  • Publication number: 20250235743
    Abstract: To provide a wearable apparatus designed to address improper neuromuscular activation patterns that can result in asymmetrical biomechanical balance by providing a programmed neuromuscular resistance pattern to movement while the user performs certain repositioning or retraining exercises, which results in activating and inhibiting key muscle groups on the body. The apparatus also includes a bolster pad or structure that can be permanently or temporarily attached to the upper section of the apparatus underneath the thigh, which is crucial to be able to isolate the hamstring muscle during certain repositioning exercise by pushing down on the bolster while performing the exercise. After using the apparatus during repositioning and retraining exercises, the apparatus is removed and the user is more biomechanically balanced, thus allowing for an increase in the user's speed, strength and agility, and a decrease in any joint pain, during subsequent functional and sports activities.

  • Patent number: 12117823
    Abstract: The presently disclosed systems and methods provide monitoring systems and methods for assessing risk based on individual risk control categories. In an embodiment, the risk is assessed based on data for a particular control category. A subset of the data is weighted according to a first weighting function, and a different subset of the data is weighted according to a second weighting function. The weighted data is combined to generate a control health index that may be used to assess risk.

  • Patent number: 12056420
    Abstract: A model (e.g., mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD) model) representing an assembly is displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI). The assembly contains at least a first body and a second body. The physics type of the model is determined in response to an assignment of a physics condition to the first body and/or the second body. Contact-pairs are detected in the model according to the determined physics type. The GUI is updated to indicate where the contact-pairs are located in the model for revision of the contact-pairs. Markers are shown in the GUI to represent corresponding contact-pairs. Markers are logically separated from bodies and faces in the model. The revision of the contact-pairs can be managed with a filtering mechanism either by bodies/faces or by markers.

  • Patent number: 11932875
    Abstract: A method of stimulating and controlling stem cell activity and differentiation on a modified material substrate and a device including the modified material substrate are provided. The method includes providing a material substrate configured for medical use. The material substrate includes at least one surface or interior area available for modification, and the at least one surface or interior area is treated with a plurality of pulsed light beams to obtain a modified material substrate with at least one modified surface or interior area. The at least one modified surface or interior area has a biomimetic architecture with surface and bulk (interior) features, properties, and textures configured to accelerate and control stem cell differentiation when the modified material substrate is contacted with stem cells.
