  • Mobile Tethered Pelvic Assist Device for Generating Timed Frontal Plane Pelvic Moments During Overground Walking
    Publication number: 20240058199
    Abstract: Rehabilitation or ambulation assistance can be provided to a user by sensing at least one first pressure beneath the user's right foot, sensing at least one second pressure beneath the user's left foot, and predicting the user's gait based on the sensed at least one first pressure and the sensed at least one second pressure. A plurality of motors are energized at a plurality of times that are synchronized with phases of the user's gait so that the plurality of motors pull on respective cables at respective times in a coordinated sequence. Each of the cables has a first end affixed to a pelvic belt or harness that is shaped and dimensioned to fit securely on the user's pelvis, and the timing of the energizing is based on the gait predictions.
