Abstract

Disclosed is a wearable physical therapy data collection system. The system includes a wearable support having a waistband and at least one motion detector assembly. The motion detector assembly includes a femoral strut extending between a superior end and an inferior end; a polyaxial connection between the superior end and the waistband; and hip sensors in motion sensing communication with the polyaxial connection, configured to capture data reflecting movement of the femur with respect to the hip in the medial—lateral direction, anterior—posterior direction and rotation of the femur. A tibial strut may extend between the inferior end and a polyaxial connection to a foot attachment. Sensors may be provided to capture data reflecting tibial rotation, and flexion, extension, rotation and pronation of the foot. Separate left and right motion detectors enable collection of bilateral data, to identify bilateral imbalances and monitor rehabilitation progress.

Abstract

Disclosed is a technical training garment configured for use with modular, interchangeable electronics and resistance modules. The garment provides resistance to movement throughout an angular range of motion and tracks biomechanical parameters such as stride length, stride rate, angular velocity and incremental power expended by the wearer. The garment may be low profile, and worn by a wearer as a primary garment or beneath or over conventional clothing. Alternatively, the device may be worn as a supplemental training tool during conventional training protocols.

Abstract

A wearable device such as a garment is disclosed, having at least one resistance element at a motion segment such as a hip or knee. The garment includes at least one sensor, for sensing a parameter. Electronics are provided for processing the sensed parameter, and for providing feedback. Feedback may be in the form of proprioceptive tactile or audible feedback, or in the form of an adjustment of a performance parameter of the wearable device. In one implementation, resistance to movement of the wearer is adjusted up or down in response to changes in power output by the wearer.
