GENERATION OF PERSONALIZED TRAINING REGIMENS FROM MOTION CAPTURE DATA
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-based method for identifying a training regimen for a subject, the method performed on at least one computer having a processor, a memory and input/output capability, the method comprising:
- recording, via infrared motion capture technology, a set of two or more exercises performed by the subject, wherein each exercise of the set of exercises comprises three-dimensional (x,y,z) coordinates of one or more nodes at a sequence of times, t;
constructing, by a first computer, a motion profile for the subject based on the set of recorded exercises of the subject, wherein the motion profile comprises ranges of node angle value or displacement experienced for the set of exercises;
comparing, by a second computer, the motion profile of the subject with a database of previously recorded motion profiles;
identifying one or more movement pathologies displayed by the subject, based on a deviation between a motion profile for the subject and the previously recorded motion profiles in the database; and
communicating, via an output device, a training regimen for the subject.

Abstract
The use of motion capture data for analyzing an individual'"'"'s performance on certain exercises, and more particularly relates to comparison of movement data for an individual with a database of recorded motions for a population in order to generate a training regimen for the individual, and to monitor the individual'"'"'s progress when carrying out the training regimen.

17. An apparatus for identifying a training regimen for a subject, the apparatus comprising:
-
an infrared recording device for receiving data that describes a set of two or more exercises performed by a subject, wherein each exercise of the set of exercises comprises three-dimensional (x,y,z) coordinates of one or more nodes at a sequence of times, t, and wherein each node is selected from the group consisting of;
left and right elbow, left and right wrist, left and right hand, left and right shoulder, left and right knee, left and right ankle, left and right hip, head, neck, center of hips, center of shoulders, left and right foot, and lower-back;a transmission channel for communicating the data to one or more computing devices; wherein the one or more computing devices each comprises a memory, an output device, and one or more processors configured with instructions to; construct a motion profile for the subject based on the data, wherein the motion profile comprises ranges of joint angle value or displacement experienced for one or more exercises; compare the motion profile of the subject with a database of previously recorded motion profiles, wherein the database is stored in one of the memories; identify a movement pathology for the subject based on a deviation between a motion profile for the subject and the previously recorded motion profiles in the database; and communicate, via the output device, a training regimen for the subject.
