The present invention relates to a method of diagnosing the primary lesions that give rise to a chronic condition or incorrect structure in myofascial units and associated structures in a human patient. The invention also relates to a method of therapeutic treatment of the diagnosed conditions, in particular by application of a variable vacuum stimulus.

Systems, devices and methods are provided for determining injury risk and athletic readiness based on athletic movement data. Generally, a sensor device, such as a force plate, is provided for sensing certain characteristics of an athletic movement. A local computing device coupled to the sensor device can be configured to receive sensor data indicative of the characteristics of the athletic movement, process and extract information from the sensor data, and transmit the processed sensor data to a remote server system. The remote server system can be configured to store, aggregate and update the processed sensor data in a database, and can also generate one or more normalized scores correlating to the athletic movement. The normalized scores can indicate to a user a susceptibility to injury and/or a readiness towards return to play.

At least partial function of a human limb is restored by surgically removing at least a portion of an injured or diseased human limb from a surgical site of an individual and transplanting a selected muscle into the remaining biological body of the individual, followed by contacting the transplanted selected muscle, or an associated nerve, with an electrode, to thereby control a device, such as a prosthetic limb, linked to the electrode. Simulating proprioceptive sensory feedback from a device includes mechanically linking at least one pair of agonist and antagonist muscles, wherein a nerve innervates each muscle, and supporting each pair with a support, whereby contraction of the agonist muscle of each pair will cause extension of the paired antagonist muscle. An electrode is implanted in a muscle of each pair and electrically connected to a motor controller of the device, thereby simulating proprioceptive sensory feedback from the device.

The systems and methods described herein provide a skeletal pose detection system using a mmWave radar sensor array, signal processing circuitry to generate a point cloud output using the mmWave sensor output signal, data processing circuitry to generate one or more point cloud intensity outputs using the point clout output, and AI circuitry to identify skeletal joints for each of one or more objects detected by the sensor array. The system may further include skeletal pose analysis circuitry to determine whether the skeletal joint arrangement associated with each of the one or more objects detected by the sensor array represent an arrangement indicative of a potential medical issue or other issue requiring attention and/or intervention.

Data analysis is combined with physiological data to provide indications of the health of bodily systems both acute and chronic time frames. The results can confirm the uniqueness of bio-metric security. It can also enhance both sport safety, rehab and fitness goals. The compared change(s) pattern can help for remote/self health monitor as well as wellness tracking.

This invention relates to molecular diagnostics and, more specifically DNA-based tests for the prognosis and/or monitoring of fibrotic disease progression in humans, and processes for stratifying patients based on their likely rates of fibrotic disease progression. The invention also relates to the field of therapy for fibrotic disease, based on such prognoses, monitoring and stratification results, such as in monitoring and/or stratifying and/or treating patients having a higher likelihood of rapid fibrotic disease progression.

Provided are a method and a system for monitoring a movement of a user. The system includes at least one wearable flexible tactile sensor configured to sense movement of a muscle or bending of a joint at a corresponding location and transmitting a sensed value. The system further includes a monitoring server configured to analyze movement of the muscle or the bending of the joint of the user based on the sensed value received from the flexible tactile sensor motility of the user.

The present invention teaches a method and system for computing an alternative electron density map of an examination volume. The processing system is configured to compute a first electron density map using a plurality of imaging data, compute a second electron density map, wherein the second electron density map is a simplified version of the first electron density map, and compute the alternative electron density map, using the first electron density map and the second electron density map.

A method for stimulating contraction of a target muscle, the method including: locating a first neuromuscular junction of a target muscle by visualization or palpation, delivering a first stimulus to the first neuromuscular junction, locating a second neuromuscular junction of the target muscle by visualization or palpation, and delivering a second stimulus to the second neuromuscular junction. The first and second stimuli are effective to stimulate contraction of the target muscle. Further, contraction of the target muscle is effective to result in a measurable increase of at least one of: output force of the target muscle or range of motion of a body part associated with extension or contraction of the target muscle.
