Embodiment Construction

[0046] The present disclosure relates to systems for prognostic assessment and neural induction of patients, as well as systems for assessing and developing a patient's ability to eat orally. In one aspect, the patient may be a premature infant; however, the system may also be used for patients who cannot properly suck or swallow to receive nutrients, including but not limited to term infants, toddlers, adolescents, and adults. For example, the system can be used to treat those already suffering from stroke, bleeding, heart defect, or other conditions associated with impairment of neural development or function.

[0047] In one aspect, the system of the present disclosure uses a bidirectional square wave form as the input signal to the patient. For example, a square wave pattern can be applied to a patient, where it is considered an input or feedback signal, which then acts as an artificial stimulus for a central pattern generator in the patient's brain. Thus, the square ...

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a therapeutic system and methods of using the therapeutic system. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a system for improving an oral feeding ability of a patient including an assessment device to contact a patient and collect data related to an oral feeding ability of the patient, a computing device containing a processor to execute an assessment and therapy application, and the assessment and therapy application to receive the data related to the oral feeding ability, predict one or more areas of neurological muscle activity that need further development, and develop a neurological therapy treatment for improving the one or more areas of neurological muscle activity that need further development.
