Patent number: 11285025Abstract: A prosthetic foot assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes a pivoting ankle joint with a hydraulic system, a prosthetic foot connected to the distal side of the ankle joint, and, at the proximal side, the ankle joint includes a transducer with pyramid adaptor for attaching to a pylon. The ankle joint sensor provides data collection during the stance and optionally, the swing, phases of walking using, for example, strain gages and accelerometers. Also disclosed are methods for real-time feature extraction. Key parameters are captured to which are applied linear, fuzzy logic, neural net, or generic algorithms to determine current state (walking flat, uphill, downhill etc.) in real time and execute changes to the angle between the ankle and foot almost instantaneously based on those parameters.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2019Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Inventors: Adam Arabian, David Alan Boone, Ben Gilbert Macomber, Tyler Butel, Robert Dustin Lane

Publication number: 20170249821Abstract: A method for assessing the risk of a patient to fall. The method includes attaching a pedometer on a patient, wherein the pedometer includes one or more sensors, allowing the patient to engage in activities throughout a predetermined period of time in, at least, an environment the patient occupies for a majority of the day while the pedometer senses information relating to steps taken by the patient. With one or more computers or with the pedometer, calculating at least one step variable from the acceleration information. With one or more computers or with the pedometer, comparing the at least one calculated step variable to a model step variable, and with one or more computers. Then, providing an assessment of the risk of the patient to fall. The pedometer may alert the patient when a risk of falling is detected.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2016Publication date: August 31, 2017Applicant: Orthocare Innovations LLCInventors: Kim Lisa Coleman Boone, David Alan Boone, Adam Arabian, Michael Orendurff

Patent number: 9241812Abstract: A vacuum pump system for a prosthesis device includes an enhanced suspension mechanism and cooperates with a pressure source, an adaptor assembly, circuitry, and a power source. A virtually air-tight seal between a residual limb and a socket of the prosthesis allows a vacuum fit to be generated by the pump system. The pump system may be controlled with various circuits and processors receiving instructions from a software program. The pump system may be located within a pylon, but yet remain vibrationally and acoustically de-coupled from the pylon.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2010Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Inventors: James Jay Martin, Pravin Chaubey, David Boone, Matt Kozlowski, Adam Arabian
