Abstract: A load bearing assistance apparatus for transferring load from a lower extremity orthotic or prosthetic device to the ground. The load bearing assistance apparatus includes a lateral and a medial spring-loaded members and a linking mechanism for connecting the load bearing assistance apparatus to the lower extremity orthotic or prosthetic device. The linking mechanism also connects the lateral and medial spring-loaded members in a spaced apart configuration so as to position them adjacent the lateral and medial portions, respectively, of the foot of the user of the lower extremity orthotic or prosthetic device and such that a portion of the lateral and medial spring-loaded members enters in contact with the ground during locomotion.

Abstract: A load distribution device for transferring musculoskeletal stress from joints to body segments of the lower extremities of a user. The device includes actuation of the hips and knees that follows and assists the user's movement in a complimentary way. The complimentary assistance and load distribution device combine to reduce the loading on the user's joints and increase the user's strength. By assisting the user's hip and/or knees as needed, the device allows the user to achieve improved strength, reduces the metabolic requirements for motion, and increases comfort during physical activity. The load distribution device follows the user's limbs through the full joint range of motion and can be used in both passive and active modes.

Abstract: A system and method for generating a physiological assessment of a user from biomechanical data gathered from the user. The method comprises the steps of acquiring biomechanical data of the user. generating trajectory data of the user using the acquired biomechanical data. classifying the trajectory data into variables of interest data according to a set of key biomechanical features, rejecting variables of interest data that do not fit a pre-determined acceptance criteria. extracting key features of the non-rejected variables of interest data: calculating a current cumulative risk data based on 1) the extracted key features: 2) a user profile covariate data: and 3) the variables of interest data, and generating the physiological assessment of the user using the current cumulative risk data.

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) geolocation system for providing the 3D coordinates of a moving person in the absence of a Global Positioning System (GPS) signal. The 3D geolocation system uses two inertial sensors configured to be positioned at the left and right foot-ankle structure and a series of sensors to measure the spatial orientation of each segment of the lower limbs (shanks, thighs, trunk) of the user. In one example, the 3D geolocation system uses two additional inertial sensors at the left and right leg-knee or thigh-hip structure as well as sensors providing information indicative of the angular positions of the left and right knee and thigh, which may be provided by an exoskeleton or orthotic devices worn by the user. This determination of the 3D coordinates of the user is performed using biomechanics information about the user from the inertial sensors combined with the knee and hip angles.
