An article of footwear (10) comprises a pressure sensor (16) arranged in the sole structure. The sensor comprises elongated pressure-sensing cells (18), each of which has an axis of main extension (A). Each cell comprises a first (20) and a second (22) carrier film, which are attached to one another by a spacer film (24) having an elongated opening (26) oriented along the axis of main extension, as well as a first (28) and a second (30) electrode on the first and the second carrier film, respectively. The electrodes are arranged in facing relationship with each other, so that a contact area between them increases with increasing pressure. An electrically insulating layer (32) is arranged within the opening. That layer's shape is such that it locally prevents direct contact between the electrodes where the insulating layer is present and enables the direct contact where it is absent. The shape is constant or repetitionary along the axis of main extension of the cell.

An improved apparatus and methods of posture and physical activity monitoring. The apparatus is physically mountable to or associated with an object or person, includes a multi-axis accelerometer, and derives measurements of posture and of acceleration. Methods are disclosed which provide improved estimations of posture, acceleration, energy expenditure, movement characteristics and physical activity, detect the influence of externally- caused motion, and permit automatic calibration of the apparatus in the field.
摘要:
A training aid apparatus (1), comprising one or more discrete plate units (2, 2a), each separately movably and disposable over and along a substrate (3), as a floor surface, to follow a training track ("T"; "Ta") between a first, forwards oriented, position and a second, backwards oriented, position. Said discrete plate unit (2) is adapted to support a foot (4), related to a person ("P") using said aid (1) for a training purpose, where said foot (4) is displaceable between said first and said second positions, resting on said discrete plate unit (2), and between said second and said first position, moving through the free air along an orbit formed path ("O"). A control equipment (6) is adapted to sense the instant position of said plate unit (2), at least during its displacement from said second position to said first position, and to control its position and/or speed, said control equipment (6) is further adapted to sense the instant position of said foot (4), at least during its displacement from said second position to said first position and still further said control equipment (6) is adapted to control the position of and the speed of said plate unit (2) in such a matter that said foot (4), in said first position, is to come to rest on said plate unit (2).
摘要:
Improved apparatus and methods of sensing or monitoring body- orientation and motion and measuring range of motion (ROM) for use in athletic training and physical rehabilitation and evaluation. The apparatus includes a 3 -axis sensor, at least one memory, and at least one processor, and is attachable to an object to be monitored. The 3 -axis sensor senses a magnitude of tilt along each of a first, second, and third axis, the memory stores data representing the sensed magnitudes of tilt, and the processor processes the data stored in the memory. In one embodiment, the processor determines an angle between each of the first, second, and third axes and a horizontal plane, and selects the two axes corresponding to the two smallest angles between the three axes and the horizontal plane. The processor then generates an indication of the orientation of the object based upon the sensed magnitudes of tilt along the two selected axes .
摘要:
The invention relates to a device for monitoring the posture of a sportsperson performing a sequence of movement during sport. The inventive device is provided with at least one sensor for detecting the posture. The sensor is coupled to an evaluation unit which compares the detected posture to a desired value. The result of the comparison is transmitted to at least one display unit.
