A spirometer-type device is described that is designed to improve patient compliance with therapeutic breathing for improved pulmonary function. In an example embodiment, a display of human lungs is provided that visually elevate with inhalation. A patient's progress is visualized with a featured conspicuous level marker and upward motions of lungs that are seen from both sides of the device.

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.

Systems and methods for creating personalized exercise programs are disclosed. An image capture device and a computer device are used to capture images of a user while the user performs athletic movements. The images may then be evaluated to create a human movement screen score. The human movement screen score, goal and time commitment information may then be used to create a personalized exercise program tailored to the specific user.

A uterine activity analysis apparatus, comprising a rendering device at least one controller coupled to the rendering device, and configured to acquire a uterine activity signal (UAS) corresponding to uterine activity of a patient; determine uterine activity information based upon the acquired UAS and render, on the rendering device, content based at least in part including UAS upon the determined uterine activity information. The controller may compare the determined uterine activity information with threshold uterine activity information and provide clinical decision support (CDS) based upon the decision. Furthermore, the controller may render a breathing guide to illustrate a preferred breathing pattern, when the start of a contraction is detected.

An exercise apparatus, system, and method are provided herein, in which an exercise apparatus has a tracking mechanism comprising a gyroscope, processor and transmitter. The user may wear a sensor, for example, on his shoe. The gyroscope detects the position of the exercise apparatus with respect to the sensor, and thus detects the motions made by the user with the apparatus. A mobile device such as a cellular phone may have an application running thereon, which tracks these motions, and notify the user if the user's form is incorrect, and preferably provides an image of the proper form. The exercise apparatus may include wheels with which the exercise apparatus may be rolled.

Tracking and monitoring athletic activity offers individuals with additional motivation to continue such behavior. An individual may track his or her athletic activity by completing goals. These goals may be represented by real-world objects such as food items, landmarks, buildings, statues, other physical structures, toys and the like. Each object may correspond to an athletic activity goal and require an amount of athletic activity to complete the goal. For example, a donut goal object may correspond to an athletic activity goal of burning 350 calories. The user may progress from goal object to goal object. Goal objects may increase in difficulty (e.g., amount of athletic activity required) and might only be available for selection upon completing an immediately previous goal object, a number of goal objects, an amount of athletic activity and the like.

An electromechanical device for simulation of physical exercise with legs and arms includes two pedals mounted on two contiguous pantographs, with parallel supporting arms that are positioned in a predominantly vertical sense, with an orthogonal junction and parallel arms which are articulated, in a predominantly horizontal sense, onto the frame of the device and which always move in opposing directions left and right, through traverses which are articulated on vertical and horizontal axles, respectively, connected to vertical and horizontal parallel bars by means of risers.

A balance training system includes a moving carriage that moves on a moving surface, and a detection unit that detects a load received from training person's feet, and drives a driving unit based on the load's center of gravity of the feet to control movement of the moving carriage. A boarding plate is divided into a front plate on which a toe side of the feet is placed and a rear plate on which a heel side of the feet is placed. The detection unit includes right and left front load sensors, respectively provided with tilts to right and left foot sides, on a rear surface side opposite to the boarding surface of the front plate, and right and left rear load sensors, respectively provided with tilts to the right and left foot sides, on a rear surface side opposite to the boarding surface of the rear plate.

A mark for club head measurement in use for measuring information about a state of a club head of a golf club and provided on the golf club includes a central portion formed with a pattern having a lightness lower than the periphery thereof and a peripheral portion formed with a pattern surrounding the periphery of the central portion and having a lightness higher than the central portion.

Proposed is a posture comparison and correction method using an application configured to check two golf images and result data in an overlapping state, the posture comparison and correction method being capable of analyzing an image of a user captured through a portable device, displaying the swing speed of a golf club, the swing angle of the golf club, the swing form of the golf club, the angle of a head of the golf club, the hitting angle of a golf ball, the speed of the golf ball, the flying distance of the golf ball, and the trajectory of the golf ball on a screen, and comparing the image of the user with an image of a pro golfer transmitted from a server on a single screen, whereby it is possible to correct the posture of the user.
