Lower-Limb Prosthesis Force And Moment Transducer

View page
US Patent:
7886618, Feb 15, 2011
Filed:
Sep 11, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/853707
Inventors:
Ben Gilbert Macomber - Shoreline WA, US
David Alan Boone - Seattle WA, US
James Christian Beck - Missoula MT, US
Assignee:
OrthoCare Innovations LLC - Mountlake Terrace WA
International Classification:
G01D 7/00
US Classification:
73862044, 73862041
Abstract:
A computerized prosthesis alignment system includes a transducer that can measure socket reactions in the anterior/posterior plane and the right/left planes, while canceling or reducing the transverse forces on the measurements of these socket reactions. In addition, the transducer is also capable of determining the axial load or weight experienced by the prosthesis. The computerized prosthesis alignment system is in communication with a host computer. The moment data from the transducer is interpreted by the user via a computer interface. The host computer includes memory for storing one or more applications. These applications receive data from the transducer, interpret the data with discrete algebraic or fuzzy logic algorithms, and display the output numerically and graphically. Applications may also interpret the data to provide analyses to the user for aligning the prosthesis.

Robotic Prosthesis Alignment Device And Alignment Surrogate Device

View page
US Patent:
8409297, Apr 2, 2013
Filed:
Jul 13, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/502162
Inventors:
David Alan Boone - Seattle WA, US
Ben Gilbert Macomber - Shoreline WA, US
Assignee:
Orthocare Innovations LLC - Oklahoma City OK
International Classification:
A61F 2/48
A61F 2/80
US Classification:
623 24, 623 38
Abstract:
A robotic prosthesis alignment device is disclosed that may automatically move the alignment of a prosthesis socket in relation to a prosthesis shank. The robotic prosthesis alignment device provides automatic translation in two axes. The robotic prosthesis alignment device includes angulation mechanics that automatically provide for plantarflexion, dorsiflexion, inversion, and eversion of the foot and shank with respect to the prosthesis socket. A surrogate device is also disclosed that can replicate the alignment achieved with the robotic prosthesis alignment device.

Self-Aligning Prosthesis With Hydraulic Actuators

View page
US Patent:
8449623, May 28, 2013
Filed:
Sep 20, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/886380
Inventors:
David Alan Boone - Seattle WA, US
Ben Gilbert Macomber - Shoreline WA, US
Lonnie Love - Oak Ridge TN, US
Assignee:
Orthocare Innovations LLC - Oklahoma City OK
UT-Battelle, LLC - Oak Ridge TN
International Classification:
A61F 2/60
A61F 2/74
US Classification:
623 26, 623 27
Abstract:
A hydraulic device includes a first plate that pivots in a first direction, a second plate that pivots in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, a first hydraulic system comprising a first cylinder and piston, a second cylinder and piston and, channels connecting the first cylinder to the second cylinder, the first hydraulic system filled with hydraulic fluid, wherein the transfer of fluid between the first cylinder and second cylinder pivots the first plate, and a second hydraulic system comprising a third cylinder and piston, a fourth cylinder and piston and, channels connecting the third cylinder to the fourth cylinder, the second hydraulic system filled with hydraulic fluid, wherein the transfer of fluid between the third cylinder and fourth cylinder pivots the second plate.

US Patent:
20130173022, Jul 4, 2013
Filed:
Jul 2, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/540388
Inventors:
Adam Arabian - Silverdale WA, US
David Alan Boone - Seattle WA, US
Ben Gilbert Macomber - Shoreline WA, US
Tyler Butel - Edmond OK, US
Robert Dustin Lane - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
ORTHOCARE INNOVATIONS LLC - Oklahoma City OK
International Classification:
A61F 2/66
US Classification:
623 49
Abstract:
A prosthetic foot assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes a pivoting ankle joint with a hydraulic system, a prosthetic foot connected to the distal side of the ankle joint, and, at the proximal side, the ankle joint includes a transducer with pyramid adaptor for attaching to a pylon. The ankle joint sensor provides data collection during the stance and optionally, the swing, phases of walking using, for example, strain gages and accelerometers. Also disclosed are methods for real-time feature extraction. Key parameters are captured to which are applied linear, fuzzy logic, neural net, or generic algorithms to determine current state (walking flat, uphill, downhill etc.) in real time and execute changes to the angle between the ankle and foot almost instantaneously based on those parameters.
