An apparatus for treatment of a patient using vibrotactile multi-channel stimulation includes: (1) multiple vibratory stimulators; (2) multiple fastening mechanisms to secure respective ones of the vibratory stimulators to respective parts of a hand of the patient; and (3) a controller connected to the vibratory stimulators to direct operation of the vibratory stimulators.
Health-regain device and system thereof
A health-regain device, includes a driving portion; a health-regain portion, which is disposed on one side of the driving portion; and a control module, which is communicably connected to the driving portion, wherein the control module controls the driving portion driving the health-regain portion in rhythmic reciprocating motion.
Systems and methods for approximating musculoskeletal dynamics
A system and method for controlling a device, such as a virtual reality (VR) and/or a prosthetic limb are provided. A biomimetic controller of the system comprises a signal processor and a musculoskeletal model. The signal processor processes M biological signals received from a residual limb to transform the M biological signals into N activation signals, where M and N are integers and M is less than N. The musculoskeletal model transforms the N activation signals into intended motion signals. A prosthesis controller transforms the intended motion signals into three or more control signals that are outputted from an output port of the prosthesis controller. A controlled device receives the control signals and performs one or more tasks in accordance with the control signals.
System and method for generating pressure point maps based on remote-controlled haptic-interactions
System and method for providing remotely guided physical treatment are disclosed. A computing device is communicably coupled to a therapeutic robot and a remote guidance device. The computing device receives full-body images of a treatment subject. The computing device generates a plurality of key physical points for the treatment subject by identifying a three-dimensional human body template that corresponds to the shape and posture parameters of the treatment subject and fitting the identified first three-dimensional human body template to the full-body images of the treatment subject. The fitting causes adjustments to locations of the corresponding set of key physical points of the first three-dimensional human body template. The adjusted locations of the corresponding set of key physical points of the first three-dimensional human body template are provided to the guidance device as basis for a treatment procedure that is specified by the treatment guidance provider during the physical treatment session.
SYSTEM AND DEVICE FOR GUIDING AND DETECTING MOTIONS OF 3-DOF ROTATIONAL TARGET JOINT
Examples of a device for guiding and detecting a motion of a target joints and a motion assistance system such motion guiding devices are described. The motion guiding and detecting device comprises a motion generator and a motion transfer and target interfacing unit to transfer the motion generated by the motion generator to the target joint. The system further includes a motion detection and feedback unit that interfaces with the target, and a controller that interfaces with both the feedback unit and the motion generator to control and coordinate the motion of the motion generator and the target joint.
SELF-SUPPORTED DEVICE FOR GUIDING MOTIONS OF A PASSIVE TARGET SYSTEM
Examples of a self-supported device for guiding motions of a target joint of a target body are disclosed. The device comprises a motion generator, a motion transfer system, a target body interfacing system, a load bearing system and a controller. The load bearing system comprises a plate connected to the motion transfer system and a network of joints and links configured to constrain the plate to rotate in three dimensions about a center of rotation of the load bearing system. A position of the center of rotation of the load bearing system being adjustable by adjusting a connection point between the links. The plate of the load bearing system is connected to an adjustable target body interfacing system that is configured to be mounted to the target body. The center of rotation of the load bearing system coincides (or nearly coincides) with a center of rotation of the target joint of the target body.
REAL-TIME FEEDBACK-BASED OPTIMIZATION OF AN EXOSKELETON
Systems and methods for determining a level of collaboration between a user and an exoskeleton boot are provided. A device, using an exoskeleton boot, can provide a level of force to a limb of a user to aide movement of the limb. The device can measure one or more parameters of the exoskeleton boot during the movement of the limb using the exoskeleton boot. The device can determine one or more biometrics of the user during the movement of the limb using the exoskeleton boot. The device can determine, based on the one or more biometrics and the one or more parameters of the device, a metric indicative of a collaboration between the user and the exoskeleton boot during the movement.
SYSTEMS, DEVICES, COMPONENTS AND METHODS FOR TRIGGERING OR INDUCING RESONANCE OR HIGH AMPLITUDE OSCILLATIONS IN A CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM OF A PATIENT
Various embodiments of systems, devices, components, and methods for providing external therapeutic vibration stimulation to a patient are disclosed and described. Therapeutic vibration stimulation is provided to at least one location on or adjacent to a patient's skin (such as through clothing or a layer disposed next to the patient's skin), and is configured to trigger or induce resonance or high amplitude oscillations in a cardiovascular system of the patient. Inducing such resonance can aid in training autonomic reflexes and improve their functioning.
REHABILITATION TRAINING EQUIPMENT AND A REHABILITATION TRAINING SYSTEM
The present disclosure provides a rehabilitation training equipment and a rehabilitation training system. The rehabilitation training equipment includes a driving device, a back placement device, a leg aid device, a cushion device, a first feedback device, and a control device. The driving device is configured to adjust rotation angles between the back placement device, the cushion device, and the leg aid device to achieve a posture training mode selected from a plurality of posture training modes including a standing mode, a sitting-up mode, and a lying mode. The first feedback device is used to obtain core muscle strength parameters of the human body. The control device is electrically connected to the first feedback device and the driving device, and is configured to obtain the core muscle strength parameters and send a control signal to the driving device.
Method and system for predicting successful treatment methods and outcomes of bodily tissue disorders based on energy activity of the tissue
A method of predicting successful treatment of disorders of bodily tissue includes obtaining, with a device, energy signal data from the bodily tissue of a patient. The obtained energy signal data is analyzed in a controller to determine an activity score value associated with the bodily tissue. The activity score value is compared, in the controller, to a threshold value, with the threshold value being based on energy signal data from the same bodily tissue of normal, disease free patients. Based on the comparison, a probability of success of a particular therapy in treating the bodily tissue is determined. A system for performing the method is also disclosed.
