Unified controller for a powered knee prosthesis

Disclosed are prosthetic systems comprising a powered knee prosthesis and a volitional controller configured to provide control of the prosthesis to the user. The prosthetic system may be configured to enable a user to walk on smooth and / or uneven terrain and to ascend and / or descend stairs. The volitional controller may be configured in a contact state when the prosthesis is in contact with a ground surface and a no contact state when the prosthesis is lifted from the ground surface. When in the contact state, the controller may output a knee torque signal for controlling the powered knee of the prosthesis. The knee torque signal may be based on a target knee torque determined by the knee orientation and the torque measured at the ankle of a prosthetic foot. When in the no contact state, the controller may output a knee torque signal based on a desired knee position.

Adaptive stimulation device with integrated feedback mechanism and proxy measurement

PCT designated stageWO2026097013A1Machine learningExternal electrodesStimulus patternPhysical medicine and rehabilitation
An adaptive stimulation system optimizes pain relief, pleasure enhancement, and healing through closed-loop physiological effectiveness monitoring. The system comprises a stimulation device, sensors measuring physiological responses indicative of stimulation effectiveness, and a processor implementing real-time adaptive control. The system measures unconscious physiological responses that users cannot voluntarily control and involuntary reactions to objectively assess whether stimulation achieves desired outcomes. Through proxy learning, system sensors correlate with sophisticated clinical measurements via machine learning, enabling clinical-grade optimization using accessible devices. The system continuously explores multidimensional parameter spaces to discover optimal stimulation patterns personalized to individual users, automatically adapting parameters based on measured physiological effectiveness rather than subjective user control or preset patterns. Applications include medical devices, wellness products, and intimate stimulation systems.

Brain machine interface for rehabilitation of impaired movement

PCT designated stageWO2026136534A1Input/output for user-computer interactionSensorsTraumatic brain damageRehabilitation stroke
A system to rehabilitate stroke or traumatic brain injury survivors includes a brain machine interface that receives brain signals from the brain of a patient. The brain signals represent motor intent of the patient with respect to a hand of the patient that has impaired dexterous hand function due to neurological injury. A limb interface mounts to the hand of the patient. The limb interface detects feedback in the hand that results from the brain signals and helps to control the hand in accordance with the motor intent of the brain signals. The system also includes a processor operatively coupled to the brain machine interface and the limb interface. The processor is configured to synchronize the motor intent with the feedback to increase plasticity between sensory and motor areas of the brain to improve voluntary control of the hand, including dexterous hand functions such as multiple types of grasp.
