  • Method, device and system for sensing neuromuscular, physiological, biomechanical, and musculoskeletal activity
    Patent number: 11389083
    Abstract: A neuromuscular, physiological, biomechanical, or musculoskeletal activity monitoring system for a subject is provided. The system includes a wearable inertial measurement unit including at least one accelerometer and/or at least one gyroscope. The system also includes a controller in communication with an output component. The controller is configured to: receive and process information from the inertial measurement unit representative of one or more physical actions performed by the subject; generate an inertial data set for the one or more physical actions based on the received and processed information; compare the generated inertial data set to reference data stored on computer readable memory in communication with the controller; and cause the output component to provide feedback including predictive injury information. The predictive injury information is based, at least in part, on the comparison between the generated data set and the reference data.
