Abstract: Wearable sensors and uses thereof are disclosed. Preferred sensors include surface EMG electrodes for measuring electrical muscle activity, by which muscle contraction is measured. Such muscle contraction can be used to determine a person's posture, especially when the contraction being measured is that of core muscles. An alert preferably is provided to a person in real time when an incorrect posture is detected. By providing such biofeedback, a person is trained in maintaining a good posture. Such posture training is believed to heal alleviate or even present lower back pain. Wearable sensors of the invention also can be used to measure contraction in muscles during exercise, including running and strength training, to gain information for use in improving such activities.

Abstract: In systems and methods for dynamically generating reference limits for use in a neuromonitoring system, a first set of neuromonitoring data from separate patient tests conducted by the neuromonitoring system is received. Each of the separate patient tests is associated with variables. Each of the variables is associated with a corresponding one of the first neuromonitoring data as metadata. The first set of neuromonitoring data is compiled with associated metadata into one or more reference limits. When neuromonitoring data is received from a second patient test, at least one analysis is applied to the second patient test using the one or more reference limits.

Abstract: The utilization of sensors towards the study of internal and external work at the distal lower extremity during movement is presented. Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) and Electromyography (EMG) sensors are paired together to calculate the neuromuscular effort and torque at the ankle and are compared with plantar pressure and torque measurements using the pressure mat. Subsequently image tracking data is also to inform machine learning models that predict real-world distance movement from video recorded movement. Finally, a mobile application is developed allowing users to see a simulation of their movements, among other information.

Abstract: A device for functional electrical stimulation (FES), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), and/or in receiving electromyography (EMG) signals includes a sleeve and electrodes. The sleeve is sized and shaped to be worn on a human arm, and comprises a stretchable fabric The electrodes are secured with the sleeve and positioned to contact skin of the human arm when the sleeve is worn on the human arm. An electronic circuit is configured to operate the electrodes. The electronic circuit includes relays connecting the electrodes with a stimulator for performing FES or NMES, and EMG readout circuitry connecting the electrodes with an EMG amplifier. The relays are closed during FES or NMES to connect the stimulator with the electrodes. The relays are open during EMG readout to isolate the stimulator from the EMG amplifier.
