    Abstract: Device for training people to a preferred posture during normal gait comprising of: at least a base for stabilizing at least one rail or post coupled to said base at least one gait regulating component, which will be arranged perpendicularly with respect to said rod or post and parallel to the floor surface, with said gait regulating component provided for defining an obstacle during the normal gait of a user to impose on the latter a predetermined movement of the foot, knee, and hip, facilitating the maintenance of the user's bust erected in a position of equilibrium, with the consequent lengthening of the pushing leg, the gradual transition of the weight of the user's body by the supporting foot posterior to that of the advancing leg, and the oscillation of the arm forward opposite to the lower limb that moves, with a final effect of a steady pace.

    Abstract: The invention relates to human limb and joint movement pattern detection and analysis and is directed to warning systems for repetitive motion injuries and methods for warning a subject of movements at increased risk for repetitive use injuries, for example, using the warning systems. The invention tracks limb and joint movement of a subject during repetitive motion activities and can signal the subject to perform ergonomically safe movements.

    Abstract: A device for providing cutaneous sensations to a fingertip includes a lower base, an upper platform positioned over and mechanically connected to the lower base, and a shear plate positioned between the lower base and the upper platform and mechanically connected to the lower base. When a fingertip is positioned between the upper platform and the lower base, the upper platform is selectively vertically translatable relative to the lower base to provide a compressive force, and the shear plate is selectively laterally translatable relative to the lower base to provide a shear force. Accordingly, a wearable fingertip device having two degrees-of-freedom (DoF) to provide consecutive and/or concurrent compressive force and/or shear force to a fingertip is provided. The wearable fingertip device can be used in various scenarios; is portable, easily wearable, and easily manufacturable; and has low overall operating power requirements.

    Abstract: Guidewires useful for cooperating with catheters may be actively steered and/or provide adjustable stiffness. Angle or curvature of a guidewire, and/or flexural modulus of a guidewire, may be adjusted at one or more locations between ends thereof. Variable stiffness segments may include electrically operated compressible and/or extensible materials. Multiple tensile elements may terminate at different body elements to adjust angle or curvature at multiple locations. Multiple circumferentially and/or radially contractible fiber regions may be provided and distributed over a length of a guidewire. Adjustable flexure elements arranged in or along a guidewire may be electrically operated. A flexible core member may be centrally arranged in a tubular body. A flexible guide wire or track may cooperate with electrically operable motor units.
