A control system for a movement reconstruction and/or restoration system for a patient, comprising

Control system for movement reconstruction and/or restoration for a patient

A control system for a movement reconstruction and/or restoration system for a patient, comprising a CNS-Stimulation Module, especially an EES-Module, configured and arranged to provide CNS-Stimulation to a patient, and/or a PNS-Stimulation Module, especially an FES-Module, configured and arranged to provide PNS-Stimulation to a patient, a controller configured and arranged to control the CNS-Stimulation Module and/or the PNS-Stimulation Module, and at least one sensor configured and arranged to measure at least one parameter indicative of the movement of at least one limb and/or part of a limb of a patient.

Sensor in clothing of limbs or footwear

The present invention relates to a control system for a movement reconstruction and/or restoration system for a patient, comprising a movement model generation module to generate movement model data information, an analysis module receiving and processing data provided at least by the movement model generation module, wherein the control system is configured and arranged to prepare and provide on the basis of data received by the movement model generation module and the analysis module a movement model describing the movement of a patient and providing, on the basis of the movement model, stimulation data for movement reconstruction and/or restoration.

Movement reconstruction control system

Control system for closed-loop neuromodulation

The present invention relates to a robotic system useful to unload an object/person from its weight. The robotic system is useful in locomotor rehabilitation programs and allows the manipulation of forces in a three-dimensional space with far lower actuator requirements and a much higher precision than prior-art systems. The apparatus combines passive and active elements to minimize actuation requirements while still keeping inertia to a minimum and control precision to a maximum. It requires minimal actuators and at the same time has a low inertia.

Apparatus to apply forces in a three-dimensional space

The present disclosure relates to an active closed-loop medical system comprising at least one implantable medical device, at least one non-implanted component and at least a controller for controlling the implantable medical device, wherein the implantable medical device, the non-implanted component and the controller are connected for data exchange, wherein the implantable medical device, the non-implanted component and the controller forming in the active state a closed-loop system in such that the implantable medical device is controlled by the controller on the basis of the signals exchanged with the non-implanted component.

Active closed-loop medical system

It is disclosed an apparatus for restoring voluntary control of locomotion in a subject suffering from a neuromotor impairment comprising a multidirectional trunk support system and a device for epidural electrical stimulation. The robotic interface is capable of evaluating, enabling and training motor pattern generation and balance across a variety of natural walking behaviors in subjects with neuromotor impairments. Optionally, pharmacological cocktails can be administered to enhance rehabilitation results. It is also disclosed a method for the evaluation, enablement and training of a subject suffering from neuromotor impairments by combining robotically assisted evaluation tools with sophisticated neurobiomechanical and statistical analyzes. A method for the rehabilitation (by this term also comprising restoring voluntary control of locomotion) of a subject suffering from a neuromotor impairment in particular partial or total paralysis of limbs, is also disclosed.

Apparatus and method for restoring voluntary control of locomotion in neuromotor impairments

The present disclosure relates to a pulse generating system comprising a pulse generator for generating a pulse or pulses and a controller for controlling the pulse generating means, where the pulse generating system is capable to work in at least a regular mode and a safety mode, where in the regular mode the pulse generator and the controller are connected and where in the safety mode there is no connection between the pulse generator and the controller and where in the safety mode the pulse generator automatically switches to a baseline stimulation command.
