Patent number: 9248297Abstract: A system for treatment of gait disorders reflects, with electrical stimulation patterns fed to electrodes (1, 8) arranged at the patient, on the event of heel-strike and heel-off, the events being generated by a wireless heel switch (5). The pulse generator (4) also transfers the electrical energy needed to operate the heel switch (5) wirelessly. The event signal from the heel switch (5) is modulated in order to achieve a longer operating range.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2010Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: NEURODAN A/SInventors: Michael Høyer, Clemens Florian Eder, Morten Hansen

Patent number: 8626305Abstract: In a system for stimulation of nerves comprising implanted electrodes, an external to the system trigger device is equipped with a sensor and a transmitter for wirelessly broadcasting a signal to be received by a pulse generator for generating a pulse pattern to be forwarded to the at least one electrode implanted in the corpus of the living being. Further the trigger device is equipped with means for detecting if the patient is walking or just standing pulling the weight from one leg to another and can thus determine if a stimulation sequence has to be performed.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2011Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: Neurodan A/SInventors: Ricky Lindgaard Nielsen, Michael Høyer, Morten Hansen
