A treadmill arrangement, having a treadmill stand and an endless belt which runs over rollers mounted in the treadmill stand and is driven by a drive, with one surface of the endless belt serving as a walking or running surface. A motion state detection device is allocated to the treadmill to detect a motion state or a positional change of the legs and/or feet of the user relative to the treadmill stand and to obtain a control signal for the drive.

Treadmill arrangement with motion-adaptive virtual running environment

Apparatus for detecting motions of a lower jaw relative to the upper jaw of a vertebrate, comprising a first holder () to be fixed to the head of a vertebrate with a fixed assignment relative to the upper jaw for accommodating transmitter or receiver units of a position determining system () for the detection of motion, a second holder (A) to be fixed to the lower jaw on the left side for accommodating corresponding left-sided receiver and transmitter units of the position determining system, a third holder (B) to be fixed to the lower jaw on the right side for accommodating corresponding right-sided receiver and transmitter units of the position determining system, and a first evaluation unit () for processing signals from the receiver units so as to generate a differentiated dynamic image of the motions of the left and right sides of the lower jaw from relative positional changes of the transmitter units () which are associated with the motions of the lower jaw and are detected by the receiver units.

Device for detecting movements of a lower jaw

A gait analysis system for training or rehabilitation has an endless belt with pressure sensors underneath the belt to sense a person walking on the belt and an analyzing unit for analyzing the gait of the person. The system further includes an image display system with stored data for displaying images to a person using the apparatus training and/or therapy purposes.

Gait analysis system

Gait analysis apparatus using a treadmill, comprising an endless belt, which is guided over at least two rollers and the upper surface of which serves as walking surface, a sensor system for determining a pressure/force distribution on a measurement plate located underneath the endless belt and having a plurality of pressure/force sensors arranged in a matrix on the side facing the treadmill belt, wherein the measurement plate comprising the plurality of pressure/force sensors arranged in a matrix is itself supported by at least one base force sensor and the analyzing unit comprises an additional signal input connected to a signal output of the base force sensor as well as an additional signal processing stage for processing the output signal of the or each base force sensor in terms of a calibration or correction signal processing of the output signals of the pressure/force sensors arranged in a matrix, respectively.

Gait analysis apparatus and method using a treadmill

Position measuring system including a synchronization transducer used to synchronize a position signal evaluation with the position signal emission of a wireless synchronization transmission line between a position signal transmitter and a position signal evaluation unit, or visa versa, in order to transmit synchronization signals to a series controller of a position signal transmitter or to identifying means of the position signal evaluation unit.
