SYSTEM FOR DETECTION AND KINEMATIC MONITORING OF BODY MOVEMENTS IN WATER, AND RELATIVE METHOD

The present invention relates to a system for detection and kinematic monitoring of body movements in water, comprising: a wearable device (100) for a user and adapted for use in water, comprising: at least two inertial measurement units (101) adapted to be associated with at least two body segments of said user respectively, said body segments defining at least one angle variable with a body movement between them, said at least two inertial measurement units (101) comprising sensors configured to detect kinematic values of said body movement and to convert them into measured data, and further comprising at least one master node (102) connected to said at least two inertial measurement units (101) to collect said measured data, said master node (102) being further configured for an online transmission of said measured data; a processing system (201) comprising: a receiver (202) configured for an online reception of said measured data, and further comprising a computer (203) operatively connected to said receiver (202) and configured to reconstruct said body movement of said user in real time starting from said measured data, and further configured to carry out a comparison between said reconstructed body movement and predefined kinematic parameters; a feedback system comprising: at least one feedback device (204) configured to receive information relating to said comparison and further configured to deliver at least one indication about said body movement at least to said user based on said information. The present invention further relates to a relative method for detection and kinematic monitoring of body movements in water.
