Abstract:
A method of rehabilitation using an actuator type that includes a movement mechanism capable of applying a force that interacts with a motion of a patient's limb in a volume of at least 30 cm in diameter, in at least three degrees of freedom of motion of the actuator and capable of preventing substantial motion in any point in any direction in said volume, in which a same movement mechanism is used at two different places of rehabilitation.
Abstract:
A method of measuring a user's range of motion, comprising: tracking user movement of at least one body portion using at least one sensor; correlating the tracked user movement to an avatar of the user in a virtual environment using at least one controller; displaying on an output device the summation of tracked user movement graphically in the virtual environment such that user movement with respect to the user is represented in the virtual environment as avatar movement with respect to the avatar, in the same relative relationship.
