SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEASURING FORCE AND REPETITIVE MOTION FOR THERAPEUTIC AND FITNESS GOALS
The invention is directed to systems, devices, and methods for measuring force and repetitions during exercise or rehabilitation activities. Devices in accordance with embodiments may include: a casing; a processor within the casing; a display visibly on the casing; a first attachment portion on one end of the casing; a second attachment portion on an opposite end of the casing; and a force sensor connected to the first and the second attachment portion, the force sensor in communication with the processor. Methods may include: attaching a pneumatic exercise device to the wireless force measurement device; conducting exercises causing a piston in the pneumatic exercise device to move compared to from the wireless force measurement device; counting, by the device, the number of times the piston moves towards or away from the device; determining, by the device the amount of force applied through the pneumatic exercise device during the exercise.
Device for vibration training
The invention relates to a device for vibration training, comprising a platform, a first actuator configured to make said platform move vibrationally, and a second actuator configured to make said platform move in a rocking manner.
Postural platform training device
Disclosed herein are devices, systems and methods for redistributing the normal weight distribution of a user in a standing position. One example is a postural platform for either the left or right foot having a bottom surface defining a reference plane, a top surface configured as a foot contact surface and a perimeter side wall between the bottom and top surfaces. The top surface is rotated about a first rotational axis parallel to the reference plane and rotated about a second rotational axis orthogonal to the reference plane. In another example, a system includes first and second postural platforms that are independent of one another. In other examples, the device is a sandal, shoe, sneaker or any foot covering with a tops surface being at a complex angle to a bottom surface.
EXERCISE DEVICE HAVING A LINEAR ARM PORTION
An exercise apparatus includes a linear arm portion having an elongate arm member with proximal and distal ends and an elongate support member having proximal and distal ends. The arm member can be slidably mounted to the support member by a sliding joint positioned at the distal end of the support member. The arm member can be movable along a first axis between retracted and extended positions. The sliding joint can include first and second bearing assemblies which are spaced apart a sufficient distance from each other for constraining portions of the arm member within the sliding joint. The proximal end of the arm member that overlaps with the support member outside of the sliding joint when in retracted positions can be capable of some unconstrained lateral movement relative to the first axis. A linear arm brake assembly can be coupled to the arm member for resisting linear motion of the arm member. A torso portion can be included to which the linear arm portion is rotatably mounted about a second axis by rotary shoulder joint. The linear arm portion can be configured, and the rotary shoulder joint can be positioned along the length of the support member at a location that substantially balances the linear arm portion about the rotary shoulder joint at least when the arm member is in the retracted position.
Gait pattern training device
A gait trainer adapted for use with a treadmill and, optionally, a spinning cycle, provides greater accessibility for therapeutic and rehabilitative gait pattern training to individuals confronting injury, illness, or disability. The gait trainer is adjustable, to accommodate a wide variety of users with different stride lengths and needs.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ENGINE TO OPTIMIZE A TREATMENT PLAN
A method for updating a treatment plan. The treatment plan is associated with a user using a treatment apparatus to perform the treatment plan. The method includes receiving first data associated with a first diagnosis of the user. The method includes generating, based on the first data, an initial treatment plan to be performed on the treatment apparatus by the user. The method includes receiving second data associated with a first attribute of the user. The method includes generating, via an artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to generate an updated treatment plan based on the initial treatment plan and the second data.
System and method for ankle rehabilitation
A system for ankle rehabilitation includes a motorized platform arranged to hold an ankle of a subject to be rehabilitated; a first sensor module arranged to detect signals representing movement intention of the ankle on the motorized platform; a second sensor module arranged to detect signals representing actual movement of the ankle on the motorized platform; and a processor arranged to process the signals detected by the first sensor module and the signals detected by the second sensor module, for control of movement of the motorized platform.
System, method and apparatus for a rehabilitation machine with a simulated flywheel
Electromechanical rehabilitation of a user can include receiving a pedal force value from a pedal sensor of a pedal; receiving a pedal rotational position; based on the pedal rotational position over a period of time, calculating a pedal velocity; and based at least upon the pedal force value, a set pedal resistance value, and the pedal velocity, outputting one or more control signals causing an electric motor to provide a driving force to control simulated rotational inertia applied to the pedal.
Control system for a rehabilitation and exercise electromechanical device
An electromechanical device for rehabilitation includes pedals coupled to radially-adjustable couplings, an electric motor coupled to the pedals via the radially-adjustable couplings, and a control system including a processing device operatively coupled to the electric motor. The processing device configured to, responsive to a first trigger condition occurring, control the electric motor to operate in a passive mode by independently driving the radially-adjustable couplings rotationally coupled to the pedals. The processing device also configured to, responsive to a second trigger condition occurring, control the electric motor to operate in an active-assisted mode by measuring revolutions per minute of the radially-adjustable couplings, and cause the electric motor to drive the radially-adjustable couplings when the measured revolutions per minute satisfy a threshold condition, and responsive to a third trigger condition occurring, control the electric motor to operate in a resistive mode by providing resistance to rotation of the radially-adjustable couplings.
Gait trainer attachment
A gait trainer attachment adapted for use with exercise equipment and a method for using the gait trainer attachment. Embodiments of the gait trainer attachment include a frame, a leg brace, and a compromised limb gait system. The compromised limb gait system attaches the leg brace to the frame and is configured to guide a limb of a user through a simulated gait motion. In aspects, the gait trainer attachment gives an amputee user the ability to use ordinary exercise equipment for rehabilitation and endurance training by providing a leg brace for the compromised limb, a frame designed to attach to exercise equipment, and a connection between the leg brace and frame that guides the compromised limb, thus allowing the user to maintain a biomechanically proper walking motion while exercising.
