Publication number: 20210077289Abstract: In an embodiment, an orthopedic device in the form of a lumbar support includes first and second elongate belt members, an anatomically shaped plate, and a closure system connecting the belt members to the plate. The closure system is arranged to move the belt members relative to the plate, and connects to the belt members via a flexible belt attachment which removably secures to the belt members. The closure system includes tensioning elements corresponding to the belt members, and a pulley system connecting to the tensioning elements. The closure system is slidably mounted to the plate and arranged to the belt members relative to the plate between opposed linear directions. The plate has various contours which provide pressure distribution over a lumbar region of a back. Anatomically shaped and resiliently formed handles secure to the tensioning elements and the belt members.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2020Publication date: March 18, 2021Inventors: Arni Thor INGIMUNDARSON, Brice ROBERTSON

Patent number: 10426688Abstract: An exoskeleton trajectory sequence is received with at least one server, and the sequence is transferred to a first device where the sequence is validated. The validation includes a safety check in which a determination is made as to whether the sequence is safe for use with an exoskeleton. The validated sequence, or a confirmation that the sequence is valid, is received from the first device, and the validated sequence is offered for sale, license or lease. In one embodiment, a request for the sequence to be transferred is received from a first exoskeleton user. The sequence is validated and transferred to a second exoskeleton user. In another embodiment, a request for the sequence to be edited is received from an exoskeleton user. The sequence is edited, validated and transferred to the exoskeleton user.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2015Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: Ekso Bionics, Inc.Inventors: Brice Robertson, Matthew D. Sweeney
