    摘要: Disclosed embodiments describe techniques for motion analysis based on human body mounted sensors. The motion analysis is based on human body mounted sensors using mapping and motion analysis. The wearable sensors include inertial measurement sensors, muscle activation sensors, stretch sensors, or linear displacement sensors. Data is obtained from two or more sensors attached to a body part of an individual, where the two or more sensors enable collection of motion data of the body part, and where the two or more sensors include at least one inertial measurement unit (IMU) and at least one sensor determining muscle activation. The data is processed to determine locations of each of the two or more sensors. The locations of each of the two or more sensors are mapped into a coordinate reference system. The mapping is provided to a motion analysis system. Additional data is obtained to further calculate body part motion.

    摘要: Disclosed embodiments describe techniques for body analysis based on wearable sensors on an individual. The body analysis is based on movement assessment metric usage. The wearable sensors include muscle activity sensors, skeletal movement sensors, stretch sensors, inertial measurement sensors, or linear displacement sensors. Data is obtained from a wearable muscle activity sensor. Muscle activity over a time period is determined using the data obtained from the wearable muscle activity sensor. A movement assessment metric is calculated based on the muscle activity over the time period. The movement assessment can include body posture symmetry. The movement assessment metric is output, where the outputting can include displaying an animation of the muscle activity in a context of an overall body. The movement assessment can comprise an ergonomic assessment for the individual.

    摘要: Disclosed embodiments describe techniques for body part biomarker and consistency pattern generation using motion analysis. Sensors are attached to a body part of an individual, where the sensors enable collection of motion data of the body part, and where the sensors include at least one inertial measurement unit (IMU) and at least one sensor determining muscle activation. Data is collected from the sensors, where the sensors provide electrical information based on a microexpression of movement of the body part during a movement performance protocol. Processors are used to analyze the electrical information from the sensors. Biomarker information for the individual is generated using the analyzing of the electrical information from the movement performance protocol. Additional data is collected from a subsequent attaching of sensors to the body part of the individual and the additional data is analyzed. Consistency pattern information is generated from the biomarkers.

    摘要: Disclosed embodiments describe techniques for body part motion analysis using kinematics. Two or more sensors, which include stretch sensors or inertial sensors, are attached to a body part of an individual. The two or more sensors enable collection of motion data of the body part. Data is collected from the two or more sensors, where the two or more sensors provide electrical information based on a micro-expression of movement of the body part. One or more processors are used for analyzing the electrical information from the two or more sensors. A movement biomarker is generated for the individual, using the electrical information that was analyzed. Subsequent data is collected from a subsequent attaching of the sensors to a body part. The subsequent data is analyzed to generate a longitudinal movement biomarker for the individual. The longitudinal movement biomarker can be used for clinical evaluation or treatment planning.

    摘要: Disclosed embodiments describe techniques for body part motion analysis. A stretch sensor is attached to a body part. Tape can be applied to the body part, and the stretch sensor can be attached to the tape using connectors, hooks, snaps, or Velcro™. The stretch sensor changes electrical characteristics as it stretches. A sensor coupled to the stretch sensor collects changes in electrical characteristics based on motion of the body part. A communication unit provides information from the sensor to a receiving unit. Motion of the body part is shown on a display. The displayed body part can be an animation and can be displayed in the context of an overall body. The stretch sensor is used for measuring body part motion. An inertial measurement unit provides augmented motion information. The stretch sensor senses muscle activities such as muscle activation and deformation and provides movement angle, force and torque evaluation.

    摘要: Disclosed embodiments provide a way to perform body measurements. A garment has a sensor module attached. The garment encompasses a body portion. The sensor module is stretchable and provides electrical data. The electrical data is based on an amount that the sensor module is stretched. The electrical data from the sensor module is collected. The collected electrical data is analyzed to determine a measurement for the body portion. A size for the body portion is calculated, based on the measurement. A second sensor module is attached to the garment. Electrical data from the second sensor is also collected and analyzed. A size for the body portion is further calculated based on the electrical data from the sensor module and the second sensor module. The sensor module and the second sensor module transmit data to a computing device using distinct, wireless transmitters.
