  • Patent number: 11717190
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards computer-based systems and methods for evaluating a user's body motion based on motion data obtained via a series of wireless sensors attached to a user's body. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method is disclosed herein. A server system receives motion data from one or more input devices. The motion data corresponds to movement of a user. The server system generates a motion profile based on at least the motion data received from the one or more input devices. The server system retrieves a pre-defined target motion profile from a database structure. The server system objectively evaluating the extracted motion profile by comparing one or more parameters of the generated motion profile with one or more parameters of the retrieved pre-defined target motion profile.

  • Patent number: 10576323
    Abstract: A method of performing a sequential series of movements in order to improve neuromuscular control and function across multiple joints and muscles in an individual. The sequential series of movements are performed by the individual while balancing on at least one unstable surface. Various steps are repeated to create a pattern of sequential movements that create rotational multi-planar movements against resistance and allow selectively sequential stretching of at least one muscle or joint of the individual.

  • Patent number: 7513840
    Abstract: A method of swing training for a sport requiring swinging of a sports implement including repeated performance by a trainee of at least one swing drill. The swing drill including execution of the following steps: (a) gripping a first elongated spacer between two hands and parallel to a floor; (b) swinging the first elongated spacer in a backswing motion and an opposed downswing motion to bring the first elongated spacer parallel to the floor; and (c) swinging the first elongated spacer in a follow-through motion to an opposite side and an opposed downswing motion, wherein a foot of the trainee is positioned on a second spacer placed on the floor, the second spacer being a pliable object to destabilize the trainee.

  • Patent number: 6176790
    Abstract: A method for swing training particularly suitable to golf and sports employing a similar swing is disclosed wherein balls of varying sizes, weights, and pliability are placed between a limb and a reactionary surface to restrict movement of a limb and nearby limbs wherein specific muscles groups are stretched and trained while imitating swing motion to induce muscle memory. The balls are placed in strategic locations including between the knees, between the thighs, under an armpit, between two arms stretched forward, cupped in two hands.

  • Patent number: 5839968
    Abstract: A method for swing training particularly suitable to golf and sports employing a similar power swing is disclosed wherein preferably pliable body spacer objects such as balls of varying sizes, weights, and pliability are placed between a limb and another body surface to restrict movement of said limb wherein specific muscles groups are stretched and trained while imitating swing motion to induce muscle memory. A lightweight ball of at least 25 cm. diameter is placed between the thighs and a smaller ball, e.g. a medicine ball of about 10-25 cm. diameter is gripped between the elbows. Also a ball or other object may be gripped under an armpit.
