1. A device for conditioning the balance and motor coordination of a user, comprising:
- a system for the acquisition of information relative to the kinematics of at least one part of the body of the user,a processing system connected to the acquisition system for encoding the information in a stereophonic sound,communication means operating between the processing system and the user to provide the user with the information,wherein the processing system includes an electronic card configured for modulating the frequency and volume of the stereophonic sound according to an anteroposterior oscillation of the part of the body and for activating the means of communication,wherein the communication means comprises a first and a second sound transducer, andwherein the electronic card is configured to balance the stereophonic sound between the first and the second sound transducers on the basis of lateral accelerations of the user in such a way that the user can recognize lateral accelerations by listening to the balance of the sound between the two sound transducers.

10. A method for conditioning balance and motor co-ordination of a user, comprising the steps of:
-
providing a user with a system for the acquisition of information relative to the kinematics of at least one part of the body of the user, a processing system connected to the acquisition system for encoding the information in a stereophonic sound, communication means operating between the processing system and the user to provide the user with the information wherein the processing system includes an electronic card for modulating the frequency and volume of the stereophonic sound according to an anteroposterior oscillation of the part of the body and for activating the means of communication, wherein the communication means comprises a first and a second sound transducer; balancing stereophonic sound between the first and the second sound transducers on the basis of lateral accelerations of the user, thus enabling the user to recognize lateral accelerations by listening to the balance of the sound between the two earphones.
