System for Measurement and Analysis of Movement of Anatomical Joints and/or Mechanical Systems
First Claim
1. A balance indicator display system for use with a measuring system for measuring force and/or range of a parallel activity, the balance indicator display system comprising a visual display and configured to visually display on the visual display one or more balance indicators that reflects in real-time the relative balance of force or range measured. by the measurement system of the respective sides of the parallel activity.

Abstract
A system for measuring and analyzing movement or force in conjunction with sports, physical fitness or therapy. Real-time displays of range of movement (or force) information are calibrated for optimal visibility and/or resolution based on the actual range of a given exercise. Also disclosed is a balance indicator showing in real-time whether one side of the body is being favored over the other. Also disclosed are timing windows that indicate the desired timing of an exercise in real-time. Also disclosed are ‘breadcrumbs’ visually depicting (during and after completion of an exercise) a user'"'"'s history of speed and range.

- 1. A balance indicator display system for use with a measuring system for measuring force and/or range of a parallel activity, the balance indicator display system comprising a visual display and configured to visually display on the visual display one or more balance indicators that reflects in real-time the relative balance of force or range measured. by the measurement system of the respective sides of the parallel activity.
- 6. A timing window display system for use with a measuring system for measuring force and/or range of an activity, the timing window display system comprising a visual display and configured to visually display on the visual display real-time data from the measuring system during measurement of an activity by the measurement system, the timing window display system further configured to, simultaneously with said visual display of real-time data during measurement of an activity by the measurement system, visually display on the visual display one or more timing windows that move in a predetermined pattern and have a predetermined size.
- 11. A measurement history display system for use with a measuring system for measuring force and/or range of an activity, the measurement history display system comprising a visual display and configured to visually display on the visual display real-time data from the measuring system, during measurement of an activity by toe measurement system, the measurement history display system further configured to, simultaneously with said visual display of real-time data during measurement of an activity by the measurement system, visually display on the visual display a history of prior measurement data for the activity.
- 16. A method of calibrating a visual display of readings from a measuring system for measuring force and/or range of an activity of which multiple repetitions are performed, the visual display having a minimum position and a maximum position, the method comprising causing the measuring system to measure a highest force or range reading for an initial repetition of the activity, and causing the visual display to display said highest force or range reading at a predetermined maximal position on the visual display.
