Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH10501156
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
An apparatus for measuring and visually displaying a user's body movement while performing a motion. Sensing means such as, for example, potentiometers are coupled to the joints of a user in order quantitatively detect movement of the user's body while performing a motion. The sensors generate signals indicative of the movement of the user's body while the user performed the motion. The apparatus also includes processing means for receiving and processing the signals which generated by the sensing means. Display means are coupled to the processing means for receiving the processed signals from the processing means and for graphically displaying at least one image representing the movement of the user's body which occurred while the user performed said motion. In so doing, the present invention allows for real time or delayed observation by a user of the user's body movements while performing a motion. The apparatus also includes memory means for receiving and storing sample signals corresponding to sample movement of a sample user's body when performing the motion. The display means is then able to graphically display concurrently an image representing the movement of the user's body and a second image representing the sample movement of a sample body's performance of the motion. In so doing, the movement of the user's body can be compared with the sample movement of the sample body's performance of said motion. In one embodiment, the motion is performed is a golf swing.
