  • Internal bone lengthener device and method of use thereof
    Patent number: 9949772
    Abstract: An extramedullary bone lengthener and use thereof that is an internal device that does not require nailing. The invention includes a telescoping plate that attaches to the upper and lower portions of the bone via screws; a small motor affixed on or within the plate. This motor, controlled remotely, will controllably lengthen the plate, thus lengthening the bone. The bone will be cut (osteotomy) then the plate will be applied to both ends and fixed to each end with screws. The motor will be controlled from outside by a remote control which will allow the plate to expand causing lengthening of the attached bone.
    Type: Grant

  • SENSOR FOR RELIABLE MEASUREMENT OF JOINT ANGLES
    Publication number: 20140257142
    Abstract: A sensor apparatus, system, and computer-usable non-transitory storage device storing program instructions for the measurement of the individual joint angles in dimensional space are disclosed. The joint angle measurements are measured in electrical quantities to represent the amplitude of joint movement in respect to a neutral position. Angular rate inertial sensors are attached to the body segments of interest. The output of the inertial sensors are fed into a precision differential amplifier and integrated. Two sequential filters are used for processing the output signals. Embodiments measure three-dimensional angles in real-time.
