Device For Conditioning Balance And Motor Co-Ordination

View page
US Patent:
20070249466, Oct 25, 2007
Filed:
Jun 14, 2004
Appl. No.:
11/570290
Inventors:
Lorenzo Chiari - Bologna, IT
Fay Horak - Portland OR, US
Angelo Cappello - Bologna, IT
Marco Dozza - Bologna, IT
Assignee:
UNIVERSITA' DEGLI STUDI DI BOLOGNA - Bologna
OREGON HEALTH AND SCIENCE UNIVERSITY - Portland OR
International Classification:
A61B 5/11
US Classification:
482001000
Abstract:
A device for conditioning the balance and motor co-ordination of a user () comprises a system () for acquisition of information relative to the kinematics of at least one part () of the body of the user (), a processing interface () connected to the acquisition system () to encode the information in a signal, a pair of earphones () operating between the processing interface () and the user (), to feed the user the signal suitably defined by a stereophonic sound which can be transmitted in an audio channel.

System For Clinical Assessment Of Movement Disorders

View page
US Patent:
20110092860, Apr 21, 2011
Filed:
Jul 23, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/842843
Inventors:
Arash Salarian - Zurich, CH
Fay Horak - Portland OR, US
Kamiar Aminian - La Tour-de-Peilz, CH
Assignee:
Oregon Health & Science University - Portland OR
International Classification:
A61B 5/11
US Classification:
600595
Abstract:
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the system for clinical assessment of movement disorders (iTUG) is comprised of a) a protocol to assess gait, balance, and mobility; b) a plurality of wearable sensors including accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, optical sensors, and goniometers to record kinematics data obtained from a patient during said protocol; c) means for wirelessly transmitting said kinematics data to a storage and data processing server; and d) a plurality of statistical and biomedical signal processing methods to analyze said kinematic data and derive a plurality of metrics (outcomes) to objectively quantify movement disorders. A specially important outcome for the assessment of movement disorders is described, namely, the quantification of the onset and offset parameters during turning. A method for quantification of said onset and offset turning parameters involves 1) collecting data to measure the angle of the trunk during turning, 2) modeling said angle using a mathematical model, and 3) using numerical optimization and estimation methods for fitting the model in the data to determine said onset and offset turning parameters.

US Patent:
20110213278, Sep 1, 2011
Filed:
Feb 28, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/037305
Inventors:
Fay Horak - Portland OR, US
Pedro Mateo Riobo Aboy - Portland OR, US
James McNames - Portland OR, US
Andrew Greenberg - Portland OR, US
Sean Pearson - Beaverton OR, US
Gavin Gallino - Beaverton OR, US
Timothy Brandon - Beaverton OR, US
Lars Holmstrom - Portland OR, US
Assignee:
APDM, INC. - Portland OR
International Classification:
A61B 5/11
US Classification:
600595
Abstract:
Disclosed embodiments include a movement monitoring system and apparatus for objective assessment of movement disorders of a subject, comprising (a) one or more movement monitors, and (b) a computer-implemented analysis system comprising one or more protocols and associated data analysis methods to objectively quantify movement disorders based on movement data acquired by the movement monitors. According to one embodiment, the movement monitors are robust wireless synchronized movement monitors and the protocols include one or more tests for assessment of neural control of balance.
