Patent number: 11904101Abstract: Methods and systems for pre-action training are described. In an aspect, a method is presented for constructing a user-controllable image comprising obtain anatomical and physiological data associated with a body, storing the anatomical and physiological data in a database; and creating the user-controllable image based on the stored anatomical and physiological data. At least a moveable portion of the user-controllable image may be constructed to move based on input from a user. Victims of stroke, TBI, or other neurological setbacks may pre-train their nervous system for use of one or more injured body parts. The methods and systems described provide pre-action training control of non-virtual prostheses, exoskeleton body parts, powered orthotic devices, robots or other motile or audiovisual output devices used to improve therapy, rehabilitation, and in some circumstances to lessen or prevent blood clots. Therapy may be remotely delivered.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2019Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Inventors: Vincent John Macri, Vincent James Macri, Paul Zilber

Patent number: 11682480Abstract: A system for improving physical motor control of affected human extremities and related cognitive and nervous system processes improvement includes a computer device having a display device and an input device each disposed in communication with the computer device. The computer device is configured to display to a user at least one virtual body part that represents a corresponding body part portion of the user requiring improvement. The virtual body part(s) is shown in a first configuration on the display device. The computer device receives user input that causes the virtual body part(s) to move in a user-directed motion. The computer device displays the user-directed motion of the virtual body part to a second configuration based on the user input. The user repeats the user input to cause improvement of physical motor control of the corresponding body part of the user.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2021Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Inventors: Vincent J. Macri, Vincent James Macri, Paul Zilber
