Abstract:
An exoskeleton includes a control system which incorporates a feedback system used to establish and communicate orthosis operational information to a physical therapist and/or to an exoskeleton user. The feedback system can take various forms, including employing sensors to establish a feedback ready value and communicating the value through one or more light sources which can be in close proximity to joints of the exoskeleton joints.
Abstract:
The treatment device for hemiplegia comprises a robot which is putted on the hemiplegic side of the body of a subject; a motion measurement unit for measuring the motion of the healthy side of the body of the subject; and a control which is connected with the robot and the motion measurement unit, wherein the control unit is configured to receive the healthy side's motion measured by the motion measurement unit and to control the robot, whereby the hemiplegic side having the robot put thereon moves in accordance with the motion of the healthy side of the body.
Abstract:
A device for assessing and display of a difference in vectors of forces exercised by a pair of arms or legs of exercising persons, e. g. patients suffering from a damage of the musculoskeletal or nervous system or sportsmen comprises a housing (1) with preferably two means (2) for a participation with a pair of limbs—arms or legs, wherein the means (2) are designed in various ways with the purpose to allow proper participation with the treated pair of limbs in an individual exercise, and are arranged on bearings (3) within the housing (1), further comprising a microcontroller (8) and optionally a computer (13), the Internet (14) for connection to an expert centre (15). Each means (2) is connected with a means (4) for the measurement of forces (F). The device of the invention further includes an accelerometer (5), a gyroscope (6) and a magnetometer (7) for the determination of its position and orientation in space, wherein all data from said means (4), said accelerometer (5), said gyroscope (6) and magnetometer (7) are gathered by said microcontroller (8) that evaluates them with models and algorithms, and said data are continuously displayed on a display (9), a monitor or a TV screen, notifying the exercising person on the exercising status and suggesting next steps.

Abstract:
Provided according to embodiments of the invention are methods of improving the effectiveness of chest compressions as part of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Such methods include monitoring PPG signals from a PPG sensor secured to a nose during at least one chest compression and increasing, decreasing or maintaining a at least one of the depth, duration and frequency of at least one subsequent chest compression based on a waveform parameter of the PPG signals. Related devices and systems are also provided.

Abstract:
A crutch includes a grip and a forearm support that are coupled to an elongated member that extends from the forearm support to the ground. The inner surface of the forearm support can correspond to a digital representation of a forearm of the patient and the outer surface of the hand grip can correspond to a digital representation of a palmar surface of the patient's hand in at least a partially closed position.
