  • Gait rehabilitation systems, methods, and apparatuses thereof
    Patent number: 10456318
    Abstract: Gait rehabilitation systems, methods, and apparatuses thereof are disclosed. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a gait rehabilitation system may include a harness configured for attachment to an individual and at least one sensor configured to sense at least one parameter associated with gait of an individual, the individual having an affected leg and an unaffected leg. The system includes a braking system configured for attachment to the harness and in communication with the at least one sensor. The braking system is further configured for monitoring the at least one sensor to sense the at least one parameter associated with an individual's gait, determining when the affected leg is in a modification portion of the individual's gait from the sensed at least one parameter, and applying a braking force resisting movement of the harness during the determined modification portion.
