Abstract:
A method of operating an exoskeleton device includes: receiving sensor information; connecting a clutch system to a pulley system in; determining whether to engage a drive train gear to the clutch system based on the sensor information; engaging the drive train gear through the clutch system when determined to engage the drive train gear; and powering a first motor to drive the drive train gear for controlling a joint or segment of exoskeleton device.
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:
An actuator system for extending and flexing a joint, including a multi-motor assembly for providing a rotational output, a rotary-to-linear mechanism for converting the rotational output from the multi-motor assembly into an extension and flexion of the joint, and a controller for operating the actuator system in several operational modes. The multi-motor assembly preferably combines power from two different sources, such that the multi-motor assembly can supply larger forces at slower speeds ("Low Gear") and smaller forces at higher speeds ("High Gear"). The actuator has been specifically designed for extending and flexing a joint (such as an ankle, a knee, an elbow, or a shoulder) of a human. The actuator system may, however, be used to move any suitable object through any suitable movement (linear, rotational, or otherwise).
Abstract:
Gantry system (1) for human gait training comprising an overhead track (2), a carriage (3) with a wheel or wheels (4) movable along the overhead track (2), and a harness (5) for sup-porting a user (6) exercising its gait, which harness (5) is suspended from the carriage (3) by a chain, rope, strap, belt or cable (7) including coupled with an elastic member (8), wherein the carriage (3) is provided with a coupling mechanism or mechanisms that directly or indirectly connects to the chain, rope, strap, belt or cable (7} and directly or indirectly to the overhead track (2) so as to arrange that up-and-down movement of the harness (5) actuates the coupling mechanism or mechanisms, and that such actuation of the coupling mechanism or mechanisms translates into unidirectional movement of the carriage (3) along the track (2).

Abstract:
A knee rehabilitative device permits a user to provide resistive stretching caused when the leg or other joint is extended or straightened, facilitating exercise and strengthening of the user's muscles and improved flexibility in the area of the knee or other joint area.
Abstract:
A wearable apparatus for the treatment or prevention of osteopenia or osteoporosis, stimulating bone growth, preserving or improving bone mineral density, and inhibiting adipogenesis is disclosed where the apparatus may generally comprise one or more vibrating elements configured for imparting repeated mechanical loads to the hip, femur, and/or spine of an individual at a frequency and acceleration sufficient for therapeutic effect. These vibrating elements may be secured to the upper body of an individual via one or more respective securing mechanisms, where the securing mechanisms are configured to position the one or more vibrating elements in a direction lateral to the individual, and the position, tension, and efficacy of these vibrating elements may be monitored and/or regulated by one or more accelerometers.

Abstract:
A mouse-type rehabilitation exercise device includes a mouse body on which a hand is mounted, a wheel moving the mouse body, a first motor aligning a position of the wheel such that the mouse body moves to a desired direction, a second motor rotating the wheel such that the wheel aligned by the first motor moves to a desired position, a clutch disposed between the second motor and the wheel to enable and disable a power transmitting to the wheel from the second motor, and a controller controlling a driving of the first motor, the second motor, and the clutch.
