  • Patent number: 10736544
    Abstract: A rehabilitation system includes a portable patient workstation configured to facilitate in-home rehabilitation therapy. In some embodiments, the workstation includes a computing device and one or more rehabilitation devices. The computing device is configured to generate computer-based tasks associated with one or more in-home exercises. The rehabilitation devices, communicatively coupled to the computing device, includes a sensor that captures movement data for use in evaluating a patient's motor skills when instructed to perform one or more of the tasks.

  • Patent number: 10475352
    Abstract: A rehabilitation system includes a portable patient workstation configured to facilitate in-home rehabilitation therapy. In some embodiments, the workstation includes a computer configured to host computer-based activities that provide rehabilitative exercise to a patient when the patient participates in the activities, a monitor electrically connected to the computer and configured to display screens of the computer-based activities, a table upon which the monitor can be supported, a tabletop console supported on the table, the console including multiple integral user interface devices that are connected to the computer and adapted to receive patient inputs while the patient is participating in the activities, and a network interface device with which data can be transmitted and received by the patient workstation via a network.

  • Patent number: 5885231
    Abstract: The invention features apparatus and methods for measuring motor events of a subject, e.g., a human subject, where the motor events have a force component or both a frequency and force component. The apparatus include a transducer, adapted to generate an analog signal corresponding to frequency and/or force of the subject's motor event, e.g., a repetitive motion; an amplifier, which amplifies the analog signal; an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, which converts the analog signal into a digital signal; and a computer. The computer is programmed to receive the digital signal as input, store the digital signal for subsequent retrieval, retrieve the stored digital signal for processing, and process the stored digital signal. The processing includes the measurement of mean force amongst the set of individual motor events over time and measurement of the mean frequency of the set of individual motor events over time.
