System and method for providing indirect movement feedback during sensorimotor function rehabilitation and enhancement

A rehabilitation feedback system is used during rehabilitation of one or more body appendages of a user. The system includes four finger tracking elements and a thumb tracking element supported for movement relative to one another so as to allow a user to performs a gripping motion when the elements are coupled to the fingers and thumb of a user. A biasing member provides a resistance force acting to urge each tracking element towards a starting position thereof. A visual barrier is adapted to hide the hand of the user at a first side of the visual barrier from direct visual sight by the user at a second side of the visual barrier. A sensor at the first side of the visual barrier detects movements of the tracking elements and communicates with an indicator element detectable by the user from a second side of the visual barrier.

UPPER LIMB REHABILITATION DEVICE
20230119218 · 2023-04-20 · ·

Disclosed is an upper limb rehabilitation device. The device includes a grip portion provided to be held by a user's hand, and a grip-portion opening portion operating the grip portion to open or close the grip portion. The device further includes a pressing portion provided to be spaced apart from the grip portion. The pressing portion causes the user's hand positioned between the grip portion and the pressing portion to come into close contact with the grip portion. The device further includes a prop portion on which the grip portion and the grip-portion opening portion are seated, and an arm support portion configured to support a user's arm. The prop portion is connected at a first side thereof to the arm support portion, and the first side of the prop portion may be rotatably connected to the arm support portion.

Fixed-sensor finger action detecting glove

A fixed-sensor finger action detecting glove has a glove body, five covering sheets, five fixing bases, five sensors, and five fixing assemblies. A side of the glove body forms a hand back section and five finger back sections. The covering sheet is mounted on the finger back section and forms a passage. The fixing base is made from a flexible material, is mounted through the passage, and has two limiting walls. The sensor is located in the passage between the two limiting walls, preventing the sensor from deviating. The fixing assembly is mounted between an end of the sensor and an end of the finger back section, detachably connects the sensor and the finger back section, and prevents the sensor from moving back and forth. Thus, the fixed-sensor finger action detecting glove is capable of detecting actions of the fingers precisely.

Orthotic shoulder support
11622876 · 2023-04-11 · ·

An orthotic support comprises a shoulder section for encapsulating a first shoulder of a wearer, a glove section for conforming to at least a portion of the wearer's hand, and a sleeve section for conforming to the wearer's arm, the sleeve section connecting the shoulder section to the glove section. A resilient reinforcement extends from the glove section to the shoulder section, and at least a portion of the reinforcement extends in a spiral around the sleeve section, so that the reinforcement is configured to apply a rotational force to the wearer's arm, when worn, to urge a portion of the wearer's arm to rotate in a predetermined direction. The orthotic support may be usable to treat or prevent shoulder dislocation or subluxation, arm over-pronation or over-supination, wrist flexion or elbow flexion. An orthotic support may comprise a reinforcement with a first branch extending over an anterior portion of the sleeve section, and a second branch extending over a posterior portion of the sleeve section, so that the reinforcement is configured to urge the wearer's upper arm towards a rest position.
