acceleration data and angular velocity data of the object in response to an athletic action performed on the object; processing the acceleration data to establish vector rotation data between a frame of reference of the object and an Earth frame of reference; applying the vector rotation data to the acceleration data to obtain acceleration of the object in the Earth frame of reference; applying the vector rotation data to the angular velocity data to obtain angular velocity of the object in the Earth frame of reference.

A mouth guard senses impact forces and determines if the forces exceed an impact threshold. If so, the mouth guard notifies the user of the risk for injury by haptic feedback, vibratory feedback, and/or audible feedback. The mouth guard system may also remotely communicate the status of risk and the potential injury. The mouth guard uses a local memory device to store impact thresholds based on personal biometric information obtained from the user and compares the sensed forces relative to those threshold values. The mouth guard and its electrical components on the printed circuit board are custom manufactured for the user such that the mouth guard provides a comfortable and reliable fit, while ensuring exceptional performance.

Disclosed herein are training devices having at least two elastic members connected to a respective end of an inelastic member. The training devices first and second handles coupled to a respective one of the two elastic members. The training devices may be used to add various strength training modalities to a cardiovascular workout or fitness regimen. The training device may be provided in the form of a kit including elastic and inelastic members having differing elasticities, lengths, and widths and including removable handles, potentially of differing types.

Provided is an information processing device including: a sensor data acquisition unit configured to acquire sensor data provided by a sensor worn by a user or mounted on a piece of equipment used by the user; an action detection unit configured to detect an action of the user on a basis of the sensor data, the action including a turn; and an information generation unit configured to generate information regarding the turn.

A walking training apparatus 1 includes a leg robot 2 attached to a leg of a walking trainee, a motor 261 configured to rotationally drive a knee joint 22 of the leg robot 2, a control unit 332 configured to control the motor 261 so that the motor 261 rotationally drives the knee joint 22 in a leg-idling period in a gait motion of the walking trainee, a motor torque detection unit 262 configured to detect a motor torque, the motor torque being a torque generated by the motor 261, and a determination unit 333 configured to determine whether or not the walking trainee is in a spasticity state or a rigidity state by using a value of the motor torque detected in the leg-idling period by the motor torque detection unit 262.

A golf club having a sensor that is removably connected at one or more positions of the golf club where the sensor comprises an inertial measurement unit including an accelerometer capable of measuring linear accelerations in three orthogonal axes and a gyroscope capable of measuring an angular rate of rotation around the same axes. The sensor may further comprise a processor which may perform instructions to detect the impact of the golf club with a golf ball and determine the start of the golf swing without any additional input from the user. The sensor may further have a power management system to extend the life of the power source.
