Abstract: A method of rehabilitation using an actuator type that includes a movement mechanism capable of applying a force that interacts with a motion of a patient's limb in a volume of at least 30 cm in diameter, in at least three degrees of freedom of motion of the actuator and capable of preventing substantial motion in any point in any direction in said volume, comprising: exercising a patient at a first place of rehabilitation selected from a bed, a wheel-chair, a clinic and a home, using an actuator of said actuator type which interacts with a motion of said patient; and second exercising said patient at a second place of rehabilitation selected from a bed, a wheel-chair, a clinic and a home using a second actuator of said actuator type which interacts with a motion of said patient; wherein said first exercising and said second exercising utilize a same movement mechanism design for moving the actuators.

Abstract: Apparatus for muscle activation, comprising: at least one electrode (138, 140, 142, 144) adapted to deliver a neuromuscular stimulation (NMES) signal to a body portion (146); at least one controller (124) adapted to provide a NMES signal comprising a sequence of stimulation signals to said at least one electrode; and a mechanical motion element (300) coupled to at least one of said body portion and a mirror body portion, wherein said mechanical motion element is operatively coupled to said at least one controller and wherein said at least one controller controls said NMES signal in conjunction with said mechanical motion element.

Abstract: A rehabilitation chair system, comprising: a seat adapted for sitting of a human thereon; at least one extender adapted to move relative to said seat; at least one sensor which generates an indication of a balance state of said human; and a controller configured to move said extender while measuring said balance state using said at least one sensor.

Abstract: Apparatus for rehabilitating a patient who has a paretic body part, the apparatus comprising: a) at least one electromyograph (EMG) sensor adapted to being applied to a voluntary muscle of a healthy body part of the same type as the paretic body part, which at least one sensor produces at least one EMG signal; b) a neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) device adapted for stimulating at least one voluntary muscle of the paretic body part; and c) a controller which controls the NMES device, making the amplitude of stimulation of the paretic body part at least partly dependent on the EMG signal from the healthy body part.

Abstract: A method for gait rehabilitation, comprising, identifying at least one deficient gait element; exercising said deficient gait element individually using a rehabilitation apparatus; and exercising said deficient gait element in concert with at least one other gait element using said rehabilitation apparatus.

Abstract: Rehabilitation apparatus, comprising: at least one motion support element adapted to support a motion of a part of a human; a generator of rhythmic audio; and a controller configured to correlate an audio output of said generator and said supported motion.

Abstract: An apparatus for rehabilitation, comprising, an elongate object adapted to be hand-held and manipulated using fingers and be used in a task; and a fine motion mechanism coupled to said object and adapted to apply force to said object, sufficient to at least move said object.

Abstract: A computerized clinic management system. The system includes a database of patient records and a database of clinic resources reflecting a temporal availability of each individual resource in the database of clinic resources. The system optionally also includes and a scheduling module designed and configured to determine an initial subset of clinic resources required for an initial treatment plan for a patient based upon analysis of the database of patient records and to determine an initial schedule of therapy for said patient based upon further analysis of temporal availability of the subset of said clinic resources.
