Abstract: A soft wearable medical device may comprise a force actuation system at least partially disposed in a glove assembly. The force actuation system may be a passive or active actuation system. The force actuation system may be configured to adjust a grip of a patient during use of the soft wearable medical device. The soft wearable medical device may further comprise a force indication system including a plurality of force sensors and a light array, each force sensor disposed in a finger of the glove assembly and the light array mounted to the glove assembly.

Abstract: An orthosis for increasing a range of motion of an ankle is disclosed. In various embodiments, the orthosis includes a frame including a ball shell and a heel shell; a first actuator disposed on the ball shell and configured to apply a first force against a ball region of a foot, resulting in a moment being applied at the ankle; and a first rod connecting the heel shell and the ball shell, the first rod being slidably connected to at least one of the heel shell or the ball shell. In various embodiments, a second actuator is disposed on the heel shell and configured to apply a second force against a heel region of the foot. In various embodiments, a calf shell is configured to support a calf region of a leg that is connected to the ankle.

Abstract: A soft-inflatable exosuit for knee rehabilitation is fabricated in two different beam-like structures (I and O cross-section actuators) and mechanically characterized for their torque performance in knee-extension assistance. The fabrication procedure of both types of actuators is presented as well as their integration into a light-weight, low-cost and body-conforming interface. To detect the activation duration of the device during the gait cycle, a soft-silicone insole with embedded force-sensitive resistors (FSRs) is used. In evaluation studies, the soft inflatable exosuit device is tested for its ability to reduce muscle activity during the swing phase of the knee. Using sEMG (surface electromyography) sensors, the rectus femoris muscle group of a healthy individual is recorded while walking on a treadmill at a constant speed, with and without the soft device.

IPC: A61H9/00
Abstract: A soft wearable medical device may comprise a soft compliant pumpactuator or actuators at least partially disposed in a glove assembly. Responsive to a detection of a tremor, such as an ataxia tremor, an actuator at least partially inflates to provide a stabilizing counterforce and reduce or eliminate the tremor.
