  • Patent number: 10758160
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments describe techniques for body part motion analysis. A stretch sensor is attached to a body part. Tape can be applied to the body part, and the stretch sensor can be attached to the tape using connectors, hooks, snaps, or Velcro™. The stretch sensor changes electrical characteristics as it stretches. A sensor coupled to the stretch sensor collects changes in electrical characteristics based on motion of the body part. A communication unit provides information from the sensor to a receiving unit. Motion of the body part is shown on a display. The displayed body part can be an animation and can be displayed in the context of an overall body. The stretch sensor is used for measuring body part motion. An inertial measurement unit provides augmented motion information. The stretch sensor senses muscle activities such as muscle activation and deformation and provides movement angle, force and torque evaluation.

  • Publication number: 20180140225
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments describe techniques for body part analysis. Data is collected from a body sensor. The body sensor is coupled to a fabric attached to a body part. The body sensor provides electrical information based on a deformation of the body part. The data from the body sensor is analyzed to determine the deformation of the body part. An angle for the body part is determined based on the deformation. The data is augmented with additional data collected from an inertial measurement unit. Anchor points for the body part are determined, where the anchor points enable placement of the body sensor coupled to the fabric. The body part is treated, wherein the body part treatment is based on the analyzing. Additional data is collected from a second body sensor. The second body sensor is also coupled to the fabric.
