Patent number: 11555750Abstract: A force transducer is disclosed, which is arranged in such a way that, when a force is applied to the force transducer, two output signals from the force transducer are generated, which output signals are representative of the force components in a first plane and in a second plane perpendicular to the first plane, respectively, whereas force components in a third plane perpendicular to the first plane and the second plane do not affect the output signals from the force transducer. Furthermore, a measuring device is disclosed, comprising a handle comprising such a force transducer and a base unit, to which the handle is attached. Even further, a system for measuring muscle stiffness is disclosed, comprising a measuring unit and a processing unit, the measuring unit comprising such a measuring device.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2019Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignees: Københavns Universitet, Movotec A/SInventors: Johnny Erik Westergaard, Peder Esben Bilde, Jens Bo Nielsen

Patent number: 10575772Abstract: A system, an apparatus, and a method for measuring muscle stiffness in a predetermined joint of an individual are provided. The system and apparatus comprises a measuring unit and a processing unit. The measuring unit is configured to be applied to a body segment of the predetermined joint. The processing unit is configured to: receive a plurality of data sets from the at least one measurement device, analyze the plurality of data sets for one or more indications of an elicited stretch reflex, and calculate a muscle stiffness score. The muscle stiffness score is based on at least a difference between a first stiffness and a second stiffness. The first stiffness is determined from the first subset, and the second stiffness is determined from the second subset.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2015Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignees: Movotec A/S, Københavns UniversitetInventors: Jens Bo Nielsen, Johnny Erik Westergaard, Peder Esben Bilde

Publication number: 20100082391Abstract: Appointment information for a user may be entered at a computer. A first signal may be sent from the computer, via a network, to a server remote from the computer, the content of the first signal including for example data related to the appointment information. Sending the first signal may be triggered by completion of the entering appointment information for the user. The content of the first signal may be processed at the server according to the appointment information, and a message may be sent from the server to the user relating to the appointment. A response to the message may be received from the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2008Publication date: April 1, 2010Inventors: Ebbe Bruun SOERENSEN, Bo Nielsen
