An apparatus for training a subject to perform a specified physical
activity is based on the presence of two or more kinesthetic body
sensors, whether mounted on the body or separately from the body, that
deliver signals to a processing system that, in turn, delivers a single
output signal. This signal drives a display that delivers feedback to the
subject. Multiple body sensor output signals may be combined in
accordance with a predetermined algorithm to produce a single composite
signal. This combining may be as simple as direct addition, or may
include the combination of weighted values of the individual comparison
signals. An operator may adjust the weighting values to be applied to the
respective comparison signals, and may do so while the apparatus is in
use. Alternately while the apparatus is in use, a proportional signal
from one body sensor may drive the display, subject to suppression of
such signal if the output from any number of other body sensors does not
achieve preselected threshold values.
