Method and Device for Providing a Bio-Feedback on a Muscle Trainer
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a display device (101, 103, 104) of a muscle trainer equipped with at least one force sensor (150) for sensing a person'"'"'s periodic or sustained muscular force, and in the display device (101, 103, 104) a currently applied muscular force is depicted in relation to a target muscular force or a maximum muscular force and the display device (101) is controlled such that a force queried by the patient is always depicted in a specific target region of a panel in the display device (101), characterized in that the target muscular force is depicted by a first panel (110) of predefined area and the currently applied muscular force is depicted by a second, variable panel (120) positioned within the first panel (110), and the area of said second panel (120) is caused to change according to a specific relationship to the currently applied muscular force.

Abstract
In a method for controlling a display device on a muscle trainer equipped with at least one force sensor for sensing a person'"'"'s periodic or sustained muscular force, in which display device a currently applied muscular force is depicted in relation to a target muscular force or to a maximum muscular force, and the display device is controlled such that a force queried by the patient is always depicted in a predefined target area of a panel in the display device, a multifunctional performance profile of a trainee is achieved in a clear and rapidly recognized manner in that the target muscular force is depicted by a first panel of predefined area and the currently applied muscular force is depicted by a second, variable panel positioned within the first panel, and the area of said second panel is caused to change according to a specific relationship to the currently applied muscular force.
