Patient Specific Ankle-Foot Orthotic Device

View page
US Patent:
20090306801, Dec 10, 2009
Filed:
May 27, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/472984
Inventors:
Mark L. Sivak - Boston MA, US
Richard G. Ranky - Ridgewood NJ, US
Joseph A. DiPisa - Wyckoff NJ, US
Alyssa Leigh Caddle - South Boston MA, US
Kara Lyn Gilhooly - Watertown MA, US

Assignee:
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY - Boston MA
TECHNEST HOLDINGS INC. - Bethesda MD
SPAULDING REHABILITATION HOSPITAL CORPORATION - Boston MA
International Classification:
G06F 17/50
US Classification:
700 98, 700118, 700119
Abstract:
The unique advantages of computer-controlled fabrication of a patient-specific orthotic device using an automated fabrication machine capable of following computer instructions to create 3D surface contours and new developments in non-invasive three-dimensional (3D) scanning have made it possible to acquire digital models of freeform surfaces such as the surface anatomy of the human body and to then fabricate such a patient-specific device with high precision. Such a patient-specific device brings significant improvement in patient-specific fit, comfort, and function of medical devices (and, in particular, to orthoses that require a close fit to the wearer's body to act effectively). The combination of these two technologies is ideally suited for the development of patient-specific orthotic devices.A patient specific ankle-foot orthotic device using this technology is disclosed. This exemplary device is used to help stabilize the ankle-foot region, for example, in patients with impaired gait.

US Patent:
20120109025, May 3, 2012
Filed:
Mar 22, 2010
Appl. No.:
13/257492
Inventors:
Brian Weinberg - San Diego CA, US
Paolo Bonato - Somerville MA, US
Ozer Unluhisarcikli - Allston MA, US
Mark Sivak - Boston MA, US
Constantinos Mavroidis - Arlington MA, US
Anat Mirelman - Ramat-Gan, IL
Lucas Daniel Johnson - Edmonds WA, US
Nicholas J. Pappas - Tewksbury MA, US
Kyle Thomas Hackmeister - Williamsport PA, US
Daniel T. Lau - Waban MA, US
Assignee:
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY - Boston MA
International Classification:
A61H 1/02
US Classification:
601 5
Abstract:
A rehabilitation system that combines robotics and interactive gaming to facilitate performance of task-specific, repetitive, upper extremity/hand motor tasks, to enable individuals undergoing rehabilitation to improve the performance of coordinated movements of the forearm and hand is disclosed. More specifically, the rehabilitation system includes a two degree-of-freedom (DOF) robotic, upper limb rehabilitation system and interactive gaming hardware that is coupled to a computer, to provide a virtual reality-like environment.

Lower Extremity Exoskeleton For Gait Retraining

View page
US Patent:
20130226048, Aug 29, 2013
Filed:
Sep 28, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/631322
Inventors:
Ozer Unluhisarcikli - Allston MA, US
Constantinos Mavroidis - Arlington MA, US
Paolo Bonato - Somerville MA, US
Brian Weinberg - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
A61H 1/00
US Classification:
601 34
Abstract:
The Active Knee Rehabilitation Orthotic System (ANdROS) is a wearable and portable assistive tool for gait rehabilitation and monitoring of people with motor control deficits due to a neurological ailment, such as stroke. ANdROS reinforces a desired gait pattern by continually applying a corrective torque around the knee joint, commanded by a impedance controller. A sensorized yet unactuated brace worn on the unimpaired leg is used to synchronize the playback of the desired trajectory based on the user's intent. The device is mechanically grounded through two ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) rigidly attached to the main structure, which helps reduce the weight perceived by the user.

Robotic Gait Rehabilitation Training System With Orthopedic Lower Body Exoskeleton For Torque Transfer To Control Rotation Of Pelvis During Gait

View page
US Patent:
20140213951, Jul 31, 2014
Filed:
Jun 25, 2012
Appl. No.:
14/129206
Inventors:
Constantinos Mavroidis - Arlington MA, US
Paolo Bonato - Somerville MA, US
Ozer Unluhisarcikli - Allston MA, US
Iahn Cajigas - Cambridge MA, US
Brian Weinberg - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
SPAULDING REHABILITATION HOSPITAL CORPORATION - Boston MA
NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY - Boston MA
International Classification:
A61F 5/01
US Classification:
602 23
Abstract:
A robotic gait rehabilitation (RGR) training system is provided to address secondary gait deviations such as hip-hiking. An actuation assembly follows the natural motions of a user's pelvis, while applying corrective moments to pelvic obliquity. A human-robot interface (HRI), in the form of a lower body exoskeleton, is provided to improve the transfer of corrective moments to the pelvis. The system includes an impedance control system incorporating backdrivability that is able to modulate the forces applied onto the body depending on the patient's efforts. Various protocols for use of the system are provided.

Lower Extremity Robotic Rehabilitation System

US Patent:
20140100491, Apr 10, 2014
Filed:
Oct 5, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/646368
Inventors:
Jianjuen Hu - Boxborough MA, US
Yi-Je Lim - Boxborough MA, US
Paolo Bonato - Somerville MA, US
Jienan Ding - Watertown MA, US
International Classification:
A61H 3/00
A61H 1/00
US Classification:
601 27, 601 35, 601 23
Abstract:
To achieve “ecological” robotic rehabilitation therapy, the present invention provides the system capacity of training of patients in different ambulatory tasks utilizing motorized footplates that guide the lower limbs according to human gait trajectories generated for different ambulatory tasks of interest. A lower extremity robotic rehabilitation system comprises an active pelvic/hip device which applies series elastic actuation to achieve an intrinsically safe and desirable impedance control. A robotic unit features the telepresence operation control that allows a patient stay at home or nursing home to continue his or her rehabilitation training under a physician's remote supervision and monitoring. The robot unit utilizes an affective patient-robot interface to capture emotional information of the patient, to allow for real-time adaptation of the robotic system and adjustments of treatment protocol, and to enhance the quality and effectiveness of rehabilitation
