Abstract: A body weight support system includes a support track configured to movably suspend a trolley therefrom. A power rail of the system is coupled to the support track and is in electrical contact with the trolley. A switch included in the system has a support track portion and a power rail portion. The switch is configured to transition between a first configuration, in which a first portion of the support track and the support track portion of the switch define a first path, and a second configuration, in which a second portion of the support track and the support track portion of the switch define a second path. The trolley is configured to receive a flow of electric power from at least one of the power rail or the power rail portion of the switch that is operable to move the trolley along the first path or the second path.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a power adapter having a housing and a circuit at least partially disposed in the housing. The housing is configured to be coupled to an implantable device for disposition in a body. The circuit is configured to be electrically connected to a power circuit of the implantable device when the housing is coupled to the implantable electrical conductor. When the housing is coupled to the implantable electrical conductor and implanted in a body, the circuit is configured to (1) receive, transcutaneously from a power supply, a first energy, (2) convert the first energy to a second energy, and (3) transfer, to the implantable device, the second energy such that the second energy powers the implantable device.

Abstract: The embodiments and methods described herein relate to an improved functional electrical stimulation (FES) orthosis. An apparatus can include a frame assembly, an electrode assembly, and an electric stimulator. The frame assembly is removably coupleable to a portion of a limb. The electrode assembly is configured to be in electrical communication with a portion of a neuromuscular system of the limb, and includes first and second sets of electrodes. The electric stimulator is in electrical communication with the electrode assembly. The electric stimulator is configured to send a first signal substantially during a first time period and via a first channel to the first set of electrodes for stimulation of a neuromuscular system of the limb, and is configured to send a second signal, during at least one of the first time period or a subsequent second time period, via a second channel to the second set of electrodes for stimulation of the neuromuscular system of the limb.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a drive mechanism, a patient support mechanism, and an electronic system. The drive mechanism is included in a trolley and is configured to suspend the trolley from a support track. The drive mechanism includes a first sensor configured to sense an operating condition of the drive mechanism. The patient support mechanism couples to the trolley and includes a tether and a second sensor. The tether can be operatively coupled to a patient such that the patient support mechanism supports the patient. The second sensor is configured to sense an operating condition of the patient support mechanism. The electronic system is included in the trolley and has at least a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to define a gait characteristic of the patient based at least in part on a signal received from the first sensor and a signal received from the second sensor.

Abstract: Abstract The present invention provides improvements to an implant, system and method using passive electrical conductors which route electrical current to either external or implanted electrical devices, to multiple target body tissues and to selective target body 5 tissues. The passive electrical conductor extends from subcutaneous tissue located below either a surface cathodic electrode or o a surface anodic electrode a) to a target tissue to route electrical signals from the target body tissue to devices external to the body; b) to implanted electrical devices to deliver electrical current to such devices, or c) to multiple target body tissues or to selective target body tissues to stimulate the target 0 body tissues. The conductor has specialized ends for achieving such purposes. Fig. 2
