  • Body-loading suit for therapeutic uses
    Patent number: 9737097
    Abstract: An elastic skin suit simulates gravitational loading. By selecting material(s) of appropriate dimensions and appropriate moduli of elasticity, and optionally integrating inelastic portions to maintain a desired surface distribution, the suit can be adapted to impose a loading regime that simulates the loading of terrestrial gravity in a more continuous, shoulder-to-ankle manner than current loading suits.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 7, 2014
    Date of Patent: August 22, 2017
    Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Inventors: James Murray Andrew Waldie, Dava Jean Newman
