Method and apparatus for biomechanical correction of gait and posture
InactiveUS6231527B1Highly accurateHighly simplifiedCosmonautic condition simulationsPerson identificationBiomechanicsMedical prescription
A method and apparatus have been devised for analyzing abnormal conditions of gait and posture and for translating such analysis into biomechanical correction through the utilization of orthotics alone and in combination with other measures and which includes a walking platform upon which a patient can stride, video cameras directed at the patient including a frontal camera, lateral camera, overhead camera and lower rear camera, mirrors to produce reflected images of the patient from selected of the cameras, and a closed circuit television for simultaneously displaying images of the patient when striding on the walking platform; and such information is coordinated with more traditional diagnostic measures for determining or sensing ground reactive and weight-bearing forces on the feet both when static and during ambulation to produce an accurate prescription through the use of orthotics alone and in combination with other measures.

Method of providing percutaneous intramuscular stimulation
InactiveUS20080177351A1Retards or prevents muscle disuse atrophyMaintains muscle range-of-motionElectrotherapyArtificial respirationPhysical therapyTherapeutic electrical stimulation
A method selects a patient for therapeutic electrical stimulation of selected muscles. The patient is provided with a portable electrical pulse generator, which is coupled via an electrode cable assembly to intramuscular simulation electrodes percutaneously implanted directly into selected muscles of a patient. A clip connects the electrical pulse generator to the patient so that the electrical pulse generator and the electrode cable assembly coupled to the intramuscular stimulation electrodes ambulate with the patient. The electrical pulse generator is operated to apply therapeutic electrical stimulation of the selected muscles during ambulation of the patient. Periodically, the battery is replaced by releasing a battery access cover.

System and methods for measuring propulsive force during ambulation and providing real-time feedback
InactiveUS20140336003A1Increased forward propulsionEasy to understandDiagnostic recording/measuringSensorsPhysical medicine and rehabilitationDuring ambulation
The invention measures propulsive force of an ambulating subject to provide real-time feedback, which may be used for clinical assessment or rehabilitation / training such as that related to walking ability, or any other form of ambulation. Subjects with propulsive deficits have a considerable and underutilized propulsive reserve available during level ambulation. The invention uses real-time propulsive feedback as a therapeutic strategy to encourage a subject to access the propulsive reserve and improve forward propulsion during ambulation.

Limb prosthesis
Disclosed are limb prostheses for use when normal use of the lower leg is temporarily or permanently lost due to lower leg injury or disease, including below-knee amputation. Disclosed prostheses provide full body weight support and allow a wearer to maintain the use of the hands and arms during ambulation. In addition, a wearer can maintain use of their own knee to flex and extend during ambulation, thereby better controlling the prosthesis during motion and providing a more normal gait as compared to previously known devices. In the event of permanent loss of the lower leg due to below-knee amputation, the disclosed prosthesis provides an alternative to socket-type prosthetic devices.

Prosthetics using curved dampening cylinders
Prosthetic joint and limb components utilize a single, curved dampening cylinder to reduce component count and wear. A prosthetic foot / ankle requires only three major components; namely, a housing adapted for coupling to a foot blade, an ankle component adapted for coupling to a pylon, and a piston that moves within a curved cylinder in the housing during ambulation. The ankle component is pivotally attached to the housing at the center of curvature of the cylinder. The piston defines front and rear, variable volume chambers in the cylinder. The chambers are in fluid communication with one another via a port, such that fluid is exchanged between the chambers through one-way check valves as the ankle pivots between plantarflexion and dorsiflexion. Fluid flow is independently adjustable to establish and maintain desired levels of dampening during plantarflexion and dorsiflexion, including different levels of dampening.
