  • Publication number: 20210161430
    Abstract: Methods and/or systems for diagnosing, monitoring and/or treating persons at risk for falling and/or other pathological conditions. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, people are diagnosed before they actually start falling. Optionally, the diagnosis includes trying out and identifying one or more fall triggers using virtual reality tools. Optionally or alternatively, treatment includes training the persons using situations and/or triggers which are determined to be relevant for that person.

  • Patent number: 10231648
    Abstract: A method and system for provoking gait disorders, such as freezing of gait; usable, for example, for diagnosing and/or treatment thereof. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, displays of situations calculated to cause freezing of gait are presented to a subject, optionally using virtual reality displays. Optionally or alternatively, incipit freezing of gait is identified using changes in gait parameters, and optionally used to guide attempts at causing freezing of gait. Optionally or alternatively, a portable device is provided which detects incipit freezing of gait and generates a corrective signal to the subject.

  • Publication number: 20170007168
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates, inter alia, to methods and systems for providing diagnosis and/or prognosis of a disease or disorder affecting movement of a subject, such as Parkinson's disease (PD), as well as determining treatment efficacy for said disorder. More particularly, the present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to diagnosis and/or prognosis of Parkinson's disease and/or monitoring of the disease state and/or determining or assessing treatment efficacy, using values extrapolated and/or calculated from continuous signals received by at least one Body Fixed Sensor (BFS).

  • Patent number: 9403056
    Abstract: A rehabilitation system that combines robotics and interactive gaming to facilitate performance of task-specific, repetitive, upper extremity/hand motor tasks, to enable individuals undergoing rehabilitation to improve the performance of coordinated movements of the forearm and hand is disclosed. More specifically, the rehabilitation system includes a two degree-of-freedom (DOF) robotic, upper limb rehabilitation system and interactive gaming hardware that is coupled to a computer, to provide a virtual reality-like environment.
