    Abstract: A gait orthotic device, such as a powered exoskeleton, includes at least one joint; at least one actuator configured to cause movement of the device at the joint; a cushioning mechanism coupled to the device for absorbing energy or spreading a force during an impact with a surface or object; and a controller. The controller is configured to determine when a fall is occurring and direct the actuator to: orient the device so the cushioning mechanism makes contact with the surface or object during the fall; or reduce a kinetic energy of the device during the fall by performing positive joint work. The cushioning mechanism can take various forms, including an airbag, a spring, a bumper, a roll bar or a kickstand. Preferably, the cushioning mechanism is an airbag in the form of an airbag module that is detachably coupled to the device for removal and replacement.

    Abstract: A traction device comprises a frame, a first bladder portion, a second bladder portion, a spacer, and a pump. The first bladder expands in an outward direction a distance greater than in a transverse direction. The second bladder expands in an angular direction. The second bladder is positioned generally below and to the side of the first bladder. Upon expanding in the outward direction, the first bladder bears against the back of the user's neck. Upon expanding in the transverse direction, the first bladder applies an angular traction to the cervical spine. Upon expanding in the angular direction, the second bladder bears angularly against the back of the user's upper thoracic region.

    Abstract: An apparatus for assisting the balance of a user is disclosed herein. The apparatus includes a first control moment gyroscope (CMG) and a second CMG configured as a scissor pair. The first CMG includes a first flywheel and a second flywheel, a first motor that rotates the first and second flywheels, a first gimbal supporting the first and second flywheel, and a first gimbal servo to rotate the first gimbal. The second CMG includes a third flywheel and a forth flywheel, a second motor that rotates the third and fourth flywheels, a second gimbal supporting the third and fourth flywheels, and a second gimbal servo to rotate the second gimbal. The apparatus additionally includes a gyroscope controller controlling the first gimbal servo and the second gimbal servo.
