Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001]The present invention claims priority to U.S. Patent Application No. 60/863,120 as filed on Oct. 26, 2006. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH [0002]Not applicable. NAMES OF THE PARTIES TO A JOINT RESEARCH AGREEMENT [0003]Not applicable. INCORPORATION-BY-REFERENCE OF MATERIAL SUBMITTED ON A COMPACT DISC [0004]Not applicable. BACKGROUND ON THE INVENTION [0005]1. Field of the Invention [0006]The present invention relates generally to a method for assessing and developing a personalized exercise regime for an individual. More particularly, the present invention includes a method for assessing and developing an exercise regime for an individual wherein the exercise regime is digitally arranged and supplied to the individual such that the digital exercise regime is personalized and the customized based on the needs of the individual. [0007]2. Description of the Related Art [0008]Physical therapy routines for individuals are well known in the prior art and typically consist of a series of physical exercises. The physical therapy routines are usually prescribed and assigned to an individual by physical therapists for rehabilitation from a disease and/or injury. In other situations, exercise trainers may develop and assign particular exercise regimes to individuals. When determining a proper physical routine for an individual, the physical therapist or exercise trainer should account for individual factors such as age, fitness level, medical history, any type of diseases or injury suffered by the individual, as well as mobility and/or strength the individual may be trying to attain. [0009]Once the physical therapy routine or work routine is prescribed to the individual, the physical therapist or exercise trainer must make sure the individual understands how to accomplish the associated physical exercises. In order to accomplish this, the physical therapist or exercise trainer typically demonstrates the exercises to the individual and provides written instructions for subsequent reference for when the physical therapist or exercise trainer is not around or available. However, this can be an inefficient use of the time of the physical therapist or exercise trainer. This is particularly true where time consuming or intricate exercises are involved. Further, even though the individual may initially understand the entire exercise routine, the individual may eventually forget how to properly perform certain exercises in the exercise routine over time. [0010]Standardized videotapes and other well known similar technologies that provide a visual presentation of physical exercises for muscle tone and weight reduction are known in the prior art. These standardized visual presentations, however, typically assume that the person viewing the visual presentation and performing the exercises is a substantially healthy person. Furthermore, they do not account for the age, fitness level or physical malady of the individual that requires therapy. Moreover, for various reasons, other physical activities such as occupational therapy, athletic training programs and yoga exercises are subject to these same concerns. [0011]Customized visual presentations of customized exercise regimes have also known in the prior art, such as in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,971,972 to McGovern et al. However, such prior customized exercise regimes are inadequate in preparing an individual to conduct particular exercises in a proper arrangement and motion. Further, such prior art presents each exercise of a routine as a one-fits-all in so much as the exercise is represented and prescribed to an individual without association of the individual's physical needs and/or limitations. [0012]Thus, what is desired is a method of assessing, developing, and prescribing a customized exercise regime with assignable parameters associated with the physical needs and limitations of the individual to which the exercise regime is prescribed. SUMMARY [0013]The various exemplary embodiments of the present invention include a method of creating a personalized exercise regime for an individual. The method is comprised of the steps of assessing an individual's physicality for body parts in need of improvement, therapy, or a combination thereof; reviewing a database via one or more computers, the database being comprised of stored videos of physical exercise such that each stored video presents a proper and substantially safe technique of performing a particular physical exercise; selecting one or more videos from the database, wherein the selected one or more videos are associated with the individual's body parts in need of improvement, therapy, or a combination thereof; customizing one or more parameters of the selected one or more videos based upon the individual's need of improvement, therapy, or both; saving the selected and customized one or more videos in a digital format; providing the saved one or more videos to the individual as an exercise regime; and prescribing that the individual view and perform the exercise regime as presented in the saved one or more videos.
