ADJUSTABLE TRAINING SYSTEM FOR ATHLETICS AND PHYSICAL REHABILITATION INCLUDING STUDENT UNIT AND REMOTE UNIT COMMUNICABLE THEREWITH

摘要

A system and method of monitoring the position of a body part of a user The system may be employed in athletic training, physical rehabilitation, or maintenance of proper body balance in daily activities The system creates a learning environment in which an athlete or physiotherapy patient is taught via immediate verbal feedback the proper body position to maintain for a particular sport or activity. The system includes one or more motion-detecting/signal-emitting units ('student units') and one or more monitor/control units ('pro units') Each student unit is mountable on the student, and a position sensor within the unit senses a direction/magnitude of tilt/rotation relative to a predetermined reference position The pro unit user can remotely monitor the positional information generated by the student unit via a wireless communications interface The pro user can change selected operational modes of the student unit based on the monitored angular/rotational position information.
