  • Human movement research, therapeutic, and diagnostic devices, methods, and systems
    Patent number: 10406059
    Abstract: Systems for machine-based rehabilitation of movement disorders including gait therapy applications can apply controlled forces to the pelvis and/or other body parts including knee and ankle joints. Cable-driven systems for gait therapy applications can apply controlled forces to, in respective embodiments, the pelvis and the pelvis, knee and ankle joints. In further embodiments, systems for gait therapy can be treadmill-based or walker-based. In embodiments, a controlled downforce is applied to the hip with augmentation including supportive forces. In further embodiments, the technology is activated through cables that provide support and limb-flexing moments with low inertia and friction resistance. In further embodiments, assistance is configured for gait therapy in children.
