  • Adaptive writing utensil
    Patent number: 11565543
    Abstract: A writing utensil adapted for promoting the development of a tripod writing grip includes an elongate body having a substantially polygonal cross section, and having three faces extending between a proximal end and a distal end thereof, and a boss member extending from an intermediate portion of the elongate body, the boss member being adapted for impeding a user's fingers from sliding along a longitudinal axis of the elongate body.
    Type: Grant

  • Haptic device and methods for abnormal limb biomechanics
    Patent number: 10529254
    Abstract: The system and methods describe relate to the diagnosis and quantification of abnormal limb biomechanics. Different embodiments may be used to train clinicians in better understanding the causality of haptic sensation associated with neurological impairments and abnormal biomechanics during manipulation of a patients' limb. The system and methods may be used as a tool in which clinicians participate in the diagnosis of abnormal biomechanics. In one embodiment, assessment of abnormal biomechanics may be performed remotely. In another embodiment, the system may be used as a test bed for developing novel assessment techniques and targeted interventions.
