Abstract: A system includes at least three sensors, an electrode array, a muscle stimulator, and a microprocessor. The sensors are configured to be arranged substantially in a common plane and associated with a foot of a body. Additionally, each of the sensors are configured to produce a signal associated with an orientation of the foot. The electrode array is coupled to a lower limb of the body and configured to stimulate at least one muscle of the lower limb. The muscle stimulator is coupled to the electrode array and configured to output a muscle stimulation signal to the electrode array. The microprocessor is coupled to the sensors and configured to calculate an orientation of the foot based on the signals produced by the sensors. Additionally, the microprocessor is configured to control the muscle stimulation output via the muscle stimulator based on the calculated orientation of the foot.

Abstract: A system and related method for characterizing an effect of a rehabilitation therapy on a body. The apparatus includes a first device, which is configured to be coupled to the body at a first location, and a second device, which is configured to be coupled to the body at a second location that is separated from the first location by a distance. The first device is configured to generate a wireless signal. The second device is configured to detect the wireless signal and to generate data based on the detected wireless signal that is configured to be used to calculate the distance. The distance is used to characterize the effect of the rehabilitation therapy on the body.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a frame, a sensor, and an electric stimulator. The frame is removably couplable to a portion of a limb. The sensor is configured to produce a first signal associated with a gait characteristic at a first time, and a second signal associated with the gait characteristic at a second time, after the first time. The electric stimulator is removably coupled to the frame and is in electrical communication with an electrode assembly and the sensor to receive the first signal substantially at the first time and the second signal substantially at the second time. Based in part on the gait characteristic at the first time, the electric stimulator sends a third signal to the electrode assembly to provide an electric stimulation to a portion of a neuromuscular system of the limb substantially during a time period defined between the first time and the second time.

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: A body weight support system includes a support track, a trolley, and a power rail. The support track has a first portion and a second portion. The trolley has a support assembly and a drive assembly. The support assembly is configured to support at least a portion of a body weight of a user. The drive assembly is configured to movably suspend the trolley from the first portion of the support track when the user moves along a first surface and is configured to movably suspend the trolley from the second portion of the support track when the user moves along a second surface separate from the first surface. The power rail is coupled to the support track and is configured to be in electrical contact with a portion of the trolley as the trolley moves along the first portion and the second portion of the support track.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a plate configured to support a user standing thereon, a set of fluid chambers configured to support at least a portion of the plate, and an electronic assembly in communication with at least one sensor. The sensor configured to sense a first operating condition associated with at least one of the set of fluid chambers and the plate. The electronic assembly is configured to define a second operating condition based at least in part on a difference between the first operating condition and a predetermined operating condition. The electronic assembly is configured to send (1) a first signal operable to transition each fluid chamber from a first configuration, associated with the first operating condition, to a second configuration, associated with the second operating condition, and (2) a second signal operable to graphically represent data associated with the second operating condition on a display of an electronic device.
