  • Patent number: 12673207
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a movement recovery system, and a method of improving the functional motor recovery of a subject with a movement disorder. The present invention provides for a system and method, which in some embodiments can accurately quantify therapy parameters including compliance, task time spent, muscle coordination and functional improvement by utilizing kinetic, gyroscopic or other movement related information, and/or electromyography (EMG) data. In other embodiments, the system and method provide for functional electrical stimulation (FES) to help control the exercise therapy. The present invention further includes the methods of controlling or utilizing the movement related information, EMG and/or FES to detect, monitor, and control the exercise therapy.

  • Patent number: 10786200
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a movement disorder monitor, and a method of measuring the severity of a subject's movement disorder. The present invention additionally relates to a drug delivery system for dosing a subject in response to the increased severity of a subject's symptoms. The present invention provides for a system and method, which can accurately quantify symptoms of movements disorders, accurately quantifies symptoms utilizing both kinetic information and electromyography (EMG) data, that can be worn continuously to provide continuous information to be analyzed as needed by the clinician, that can provide analysis in real-time, that allows for home monitoring of symptoms in subject's with these movement disorders to capture the complex fluctuation patterns of the disease over the course of days, weeks or months, that maximizes subject safety, and that provides remote access to the clinician or physician.
