Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for training of neuromuscular functions using a gait trainer comprising an electrical motor, a weight sensor and a cable and a gait trainer therefore. The method may comprise an act of determining a counterbalance weight to be applied to the cable by the electrical motor and an act of measuring with the weight sensor an actual applied weight to the cable by the patient, wherein a drive direction of the electrical motor is determined based on comparing the counterbalance weight with the measuring of the actual applied weight to the cable by the patient. The gait trainer may comprise a hoist system with a rotatable cable drum and a cable to wind or rewind the cable around a rotatable cable drum in accordance with the drive direction set, based on the compared counterbalance weight with the measuring of the actual applied weight to the cable by the patient.

Abstract: A hoisting system (1) with a hoisting apparatus (2) for hoisting persons (4), e.g., physically handicapped persons, where the hoist system (1) includes at least one trolley (11) and at least one hoisting apparatus (2), which are integrated and provided assembled in a rail (9) arranged therefor, where the system is driven by at least one motor (14). By building the trolley (11) together with the hoisting apparatus (2), there is achieved the great advantage that the hoisting apparatus (2) is hidden inside the rail (9). Thus, a much more discreet and smart system is achieved where, otherwise, a large and unsightly hoisting apparatus would hang under the rail (9). Furthermore, an increased clearance between the hoist system (1) and the floor is attained.

Abstract: A method for intelligent control includes an exchange of historical parameters of events for operating a system and operating a hoist where an electric motor, preferably a DC-motor, is used for lifting and lowering a lifting belt. It can take place at different speeds by registering amperage through the motor and to perform a switching between fast and slow speed when a given current level is reached. The change in hoisting/lowering speed is achieved when a control unit changes the voltage supplied by the battery unit to the DC-motor or changes the frequency of power supply to an AC-motor. The method makes it possible to control the system and to optimize the hoisting/lowering speed for the lifting belt depending on the load thereon.
