    摘要: An active orthotic device, e.g. a hand orthosis, is attached to one or more limbs of a human subject and comprises a respective set of actuators (21) for moving a respective limb (1A) among the one or more limbs. A method for controlling the orthotic device comprises obtaining one or more bioelectric signals, [S(t)], from one or more bioelectric sensors (10) attached to or implanted in the human subject; processing the one or more bioelectric signals, [5(t)j, for prediction of an intended application force, FA(t), of the respective limb (1A) onto an object; obtaining a force signal, PA(t), from a force sensing device (22) associated with the respective set of actuators (21) and/or the respective limb (1A); and generating, as a function of a momentary difference, e(t), between the intended application force, FA(t), and the force signal, PA(t), a respective set of control signals, it(t), for the respective set of actuators (21).

    摘要: In an embodiment, a wearable device for vibratory stimulation is presented. The wearable device includes a sensor configured to receive data and generate sensor output. The wearable device includes a processor in communication with the sensor and a memory communicatively connected to the processor. The memory includes instructions configuring the processor to receive the sensor output from the sensor. The processor is configured to determine a symptom of a movement disorder of a user based on the sensor output. The processor is configured to calculate a waveform output based on the symptom of the movement disorder. The processor is configured to command a transducer in communication with the processor to apply the waveform output to the user to reduce the symptom of the movement disorder.
