Systems and methods for motion analysis and feedback
First Claim
1. A method for analyzing postures or movements of a human subject, comprising the steps of:
- placing one or more sensors on one or more vital energy points throughout the human subject'"'"'s body, detecting the positions of the one or more sensors, comparing the positions of the one or more sensors to a predetermined set of positions of one or more corresponding vital energy points, determining whether the positions of the one or more sensors match the predetermined set of positions of the one or more corresponding vital energy points, and providing a visual, auditory, or tactile signal to indicate whether the positions of the one or more sensors match the predetermined set of positions of the one or more corresponding vital energy points.

Abstract
The invention relates to motion analysis systems, methods, and programs for analyzing the motions or positions of humans and providing feedback thereon so that the users may improve their movements or postures. The analysis is in terms of the positions and motions of sensors that are carefully placed at vital energy points along the body, especially acupuncture points and chakras. The systems, methods, and programs allow users to master techniques that improve their vital energy flow, thus providing higher energy levels. In one aspect, the sensors are placed anywhere on the body, and tactile feedback devices provide tactile feedback to indicate errant motions.

12. A system for analyzing postures or movements of a human subject, comprising:
-
one or more sensors placed on one or more corresponding vital energy points throughout the human subject'"'"'s body, a detector, wherein the detector detects the positions of the one or more sensors, a computer or other electronic analysis device, wherein the computer or other electronic analysis device receives data from the detector, the data indicating the positions of the one or more sensors, and the computer or other electronic analysis device compares the positions of the one or more sensors with a predetermined reference set of positions of the one or more corresponding vital energy points to determine whether the positions of the one or more sensors match the predetermined set of positions of the one or more corresponding vital energy points, and a device for providing feedback, wherein the device for providing feedback provides a visual signal, an auditory signal, or a tactile signal to indicate whether the positions of the one or more sensors match the predetermined set of positions of the corresponding one or more vital energy points. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73)
