MOVEMENT ANALYSIS SYSTEM, WEARABLE MOVEMENT TRACKING SENSORS, AND ASSOCIATED METHODS

摘要

A binodal wireless sensor provides biomechanics feedback focused on movement tracking for the purpose of facilitating enhanced user training and recovery decisions. The sensing device and methods of use differs distinctly from current devices by utilizing a plurality of inertial sensors within a single, non-rigid unit to, among other things, identify a segment's position in space, identify internal movement and stability such as torsion, bending, shear movement, etc. in the segment, and/or between two segments. The unit includes data storage, wireless transmission, rechargeable battery, local processing and data collection sensors. The unit relays data to an intelligent device that provides feedback to the user.

1. A sensor assembly comprising:
a first surface comprising an adhesive material and configured to attach to a user; a second surface comprising a flexible printed circuit board (PCB) with a flexible housing mounted with electronic components; a positioning indicator configured to aid in the proper placement of the sensor assembly on a user; a first sensor supported on the PCB and configured to track motion of certain body segments of a user; and a second sensor supported on the PCB and configured to track motion of certain body segments of a user, whereby the distance between the first sensor and the second sensor is known, wherein the first and second sensors are electrically connected to the PCB and are configured to enable the storage and transfer of the motion data.
