Embodiments of a balance device can include one, two or three of a medial-lateral curved track assembly, an anterior-posterior curved track assembly and a linear slide assembly. The balance device can be employed as part of a system further including, a camera-based motion tracking system communicably coupled to the balance device and a visual subsystem communicably coupled to the motion tracking system and operable to manipulate visual feedback to the user during operation of the balance device. Embodiments of a method according to the present disclosure include receiving measurements of a plurality of forces and a plurality of moments acting on a balance platform of a balance device, estimating a plurality of non-user force measurements and a plurality of non-user moment measurements caused by gravity and inertial accelerations, determining a compensation adjustment and implementing the compensation adjustment to the balance platform.

System, device and method for multi-plane evaluation of postural health

Embodiments of a controlled odor emission system and device include an odor presentation port tube and an odor tray securely retained against a platform, a valve housing securable to the platform adjacent the tray, a valve secured within the valve housing and an actuator for moving the valve. By controlling movement of the valve, precise amounts of an odor can be dispensed under programmatic control for training animals. Further, a system incorporating a central control unit and a reward dispenser in communication with an odor emission device to facilitate animal training.

Odor emission system, device and method

A communicator for autonomous monitoring, detecting, and tracking of movement and orientation of a portion of a body of a wearer is disclosed. The communicator includes a sensor configured to detect a translational and/or rotational movement of the portion of the body of the wearer; an altimeter to measure changes in altitude of the portion of the body of the wearer; and a processor configured to determine an orientation and/or position of the portion of the body of the wearer. The processor further configured to compensate for the measured changes in altitude. The sensor is implemented at least by one of the following: accelerometer(s), gyroscope(s), and/or magnetometer(s).
