Abstract: The left-handed knives system comprises a collection of left-handed knives providing a set of cutlery tools for left-handed people. The left-handed cutlery set may generally comprise a plurality of individual left-handed knives which may be used for various purposes and tasks within the field of food preparation and dining. A left-handed knife may comprise a dishwasher-safe handle and stainless steel blade. The knife handle may be ergonomically designed to provide a left-handed contour profile thereby providing a comfortable and natural grip for a left-handed user. Further, the blade may comprise a sloped concave profile from left to right, thereby providing a balanced cutting action for the left-handed user during an in-use condition. Left-handed knives system may further comprise a carrying case for storing, displaying and/or transporting the left-handed cutlery set.

Abstract: A system and method for determining back muscle dysfunction comprises data collection and data analysis elements. The system collects electrical muscle activity measurements by applying a plurality of electrodes in a pattern across a patient's or test subject's back, measuring the electrical activity at each of the electrodes and storing the measurements. One or more normative or examined patient databases comprising measurements and results from a number of individuals are used for comparison against the patient's measurements. A patient's back muscle activity is characterized by collecting electrical muscle activity measurements for the patient and comparing an analysis of the patient's electrical muscle activity to the results of the normative or previously examined group.

Abstract: A robotic exoskeleton and a control system for driving the robotic exoskeleton, including a method for making and using the robotic exoskeleton and its control system. The robotic exoskeleton has sensors embedded in it which provide feedback to the control system. Feedback is used from the motion of the legs themselves, as they deviate from a normal gait, to provide corrective pressure and guidance. The position versus time is sensed and compared to a normal gait profile. Various normal profiles are obtained based on studies of the population for age, weight, height and other variables.
