SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING TO GENERATE TREATMENT PLANS THAT INCLUDE TAILORED DIETARY PLANS FOR USERS
A computer-implemented method for (1) receiving one or more characteristics of a user, wherein the one or more characteristics comprise personal information, performance information, measurement information, or some combination thereof, (2) generating, using one or more trained machine learning models, a treatment plan for the user, wherein the treatment plan is generated based on the one or more characteristics of the user, and the treatment plan comprises: (i) a dietary plan that is tailored to manage one or more medical conditions associated with the user, and (ii) an exercise plan comprises one or more exercises associated with the one or more medical conditions, and (3) presenting, via a display device, at least a portion of the treatment plan comprising the dietary plan.
Repetition extraction
An information related to the position of an actuator coupled to a cable which is coupled to a motor is received. A filter is used to provide an input to a motor controller coupled to the motor, to adjust torque on the motor such that a strength curve is implemented relative to the position of the actuator.
Exercise assist apparatus
An exercise assist apparatus may include a frame and a cam assembly pivotally connected to the frame. A cable having one end fixedly secured to the frame may extend over a traveling pulley operably connected to the cam assembly and about a fixed pulley connected to the frame. One or more flexible progressive resistance bands may provide substantially linear assistance/resistance throughout an exercise.
SYSTEMS, METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DIFFERENTIAL AIR PRESSURE DEVICES
Described herein are various embodiments of differential air pressure systems and components for differential air pressure systems. The air pressure systems comprise a chamber for receiving at least a portion of a user's body. Pressure in the chamber can be changed to adjust force on the user's body. Described herein are various methods and related structures for sealing a user into a pressurizable chamber. Also described herein are various methods and related structures for changing the shape and/or height of the chamber. Described herein are various types and configurations of chambers and support structures for chambers. Also described herein are various methods and related systems for treating various conditions using the differential air pressure systems, including but not limited to obesity, cardiac disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, or Down Syndrome.
Virtual reality haptic system and apparatus
A virtual reality (VR) system includes a VR display and a VR movement apparatus that includes hand interfaces and foot interfaces that can support the hands and feet of a system user. The VR movement apparatus allow the user's limbs to move in 3-dimensional space that include vertical, lateral, and fore-aft direction movements. A computer running VR software coordinate and synchronizes the VR movement apparatus and the VR display to provide system users with simulated activities in a VR environment.
Exercise Device
An exercise device for seated exercising and heat therapy includes a chair, to which a plurality of biasers is operationally engaged. A pair of footrests and a pair of handrests are operationally engaged to the chair. Each footrest and each handrest is engageable to an associated foot and an associated hand of the user, respectively. The footrest is operationally engaged to a respective biaser so that the respective biaser is positioned to resist movement of the footrest relative to the chair. The handrest is operationally engaged to a respective biaser so that the respective biaser is positioned to resist movement of the handrest relative to the chair. The footrests and the handrests thus are useful in exercising feet and hands of the user, respectively. A plurality of heating elements, which is engaged to the chair, the footrests, and the handrests, can warm an abdomen and joints of the user.
SUSPENSION SYSTEM
The suspension system disclosed may be used to provide anti-gravity or pro-gravity affects to aid in exercise and rehabilitation. The system includes a frame assembly which supports an elastic cord. The elastic cord supports a portion of the weight of the user and exerts upward or downward pressure on the user to reduce or enhance the user's weight. The elastic is configured to equalize the forces on the system and permit free movement of the user while reducing or enhancing the user's weight. The system may be used by itself or with a number of different exercises and equipment.
Gait Correction Treadmill And Footwear System
A gait correction treadmill and footwear system includes a treadmill having a base, a rotating belt, and a harness device that extends upwardly from the front end of the treadmill overtop the rotating belt. Each shoe includes a wearable upper portion with pressure sensors and a control circuit between the insole, as well as electromagnets between the lower end of the insole and the shoe tread. The pressure sensors are configured to map the pressure layout of the wearer's step. The electromagnets interact with a magnetic plate disposed beneath the rotating belt. The heel ends of the shoes include a cable that connects to an adjustable harness device affixed to the treadmill. The system is configured to adjust the harness device to relieve pressure when the wearer steps and to adjust the strength of the electromagnets, thereby increasing or decreasing the force of the user's step to correct their gait.
Methods and apparatus for body weight support system
A body weight support system includes a trolley, a powered conductor operatively coupled to a power supply, and a patient attachment mechanism. The trolley can include a drive system, a control system, and a patient support system. The drive system is movably coupled to a support rail. At least a portion of the control system is physically and electrically coupled to the powered conductor. The patient support mechanism is at least temporarily coupled to the patient attachment mechanism. The control system can control at least a portion of the patient support mechanism based at least in part on a force applied to the patient attachment mechanism.
Rehabilitation aid
A rehabilitation therapy aid (FIG. 4), for use in aiding a patient to regain and improve movement and control in a limb, comprises a moveable structure (51) having engagement means (53) whereby the structure can be moved by the limb of a patient (72) requiring therapy and separate engagement means (52) whereby the structure can be moved in the same direction by a therapist (71) or by the patient's stronger limb. A movement detector (56) is arranged so that the movement of the structure (51) can be tracked by the patient and/or by the therapist.
