Abstract: There is provided a body state detecting apparatus for detecting a body state of a subject on a bed, the apparatus including: a plurality of load detectors which are placed in the bed or under feet of the bed and which detect a load variation depending on a respiration of the subject; and a body state detecting unit which determines an extending direction of a body axis of the subject and a head placement of the subject based on the detected load variation. The body state detecting unit includes a body axis direction determining unit which determines the extending direction of the body axis of the subject based on the detected load variation, and a head placement determining unit which determines the head placement of the subject, in the determined extending direction of the body axis of the subject, based on the detected load variation.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining foot force data that is created by sampling, in accordance with a sampling signal, data from pressure sensing elements of a shoe sensor system. The method further includes obtaining three-dimensional foot data that is created by sampling, in accordance with the sampling signal, data from an accelerometer of the shoe sensor system. The method further includes correlating the foot force data and the three-dimensional foot data in accordance with the sampling signal to produce correlated foot data. The method further includes processing the correlated foot data to determine one or more of: distance traveled during a time period, stride length data, time duration, fatigue indication, injury prevention indicators, elevation tracking for the time period, running optimization, and rotational sport optimization.

Abstract: In a system for determining in-seat behavior of a user, a sensor mat is placed on a location of the seat. The sensor mat includes a plurality of sensors that are distributed anthropometrically so as to be placed below predetermined anatomical sites of a typical user. At least one training episode in which the user assumes at least one predetermined posture for a predetermined amount of time is executed. Training data from each of the plurality of sensors is recorded and sensor parameters are adjusted based on the training data. After the training episode, use data is sensed from the plurality of sensors during normal use of the seat by the user. The in-seat behavior of the user is characterized based on the use data which results in the generation of characterization data. At least one predetermined action is taken based on the characterization data.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for enabling improvements in athlete training and injury management through entropy and third-order spectral analysis of digitized force-vs-time time series from movements. In embodiments, entropy and/or bispectral statistics are determined using time-series information obtained from movements of an athlete, such as squat jump and countermovement jump maneuvers, using a biomechanical sensor, such as a digital force plate apparatus. These statistics may be used to facilitate sports medicine and health management of the athlete. In some embodiments, where athletes are involved in sport that involves explosive power development in the lower extremities and extensive running, cutting, jumping or other movement having risk of injuries to the lower extremities, time series force plate data are obtained and transformed to calculate entropy and bispectral statistics, from which functional status of the lower limbs and readiness for safe return-to-lay may be ascertained.

Abstract: Method for measuring the visually-induced postural instability of a person is described, the method comprising a display providing step (S1) during which a visual display device is provided. The display device is arranged so as to display a dynamic visual pattern in at least 50% of the lower half of the visual field of the person, leaving an upper half of the visual field of the person free. The method also comprises a display step (S2) during which a dynamic visual pattern is displayed on the visual display device. The method further comprises a measuring step (S3) during which a parameter representative of the postural instability is measured when the person is gazing at a fix target straight in front while having the dynamic visual pattern displayed on the visual display device.

Abstract: Example posture analysis systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a computing system identifies a deviation of a user's posture from a predetermined posture based on visual data associated with the user. The user is informed of the deviation via a graphical image displayed on a display device. The user is then provided with instructions for correcting the deviation via the graphical image displayed on the display device.

Abstract: An article of footwear includes an upper and a sole structure with a sole member. The sole member can be manufactured using a cushioning sole system that provides different cushioning characteristics to a sole member using varying patterns of apertures. A user's foot morphology and/or preferences may be used to design the sole member. The sole member can include a set of apertures that are formed along various surfaces of the sole member.
