  • SHOULDER REHABILITATION DEVICE AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20220354726
    Abstract: A shoulder rehabilitation device includes an elongated structure and a force generator. The elongated structure is configured to support an arm of a patient, the patient being in a lying position. The force generator is mounted to the elongated structure and configured to apply a traction force on the arm in a distal direction relative to the arm. The elongated structure is rotatable about a pivot adjacent a shoulder joint of said arm. The force generator is further configured to control the traction force to be within a predetermined range.

  • Apparatus and method for tracking a device
    Patent number: 10405775
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for tracking a device comprising a magnet as the device is inserted through a subject. The apparatus is wearable by the subject and comprises a unit configured to conform to the subject. The apparatus further comprises magnetic sensors arranged with the unit. In use, the magnetic sensors detect magnetic fields of the magnet and the detected magnetic fields are processed to determine a position of the magnet. This allows tracking of the device as the device is inserted through the subject.
