20150142129 | Adaptive Stimulation Apparatus and Technique - In that stimulating muscle within a socket may create additional pressure within the socket that is disrelated to external forces operative on the socket, corruption of pressure measurements within the socket may occur from stimulation, even though negative pressure differential on the side opposing, or furthest from the stimulation area, is explicitly used so as to avoid this corruption. An embodiment of the invention provides removal from the total pressure measurement that portion which is known to be resultant of muscle contraction. This stabilizes overall system control through improving input signal quality. Other embodiments are described herein. | 05-21-2015 |
20140148873 | JOINT REHABILITATION APPARATUS AND TECHNIQUE - An embodiment includes simultaneously supplying direct current (DC) energy to recondition cartilage of a knee joint while simultaneously protecting that cartilage by supplying alternating current (AC) energy to stimulate muscle tissue contralateral to the cartilage to at least partially decompress the cartilage and at least partially support the joint. Other embodiments are described herein. | 05-29-2014 |
20130246036 | ORTHOTIC SUPPORT AND STIMULUS SYSTEMS AND METHODS - An embodiment of the invention includes (a) modeling a first internal force applied to a model of a user's joint based on a first external force externally applied to the joint at a first position; (b) modeling a second internal force applied to the model based on a second external force externally applied to the joint at a second position unequal to the first position; (c) comparing the first and second modeled internal forces; and (d) simulating the user based on the comparison. Other embodiments are described herein. | 09-19-2013 |
