Abstract: A surgical light for illuminating a target with light that has a reduced contribution of a portion of the visible spectrum includes a first light source configured to emit light having a first spectrum; a second light source configured to emit light having a second spectrum that does not include the portion of the visible spectrum; and a controller configured to simultaneously activate the first and second light sources for illuminating the target with light that has a reduced contribution of light in the portion of the visible spectrum relative to white light.

Abstract: An arrangement for transferring a post assembly carrying medical equipment thereon between first and second support structures. The arrangement includes a positioning arm which is supported at one end on the first support structure and at the opposite end is configured for supporting the post assembly. The positioning arm cooperates with a receiver assembly provided on the second support structure. A freestanding cart and wheelchair are also provided which are configured to accept the post assembly from a support structure such as a patient bed, to allow the patient to ambulate with the associated medical equipment.

Abstract: A robotic system and method for locomotion assessment and training of a mammal, exemplified by a rodent. A neurologically impaired animal is suspended over a moving surface in a harness, and the animal's hindlimbs are connected to robotic arms that apply force to the hindlimbs or measure limb movement characteristics. The moving surface can be a physical or virtual surface. A single robotic mechanism comprising two robotic arms can simultaneously apply force, measure limb movement, and provide a virtual surface. Manual or automatic adjustment of load support allows the mammal to step at varying body weight loads.
