“…Indeed, sonification of body movement, as a means to inform, has been shown to improve motor control and possibly motor learning (Effenberg, 2005;Effenberg, Fehse, & Weber, 2011;Effenberg, Weber, Mattes, Fehse, & Mechling, 2007) in sports training studies (golf swing: Kleiman-Weiner & Berger, 2006; interactions within a sports team : Höner, Hermann, & Grunow, 2004;rowing: Dubus, 2012;Schaffert, Mattes, & Effenberg, 2010; aerobics for visually impaired people: Hermann & Zehe, 2011; skier's center of gravity : Hasegawa, Ishijima, Kato, Mitake, & Sato, 2012). Sonification is not new in physical rehabilitation either.…”

Chronic (persistent) pain (CP) affects 1 in 10 adults; clinical resources are insufficient, and anxiety about activity restricts lives. Technological aids monitor activity but lack necessary psychological support. This article proposes a new sonification framework, Go-with-the-Flow, informed by physiotherapists and people with CP. The framework proposes articulation of user-defined sonified exercise spaces (SESs) tailored to psychological needs and physical capabilities that enhance body and movement awareness to rebuild confidence in physical activity. A smartphone-based wearable device and a Kinect-based device were designed based on the framework to track movement and breathing and sonify them during physical activity. In control studies conducted to evaluate the sonification strategies, people with CP reported increased performance, motivation, awareness of movement, and relaxation with sound feedback. Home studies, a focus group, and a survey of CP patients conducted at the end of a hospital pain management session provided an in-depth understanding of how different aspects of the SESs and their calibration can facilitate self-directed rehabilitation and how the wearable version of the device can facilitate transfer of gains from exercise to feared or demanding activities in real life. We conclude by discussing the implications of our findings on the design of technology for physical rehabilitation

“…In sport, sound notifications have been used to give athletes feedback about their performance, e.g. movement sonification has been used in correcting the posture of skiers [10], while by exploiting the rhythm and the tempo of music it is possible to energize the athletes, as the app Nike+ does. Voice has been used by Müller et al [19] who conveyed spatially distributed audio through headsets to make distant joggers chat and motivate each other.…”

“…[1,13]. A part of these studies focused on the initial phase of learning a new sport in order to facilitate the acquisition of new motor skills [10,21,25]. However, the learning of a new sport often entails a high level of emotional involvement, which may influence the performance [9].…”

In this paper, we present a field study on the learning of climbing aimed at defining the design space of wearable devices to support beginners. Three main findings have emerged from our study. First, climbing has a strong emotional impact on beginners; therefore, learning to climb requires mastering new motor patterns as well as negative emotions, such as stress and fear. Second, the feeling of danger that climbers often experience can be mitigated by trust in the climbing partner and the perception of her active presence. Finally, a big problem in climbing is the communication difficulty between the climbing partners and between climber and instructor. We conclude the paper presenting four design considerations for the design of wearable devices meant to support the learning of climbing by providing the actors involved with augmented communication. Such augmented communication should address both the physical and the emotional difficulties of this sport.

“…The systems mainly use the person's hearing or sight, which do not require the use of special devices. In a system used in practicing skiing, Hasegawa [14,15] provided both aural and visual information. Taking this research into consideration, the advantage of visual information is that a user can understand the whole condition intuitively.…”

Providing self-images is an effective approach to identifying sports players' body movements that should be corrected. Traditional means providing self-images, however, such as mirrors and videos, are not effective in terms of mobility and immediacy. In this paper we propose a system, Around Me, providing self-images through a display attached to an escort robot that runs in front of the user. This system captures the user's posture from the front and recognizes his/her position relative to the robot. The user's movements are synchronized with the robot's movements because the robot's movements are determined by the user's location. In this research we developed an experimental prototype specialized for assistance in jogging. In pilot studies we observed that the ability of Around Me to provide real-time images is potentially able to encourage the user to improve his/her jogging form, which is essential for performance and for injury prevention. In addition, compared with the robot running in front of the user with one following behind the user, we clarified the frontal robot's characteristics: the robot can control the jogging speed, and the user needs to adjust the robot's steering and the distance between the robot and him/her as he/she requires. Then we found indications that Around Me can, with various jogging support functions, encourage the user to practice jogging with ideal form.
