System and method for determining patient posture based on 3-D trajectory using an implantable medical device
InactiveUS7149579B1Reliably detects change in postureReliable distinctionElectrotherapyAccelerometerMedicine
Time-varying spatial signals are detected by accelerometers mounted within the patient. The signals, representative of the actual 3-D trajectory of the patient, are compared with information representative of expected trajectories retrieved from memory to identify a current patient posture, which may be either a dynamic posture such as walking or running or a change in posture such as rising from a seated position to a standing position. In this manner, a change in posture of the patient is identified based upon a full 3-D trajectory, rather than merely the orientation of the patient at the beginning and the end of the change in posture. In an example described herein, the implantable device stores information representative of expected 3-D trajectories in the form of pre-calculated comparison matrices derived from orthonormal kernels employing Laguerre functions or Lagrange functions. A technique is also described for use by an external programmer for pre-calculating comparison matrices so as to reduce the processing burden within the implanted device during posture detection.

Posture and body movement measuring system
A sensing device is attached to a living subject that includes a first sensors for distinguishing lying, sitting, and standing positions. In another embodiment, sensor data is stored in a storage device as a function of time. Multiple points or multiple intervals of the time dependent data are used to direct a feedback mechanism to provide information or instruction in response to the time dependent output indicating too little activity, too much time with a joint not being moved beyond a specified range of motion, too many motions beyond a specified range of motion, or repetitive activity that can cause repetitive stress injury.

The rails have a rectangular cross-section angled 45° to horizontal, and roller assemblies on the platform include wheels angled to engage the surfaces of the rails substantially normal thereto. The adjustable bar assemblies include upwardly extending bars having upper members that are rotatable about a generally vertical axis so that handle portions at the upper ends thereof extend in different direction. At least one of the bar assemblies is also selectively pivotable about a horizontal axis to positions in which it is engaged by a locking assembly on the frame of the machine. The machine enables the user to perform a wide variety of exercises in reclined, prone, seated and standing positions, both on and off the platform.

A sit down and stand up walker for assisting a user during walking and when not walking in a standing, partially standing or sitting positions with partial or full weight bearing support and with means to change from standing, partially standing to sitting positions with partial weight bearing support to a fixed elevation with full weight bearing support in any varied or repeated sequence. The partial or full weight bearing means supports a seat assembly which includes a seat and front body support with adjustable positioning to provide pelvic stability. The angle of the seat assembly relative to a flat ground surface is maintained at any elevation of the seat assembly between a standing and sitting position. The weight bearing means is responsive to the variable force supplied by the user as the user walks, stands or sits allowing the seat assembly to move up or down. The weight bearing means in a preferred embodiment is an enclosed gas spring cylinder with piston rod that can be locked at differing elevations or released to respond to a user's body force as the user walks, stands or sits. The walker is intended to be moved without the user's hands holding onto the frame thereby promoting a normal gait and posture. The walker enables the user to expend less energy as the body's center of gravity with partial or full weight bearing support rises and falls with each stride. The walker facilitates transfers from a sitting to standing positions and vice versa by the user independently without the intervention of caregivers.
