Abstract: A system, apparatus and method are thereby provided for the non-invasive motion tracking to augment patient administered physical therapy via a motion tracking apparatus, a display, and a computing platform coupled to the motion tracking apparatus and the display. The computing platform serves to provide a menu driven interface to the patient, an instruction to the patient, a determination of the patient's motion or action in response to the instruction, a comparison between the instruction to the patient and the determination of the patient's motion or action, and to provide a feedback display to the patient. In certain embodiments, the system, apparatus and methods further includes a social networking link. In yet other embodiments, a live telemedicine link is provided, and optionally triggered based upon detection of an alert or alarm condition. In yet other embodiments, rehab tools are utilized.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus are provided for generating visual instruction to a user of a system, such as for exercise instruction or rehabilitation purposes. Preferably, the system includes a user imaging system with the system generating an output adapted to couple to a display device. The systems and methods serve to guide a user body motion. In one preferred embodiment, the method includes the steps of receiving first user positional information from the user imaging system, and then generating a first mirror image of the user positional information. Additionally, the method includes generating a first instructional image having the same positional orientation as the first mirror image of the user positional information. Finally, the method and system generate a composite output display including the first mirror image of the user positional information and the first instructional image.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a process for manufacturing a filled polymeric material comprising a polymeric matrix and filler modified with functional particles in a high energy dry-blending process through collisions of sufficient energy to bound, adhere, or otherwise associate the pigment particles to the filler.

Abstract: A polymerizable adhesive composition that forms an interpenetrating network when the components are polymerized. A sirup is made with a styrenic prepolymer, (meth)acrylate monomer and multifunctional (meth)acrylate crosslinking agent. The adhesive composition afforded by this sirup is polymerized in place using a conventional free radical initiators and activators. The adhesive is found especially useful as a joint adhesive for solid surface materials.

Abstract: The invention pertains to filler modified with functional particles in a dry-blending process through collisions of sufficient energy to bound, adhere, or otherwise associate the pigment particles to the filler, and a filled polymeric material manufactured with the modified filler.
