  • Publication number: 20260245444
    Abstract: An aspect of the invention provides a method for predicting a defined motor state from augmented reality headset data for automatic cue activation, the method comprising: receiving from at least one sensor of an augmented reality device: i) motion data corresponding to motion of a user; and ii) environmental data relating to the user's location; determining one or more parameters from the motion data and environmental data; assigning an output value to a function of the one or more parameters of the motion data and environmental data; comparing the output value to a trained data model; based on the comparison, determining a likelihood of freezing of gait; and automatically activating one or more types of cues on or via the augmented reality device upon determining that the likelihood of freezing of gait occurring is greater than a customizable threshold.

  • Patent number: 9084712
    Abstract: A walking-trainer device for persons with a walking disorder to relearn walking has a movable tread surface and a display unit for displaying target indications of the corresponding and consecutive foot positions for movements made by a person walking on the tread surface. The target indications have the form of a number of consecutive patterns located above a target surface at the height of and in the longitudinal direction of the tread surface moving in the direction of the person, which visibly move from a distance of between 0.5 m and 0.5 m, preferably between 15 m and 5 m and more preferably between 0.7 m and 2.5 m, from the target surface in the direction of and over the tread surface up to the feet of the person. The speed of movement of the patterns is substantially equal to the speed of movement of the tread surface.
