  • 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.

  • SMART GAIT REHABILITATION SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATED DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY OF NEUROLOGIC IMPAIRMENT
    Publication number: 20140100494
    Abstract: The present invention describes a Smart Gait Rehabilitation System (SGRS). The present invention is capable of performing a quantitative analysis of human movements based on the simultaneous measurement of within-subject stride-to-stride changes in gait using accelerometers, gyroscopes, goniometers, and electromyography (EMG). The system described in the present invention is based on step-training that incorporates sensory feedback, provide feedback about kinematics and torques, and proceeds at walking speeds typical of overground ambulation.
