Abstract: The present invention describes a Smart Gait Rehabilitation System (SGRS). The present invention is capable of performing a quantitative analysis of human movements based on the simultaneous measurement of within-subject stride-to-stride changes in gait using accelerometers, gyroscopes, goniometers, and electromyography (EMG). The system described in the present invention is based on step-training that incorporates sensory feedback, provide feedback about kinematics and torques, and proceeds at walking speeds typical of overground ambulation.

Abstract: A sexual stimulation device includes an elongated dildo housing sized to be received within an orifice of a human body, the housing defining an internal cavity extending along a longitudinal axis of the housing, a mass laterally constrained within the cavity and movable linearly along the cavity, and an electrically driven actuator disposed within the housing and operably coupled to the mass. The actuator is operable to accelerate the mass along the cavity and to thereby induce a longitudinal reactive acceleration of the housing.

Abstract: A method for controlling movement using an active powered device including an actuator, joint position sensor, muscle stress sensor, and control system. The device provides primarily muscle support although it is capable of additionally providing joint support (hence the name “active muscle assistance device”). The device is designed for operation in several modes to provide either assistance or resistance to a muscle for the purpose of enhancing mobility, preventing injury, or building muscle strength. The device is designed to operate autonomously or coupled with other like device(s) to provide simultaneous assistance or resistance to multiple muscles.
