Rehabilitation device for the vestibular ocular system and other neurocognitive functions
11504050 · 2022-11-22 ·

A medical rehabilitation device for clinically rehabilitating individuals suffering from medical conditions affecting the vestibular ocular system, and other neurocognitive functions. The rehabilitation device includes a support base having an elongate slot, and a plurality of arms adjustably attached to the support base via the elongated slot, where each arm includes a magnetic strip for selectively positioning visual targets thereon to solicit patient recognition of colors and positions of the visual targets during both vestibular ocular reflex, and other neurocognitive exercises. Each arm and the support base includes measurement markings extending along the top longitudinal surface of each arm adjacent the magnetic strips and along the elongate slot, respectively, to provide measured and objective charted indicators for vestibular ocular reflex and other neurocognitive functions over time. The arms are adjustable in horizontal, vertical, and diagonal positions to selectively adjust the difficulty of the exercises in a plane of vision.

Human-computer interactive rehabilitation system

The present invention provides a human-computer interactive rehabilitation system, which can automatically calculate rehabilitation strength suitable for the patient, so that it is not necessary to manually evaluate and adjust the parameter settings in human-computer interactive rehabilitation system when different patients use it. At the same time, the human-machine interactive rehabilitation system and the hospital end can track the rehabilitation status and intervene through the data platform at any time. The platform establishes a cloud community feedback and encouragement mechanism, and immediately transmits the rehabilitation results to the designated barriers of the patients, provides patient encouragement feedback, and strengthens the community interaction and linkage in the medical relationship.

VIRTUAL REALITY GAME- AND BIOSIGNAL SENSOR-BASED VESTIBULO-OCULAR REFLEX ASSESSMENT AND REHABILITATION APPARATUS

A virtual reality game- and biosignal sensor-based VOR assessment and rehabilitation apparatus includes: a biosignal sensing unit which senses and notifies of head movement and eye movement of a patient using an eye tracker and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor attached or installed to a head-mounted display device; a VOR function assessment unit which configures and provides a game for VOR function assessment; a patient-personalization control unit which determines, on the basis of the VOR gain of the patient, the types and order of rehabilitation games, and a rehabilitation level; and a rehabilitation game providing unit which configures and provides games for at least one among smooth pursuit, saccades, VOR rehabilitation exercise, amplified VOR rehabilitation exercise, and suppressive VOR rehabilitation exercise, and determines the difficulty levels of the games on the basis of the rehabilitation level.

MULTI-MODAL THERMAL THERAPY FOR BLEPHARITIS, MEIBOMIAN GLAND DYSFUNCTION AND DRY EYE SYNDROME
20230100143 · 2023-03-30 ·

Methods for treating Blepharitis, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and Dry Eye Syndrome include thermal massage, thermal debridement, and thermal expression. Particular embodiments include use of handheld devices that provide the thermal therapy to tissue by contacting a surface heated with thermal energy to a patient's tissue. Thermal energy can be continuously provided during operation. In particular embodiments, a handheld device comprises a base assembly operatively connected to a removeable thermal energy applicator. A wide range of thermal applicators may be connected to the base assembly to provide different treatments, including heat application, debridement, and expression of the treated tissue or gland.

DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING VISUAL ABILITY TRAINING USING VISUAL PERCEPTUAL LEARNING

The present invention relates to a method for providing visual perception training using visual perception learning, the method comprising the steps of: obtaining a field-of-view map having a plurality of unit regions to which a vision index reflecting a user's vision ability is assigned; providing a first session using a visual perception task which is performed by displaying a first visual object for central fixation of the user's field of view and a second visual object in the vicinity of the first visual object, and requests the user's response related to at least the second visual object; determining a vision ability changed region among the plurality of unit regions on the basis of the user's response from the first session; and providing a second session using the visual perception task.
