Converting Rotational Motion Into Radial Motion
US Patent:
2007013, Jun 21, 2007
Filed:
Oct 5, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/539091
Inventors:
Hermano Krebs - Cambridge MA, US
Lorenzo Masia - Rome, IT
Lorenzo Masia - Rome, IT
Assignee:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
F16H 37/16
US Classification:
310112000, 07402200R
Abstract:
An apparatus for converting rotational motion into radial motion may include a motor, and arm assembly, and, optionally, a panel. The motor may include two coaxial rotors and a motion generator coupled to the rotors. The arm assembly may include first and second arm attached at their proximal ends to the first and second rotors, respectively. The optional panel may be attached to the distal ends of the arms. The distal ends of the arms may be spatially fixed with respect to one another but rotatable with respect to one another, so that counter-rotation of the rotors can cause both distal ends and the panel, if present, to move radially away from the rotors' axis.
Testing Therapy Efficacy With Extremity And/Or Joint Attachments
US Patent:
2006028, Dec 21, 2006
Filed:
Jun 16, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/154197

International Classification:
A61B 5/117
US Classification:
600595000, 600587000
Abstract:
A method of measuring a change in neurological and/or muscular performance of a subject may include attaching an attachment to a subject. The subject may then be directed to perform a motion. A first force imposed by the subject on the attachment and/or a first motion of the attachment is sensed. The subject's first response may then be compared to a second response to determine a change in the subject's neurological and/or muscular performance.
Wrist And Upper Extremity Motion
US Patent:
7618381, Nov 17, 2009
Filed:
Oct 27, 2004

Assignee:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
A61H 1/00
US Classification:
601 5, 602 16
Abstract:
Wrist and upper extremity motion systems and method may include positioning a subject's wrist or upper extremity in a motion device, and actuating one or more motors associated with the device to provide at least one of assistance, perturbation, and resistance to a wrist or upper extremity motion.
Pelvis Interface
US Patent:
8608674, Dec 17, 2013
Filed:
Jul 7, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/498792
Inventors:
Hermano I. Krebs - Cambridge MA, US
Neville Hogan - Sudbury MA, US
Michael Roberts - Cambridge MA, US
Neville Hogan - Sudbury MA, US
Michael Roberts - Cambridge MA, US
Assignee:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
A61H 1/00
US Classification:
601 5, 601 24
Abstract:
A pelvis interface may include a subject attachment module including a waist attachment and a back attachment. The interface may further include an arm assembly coupled to the subject attachment module, the arm assembly including a plurality of arms so coupled to one another and/or to the subject attachment module as to permit the subject attachment module at least one pelvis translation degree of freedom and at least one pelvis rotation degree of freedom. The interface may further include motors so coupled to the arm assembly as to actuate at least one pelvis translation degree of freedom and at least one pelvis rotation degree of freedom.

International Classification:
A61F 5/00
US Classification:
602028000
Abstract:
An ankle interface may include a leg connection attachable to a user's leg, a foot connection attached to the user's corresponding foot, and a transmission system coupling the leg connection and the foot connection with at least two degrees of freedom and actuating at least two degrees of freedom.
