Wearable measuring apparatus for sports training
First Claim
1. A wearable apparatus for sports training, comprising:
- (a) a processor;
(b) a computer-readable medium communicably coupled to the processor and configured to store one or more optimal ranges of joint positions of a musculoskeletal joint of a user;
(c) a sensor communicably coupled to the processor and configured to detect a joint position of the user'"'"'s musculoskeletal joint;
(d) a signaling component communicably coupled to the processor and configured to send a user detectable signal; and
(e) a timer, wherein;
(1) the wearable apparatus is configured such that if the joint position of the user'"'"'s musculoskeletal joint falls outside the one or more optimal ranges of joint positions of the user'"'"'s musculoskeletal joint, the signaling component is activated to send the user detectable signal;
(2) the computer-readable medium is further configured to store one or more timed optimal ranges of joint positions of the user'"'"'s musculoskeletal joint;
(3) each of the one or more timed optimal ranges is configured to comprise one of the one or more optimal ranges of joint positions of the user'"'"'s musculoskeletal joint and a distinctive timecode;
(4) one of the distinctive timecodes is zero; and
(5) the signaling component is activated when a current time stamp retrieved from the timer matches the distinctive timecode of one of the one or more timed optimal ranges, and the signaling component also being configured to be activated when the joint position of the user'"'"'s musculoskeletal joint falls outside the one or more optimal ranges of joint positions of the one of the one or more timed optimal ranges.

Abstract
A wearable apparatus for using reinforced neurofeedback for sports training is configured to be worn at or near a user'"'"'s joint to monitor a position of the user'"'"'s joint. One such a wearable apparatus comprises a processor, a computer-readable medium, a sensor, an I/O component, a battery, a timer, a signaling component, and a flexible printed circuit. The computer-readable medium store at least one optimal range of the user'"'"'s joint and/or a sequence of timed optimal ranges of the positions of the user'"'"'s joint for a specific sport. The sensor continuously detects the position of the user'"'"'s joint. Once the processor determines that the user'"'"'s joint falls outside the optimal range of the position of the user'"'"'s joint, the processor activates the signaling component to send a feedback signal for the user to make immediate corrections to the position of the user'"'"'s joint.
