A computer-implemented method is disclosed. The method includes determining whether one or more messages have been received from at least one of an electromechanical machine, a sensor, and an interface. Then the one or more messages may pertain to at least one of a user and a usage of the electromechanical machine by the user. The electromechanical machine may be configured to be manipulated by the user while the user is performing a treatment plan. The method also includes, responsive to determining that the one or more messages have not been received, determining, using one or more machine learning models, one or more preventative actions to perform. The method also includes causing the one or more preventative actions to be performed.

A chin-up/pull-up exercise apparatus is disclosed. The exercise apparatus includes a frame, an overhead assist module, and a chin bar. The chin bar is connected to the frame. The overhead assist module includes a set of pulleys, a harness, and a cable spool connected to a motor. The set of pulleys, which is connected to the frame, is positioned vertically above the chin bar. A cable, which travels on the set of pulleys, is connected to the harness and the cable spool that can be rotated by the motor. The exercise machine enables real, full arm extension pull ups regardless of one's upper body strength with applications for physical therapy; physical exercise training; muscle, tendon, and joint rehabilitation; and upper and lower body strength building.

A FEPS (flexion extension pronation supination) device includes: a structural frame; a shaft mounted to rotate relative to the structure frame; and a brake that is structured to apply a selectively variable resistance against rotation of the shaft relative to the structural frame. A FEPS (flexion extension pronation supination) device includes: a structural frame; a shaft mounted to rotate relative to the structure frame; and a gripping member mounted to the structural frame and structured to adhere to an external support surface. A method includes operating the FEPS device by rotating the shaft.

A soft-inflatable exosuit for knee rehabilitation is fabricated in two different beam-like structures (I and O cross-section actuators) and mechanically characterized for their torque performance in knee-extension assistance. The fabrication procedure of both types of actuators is presented as well as their integration into a light-weight, low-cost and body-conforming interface. To detect the activation duration of the device during the gait cycle, a soft-silicone insole with embedded force-sensitive resistors (FSRs) is used. In evaluation studies, the soft inflatable exosuit device is tested for its ability to reduce muscle activity during the swing phase of the knee. Using sEMG (surface electromyography) sensors, the rectus femoris muscle group of a healthy individual is recorded while walking on a treadmill at a constant speed, with and without the soft device.

An upper limb exercise apparatus comprises a base, a frame, and a display mounted on the frame. The apparatus further comprises 5-bar linkage-type movable parts positioned on the display and including a first link and a second link. The first link comprises a 1-1 member having one end attached to the frame and being rotationally driven, and a 1-2 member having one end rotatably attached to the other end of the 1-1 member, the other end having attached thereto a handle for gripping. The second link comprises a 2-1 member having one end attached to the frame and being rotationally driven, and a 2-2 member having one end rotatably attached to the other end of the 2-1 member, the other end having attached thereto the handle and the other end of the 1-2 member. Series elastic actuators attached to the 1-1 member and the 2-1 member provide torque.

A lightweight, mobile treadmill attachment designed for effective weight reduction, anti-gravity suspension is disclosed. The treadmill attachment provides a system in which an elastic cord is suspended within a frame that attaches to the arms of a treadmill. The elastic cord imparts an equalized lifting force throughout the suspension system by a rope camming system to a user to provide an effective weight loss and anti-gravity functionality.

Systems and methods for management and scheduling of differential air pressure (DAP) and other unweighted or assisted treatment systems are provided. The methods and systems can include generation of a suggested workout based on matching user data to data of other users sharing similar characteristics using an aggregate database of user information and related workout information. The methods and systems can include matching a user to an available and/or appropriate DAP system. Also provided are methods and systems including performing a workout and uploading performance information to an aggregate database of user information.

There is described an integrated unweighted gait training system having an unweighting system comprising a computer controller; a gait measurement system in communication with the controller; and a display in communication with the computer controller adapted and configured to provide real-time feedback to a user of the integrated unweighting gait training system. The unweighting system may be a differential air pressure (DAP) unweighting system or a non-DAP unweighting system.

A walking training apparatus 1 includes a leg robot 2 attached to a leg of a walking trainee, a motor 261 configured to rotationally drive a knee joint 22 of the leg robot 2, a control unit 332 configured to control the motor 261 so that the motor 261 rotationally drives the knee joint 22 in a leg-idling period in a gait motion of the walking trainee, a motor torque detection unit 262 configured to detect a motor torque, the motor torque being a torque generated by the motor 261, and a determination unit 333 configured to determine whether or not the walking trainee is in a spasticity state or a rigidity state by using a value of the motor torque detected in the leg-idling period by the motor torque detection unit 262.

An upper-limb rehabilitation assisting device includes first and second handles coupled to first and second rotating shafts and rotationally operated by hands on a paralytic limb side and a healthy limb side; first and second biosignal detecting parts that detect first and second biosignals corresponding to the paralytic limb side and the healthy limb side; first and second drive parts that drive the first and second rotating shafts; and a control part that performs a cooperative control of the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft. The control part controls the torques of the first and second drive parts at the time of the cooperative control of the first and second rotating shafts the basis of the degree of cooperation between the first and second biosignals.
