  • Micro-RNAs as biomarkers for subconcussive and concussive injury and therapeutic applications
    Patent number: 11739323
    Abstract: The invention includes compositions and methods useful for the diagnosis and treatment of head or brain injury in a subject in need thereof, based upon the expression level of at least one miRNA that is associated with head or brain injury.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 7, 2018
    Date of Patent: August 29, 2023
    Assignee: Temple University-Of The Commonwealth System of Higher Education
    Inventors: Matthew B. Hudson, Dianne Langford, John Jeka, Ryan Tierney
  • Wearable stochastic galvanic stimulation device
    Patent number: 11484712
    Abstract: The present invention provides in part wearable devices for balance control. The wearable devices are capable of non-invasively monitoring and stimulating the wearer's vestibular system such that it produces postural responses. The wearable devices deliver low levels of electrical current to the vestibular system of a user to maintain balance. In one example, the wearable device is in the form of a pair of glasses.

  • Balance training system
    Patent number: 8900165
    Abstract: Provided is a balance training system for improving postural control of a user by providing visual feedback regarding the user's center of mass (CoM) to the user on a display. The balance training system includes a balance improvement module connected to the display, and a first sensor which captures information about a position of the user with respect to a platform of the balance training system on which platform the user is moving and which provides the captured information to the balance improvement module. The balance improvement module is configured to extract CoM information of the user from the captured information, to compare the extracted CoM information with a target area for the user's CoM on the platform, and to provide results of the comparison to the display for displaying the results to the user.
