  • Patent number: 11324956
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for providing neuromodulation are provided. One such system can include an implantable pulse generator. The implantable pulse generator can include a circuit board having a microcontroller that generates signals that are input into an ASIC. The ASIC serves as pulse generator that allows electrical pulses to be outputted into leads. The implantable pulse generator is capable of receiving and/or generating signals either via a wireless communication (e.g., a wireless remote control), a touching force (e.g., pressure from a finger), a motion sensor or any combination of the above.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10034783
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an adjustable prosthetic ankle separate from a prosthetic foot includes an upper coupling member, a lower coupling member that couples with the upper coupling member, and a flexion angle adjustment mechanism associated with the coupling members that enables a user to change a relative angle between the coupling members, and therefore a flexion angle of the prosthetic ankle, without using any tools.

  • Patent number: 7614673
    Abstract: A prosthetic finger includes a crossed four (4) bar linkage system having a base formed by a base bar, two cross bars, and an interface bar that engages an object to be held. The base bar is fixed to an artificial finger of an amputee. A first cross bar has a first end pivotally mounted to a first end of the base bar and a second cross bar has a first end pivotally mounted to a second end of the base bar. The first cross bar has a second end pivotally mounted to a first end of the interface bar and the second cross bar has a second end pivotally mounted to a second end of the interface bar. The first and second cross bars are slideably interconnected to one another at a cross point which changes its location as the prosthesis grasps objects of differing sizes and shapes.
