SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PHYSICAL REHABILITATION AND MOTION TRAINING
First Claim
1. A method for assisting a user in physical rehabilitation and exercising, said method comprising:
- attaching a sensor module over an anatomical part of said user, said sensor module being configured to transmit a first set of data generated by one or more sensors included in said sensor module; and
placing a mobile computing device substantially aligned with said anatomical part, said mobile computing device comprising one or more device sensors capable of generating a second set of data with respect to a coordinate system of said mobile computing device;
wherein, an application at said mobile computing device processes said first set of data and said second set of data to find out a transformation of said first set of data relative to said second set of data to calculate a position, an orientation and a motion of said anatomical part based on said second set of data acquired from said one more device sensors.

Abstract
A system comprising wearable sensor modules and communicatively connected mobile computing devices for assisting a user in physical rehabilitation and exercising. The modules comprise sensors and the mobile computing device comprises device sensors. An application operably installed in memory of the mobile computing device provides a set of step-by-step instructions to a user for wearing the sensor modules in a particular way over an anatomical part depending on an exercise to be done by the user. The application further acquires a first set of data generated by the sensors and a second set of data generated by the device sensors. It then calculates a set transformation parameters based on the first set of data relative to the second set of data to do a sensor-anatomy registration of sensors to the anatomical part while the mobile computing device is placed substantially aligned with the wearable sensors over the anatomical part.

24. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor to perform a method for assisting a user in physical rehabilitation and exercising, said method comprising:
-
providing a plurality of instructions for attaching a sensor module over an anatomical part of said user, said sensor module being configured to transmit a first set of data generated by one or more sensors included in said sensor module; receiving said first set of data from said sensor module; acquiring a second set of data from a mobile computing device positioned substantially aligned with said anatomical part, said mobile computing device comprising one or more device sensors capable of generating said second set of data with respect to a coordinate system of said mobile computing device; calculating a set of transformation parameters based on said first set of data relative to said second set of data to carry out a sensor-anatomy registration of said one or more sensors to said anatomical part; tracking a position, an orientation and a motion of said anatomical part based on said set of transformation parameters; and providing a plurality of visual, audible and tactile information to said user for correctly performing a physical exercise involving said anatomical part.
