An electromechanical device for rehabilitation includes pedals coupled to radially-adjustable couplings, an electric motor coupled to the pedals via the radially-adjustable couplings, and a control system including a processing device operatively coupled to the electric motor. The processing device configured to, responsive to a first trigger condition occurring, control the electric motor to operate in a passive mode by independently driving the radially-adjustable couplings rotationally coupled to the pedals. The processing device also configured to, responsive to a second trigger condition occurring, control the electric motor to operate in an active-assisted mode by measuring revolutions per minute of the radially-adjustable couplings, and cause the electric motor to drive the radially-adjustable couplings when the measured revolutions per minute satisfy a threshold condition, and responsive to a third trigger condition occurring, control the electric motor to operate in a resistive mode by providing resistance to rotation of the radially-adjustable couplings.

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.

In a measurement unit, a primary acceleration sensor is fixed at the center of gravity of a flying object or at a position within a certain error range from the center of gravity. A secondary acceleration sensor is fixed inside the flying object so as to be spaced from the center of gravity of the flying object. In a measurement apparatus, an acquirer acquires a primary acceleration measured by the primary acceleration sensor during flight of the flying object and a secondary acceleration measured by the secondary acceleration sensor during the flight of the flying object. An estimator estimates a spin rate per unit time of the flying object from the acquired primary acceleration and the acquired secondary acceleration using maximum likelihood estimation.

A foot sole pressure measurement instrument includes a measurement unit which is installed on a foot sole part of a subject and measures a pressure applied to the foot sole part of the subject, and an output unit configured to output data of the measured pressure.
