Abstract

Data regarding a movement being performed by a subject during an activity is obtained from wearable apparel, having one or more sensors, worn by the subject. Based at least in part on the data obtained by the wearable apparel, it is automatically detected that the movement has a potential of causing injury to the subject. Based on automatically detecting that the motion has the potential of causing injury to the subject, application of one or more physical stimuli is initiated to cause the subject to adjust the movement to prevent the injury.
