Sensor data are obtained for an activity performed by a user. The sensor data include data from one or more sensors in one or more grips gripped by the user's left hand and the user's right hand during the activity. The sensor data are analyzed to identify a difference in performance of the activity between the left side of the user's body and the right side of the user's body. Feedback is provided to the user to compensate for the difference.

A dexterity testing apparatus includes a housing and a sensor. The housing is configured to be manipulated with digits of one hand of a user. The sensor is supported by the housing and configured to generate user dexterity data based upon changes in acceleration and orientation of the housing as the housing moves relative to the digits of the one hand of the user. The sensor is configured to convert the user dexterity data into an output signal indicative of the user's dexterity.

A sports ball system for calculating movement characteristics has a sports ball. The sports ball monitors movement characteristics of the sports ball. A plurality of wearable devices is worn by a batter whom the sports ball is being thrown towards. At least one of the plurality of wearable devices receiving and displaying data transmitted by the sports ball and a remaining plurality of wearable devices recording data relating to movement of the batter.

A handgrip device has a palm rest operable to engage with a palm of a user, a grip bar moveably coupled with the palm rest and operable to engage with one or more fingers of a user. One or more force transducers can be disposed between the palm rest and the grip bar to measure a compression rate and the return rate of the grip bar relative to the palm rest, and a data connection operable to communicate the compression rate and the return rate.

A device and method for detecting control-point activation conditions corresponding to a portion of a glove body coming in contact with or being within a threshold distance from at least one of another portion of the glove body or a control surface separate from the glove body. The glove may include a conductive path attached to the glove body and an expanded conductive area conductively coupled to the conductive path and attached to the glove body. The expanded conductive area may be wider than individual portions of the conductive path.

Devices, methods and systems related to the assessment and therapy of neurological conditions and dexterous hand function in particular. For example, some embodiments can relate to devices comprising a first portion of flexible material and forming a cavity; a second portion non-flexible material; a PCB coupled to the second portion; and wherein a portion of an edge of the first portion is configured to create a semi-hermetic seal with at least a portion of an edge of the second portion and the PCB has connected thereto a pressure sensor, a wireless transceiver, and a power storage unit.

Methods and apparatus related to wearable devices (150) worn at a location on a user's body, which in response to execution of processor-executable instructions (120) detect for the user pose or motion and pose at location proximate to or more distally disposed to the wearable device (150). The apparatus (100) includes a wearable user interface device. The wearable device (150) via an associated processor (104) detects, at least, volume changes in a user's limb. The wearable device (150) generates gesture information from, at least one of, myographic force data, proximity data, and inertial measurement data. The wearable device (150) may be included in a larger apparatus (100). The wearable device (150) or larger apparatus (100) may include methods of operation in which at least one processor (105) generates gesture and/or extremity information and takes at least one tangible action based on the information.

The present disclosure relate to a method for setting a difficulty level of training contents and an electronic device implementing the same. A method for setting a difficulty level of training according to various embodiments of the present disclosure includes: checking a first reference value, which is a preset difficulty level for a first session, if the user wants to perform a training motion of the first session; providing the user with training contents corresponding to the checked first reference value during the first session; collecting the user's training details of the training performed during the first session; setting an increased difficulty level based on a second reference value, which is a preset difficulty level for a second session and the user's training details collected during the first session, if the user wants to perform a motion of the second session; and providing the user with training contents corresponding to the set increased difficulty level during the second session.

A system, method and apparatus for diagnosis and therapy. Preferably, the system, method and apparatus is provided for diagnosis and therapy of neurological and/or neuromuscular deficits by using a computational device. Optionally and preferably, the system, method and apparatus track one or more physical movements of the user, which are then analyzed to determine whether the user has one or more neurological and/or neuromuscular deficits. Additionally or alternatively, the system, method and apparatus induce the user to perform one or more physical movements, whether to diagnose such one or more neurological and/or neuromuscular deficits, to treat such one or more neurological and/or neuromuscular deficits, or a combination thereof.

A device and method of observing mental condition of a user by interacting with an improved swatch of chain mail mesh that comprises interconnecting, polygonal plastic links suitably interconnected to define a sheet having each of the interconnecting, polygonal links having at least one degree of freedom of movement in at least one direction with respect to its neighbouring polygonal links wherein each of the interconnecting, polygonal links, interconnected to at least one neighbouring interconnecting polygonal link, combine to form an operative upper surface and an operative lower surface of the sheet, and wherein at least a portion of at least one of the operative upper surface and the operative lower surface of the sheet generally feels generally smooth with gaps, which produce a calming or pleasing effect when contacted with or moved over, or combinedly contacted with and moved over a human's body portion which being apt to sense of touch. The sheet has a predetermined drape coefficient, nonlinear motion, and is capable of providing relief in stress or pleasure when a human employs the same. The device is a fidget toy, and when used during observation a diagnosis and a therapy tool.
