ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for monitoring and displaying information related to pressure exerted at a point of interest during an isometric exercise includes a fabric base, adapted to receive a body part. A sensor is attached to the fabric base and disposed at the point of interest during the isometric exercise, and measures a pressure magnitude at the point of interest and provides a pressure signal corresponding to the pressure magnitude. A monitor, which receives the pressure signal, processes the pressure signal to derive information that is meaningful to a user, and generates a display signal corresponding to the information derived from the pressure signal. The monitor is coupled by a wireless link to a processing device, which receives the display signal. A display device receives the display signal from the processing device and provides a visual indication of the information to the user. The visual indication of the information may be a metaphorical representation of the pressure signal. The fabric base includes an opening for receiving a thumb. The sensor is attached to the fabric base on a first side of the opening, and the monitor device is attached to the fabric base on a second side of the opening.
