TRAINING METHOD AND A DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT SAID METHOD
First Claim
1. A method of training, said method comprising digitizing a movement, when learning said movement, comparing it with the digitized pattern of a reference movement and, if the trainee deviates from the reference movement, receiving by said trainee a tactile feedback for on-line correcting said movement.

Abstract
The invention relates to training and can be used for learning and/or developing movement skills, fixing dynamic stereotypes and for training movement coordination. The aim of the invention is to provide a trainee with on-line correcting tactile feedback during training and to improve techniques and rate of a movement by bringing it as close as possible to a reference movement. The inventive training method consists, when learning a movement, in digitizing said movement, in comparing it with the digitized pattern of a reference movement and, if the trainee deviates from the reference movement, in receiving by said trainee a tactile feedback (tactile action) for on-line correcting said movement. The inventive device comprises sensors for on-line movement digitizing, a computer for comparing the thus obtained digitized movement with the reference movement (specified by an expert or simulated on the computer) for controlling the tactile feedback elements and said tactile feedback elements for performing the correction action.
