A patient support apparatus may include a frame. A control module may be positioned on the frame. A graphical user interface may be in communication with the control module. An exercise apparatus may be coupled to the frame and may be in communication with the control module.

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.

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.

There is provided a treadmill deck (10) for supporting at least part of a treadmill belt, the deck (10) including a foot strike area (12) disposed towards one end of the deck, and a foot take-off area (14) disposed towards another end of the deck, an upper surface of one of the areas including: a lateral inward or outward slope, which provides a lateral gradient across at least part of the area (12, 14), and an upper surface of the other of the areas (14, 12) including one of: a laterally horizontal surface or a lateral inward or outward slope, which provides a lateral gradient across at least part of that other area (14, 12).

An apparatus and method for automating neuromuscular training may be used in conjunction with a human trainer or by a person training alone. The apparatus and method may be applied to various forms of neuromuscular training. The apparatus may be employed by a person desiring training in an environment with a human trainer as well as, or alternatively, in a home environment for personal training. Embodiments enable training of relative motions between body parts such as the head, neck, shoulders, upper torso, lower torso. These relative motions may be linear and/or angular. Pressure/sensor assemblies facilitate both the suggestion of desired motions as well as sensing of the person's neuromuscular response to these suggestions.

The present invention relates to a rehabilitation system for rehabilitating a person with a neurological condition, such as a spinal cord injury (SCI). The system includes exercise equipment for enabling the person to exercise. One or more sensors are provided for sensing information from the person during exercise. The system also includes a model of the exercising person configured to receive the sensed information from the sensors and generate electrical stimulation for the person. Advantageously, the personalized computer model may be used to generate suitable electrical stimulation for the person, and avoid excessive stresses on the person which can lead to the fracturing of bones.

To control a cognitive load to be given to the cognitive function of a user in rehabilitation, this invention provides a rehabilitation support apparatus including a detector that detects a three-dimensional rehabilitation action of the user, a display controller that generates, in a three-dimensional virtual space, an avatar object that moves in accordance with the detected rehabilitation action and a target object to be visually recognized by the user and displays these on a display, a notifier that notifies generation of the target object, and a cognitive load controller that gives a cognitive load to the user by generating the target object after an elapse of a predetermined time from the notification of the generation position of the target object.

A balance training apparatus that allows a training person having a disease in his/her balance function to perform appropriate rehabilitation training safely in order to recover the balance function is provided. The balance training apparatus includes a moving carriage configured to be able to move on a moving surface by driving a driving unit, a detection unit configured to detect a load received from training person's feet standing on the moving carriage, a calculation unit configured to calculate a load's center of gravity of the training person's feet on a boarding surface from the load detected by the detection unit, and a control unit configured to convert a displacement amount of the load's center of gravity into a control amount using a setting selected from a plurality of settings, and drive the driving unit based on the control amount to control movement of the moving carriage.
