SMART GAIT REHABILITATION SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATED DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY OF NEUROLOGIC IMPAIRMENT

摘要

The present invention describes a Smart Gait Rehabilitation System (SGRS). The present invention is capable of performing a quantitative analysis of human movements based on the simultaneous measurement of within-subject stride-to-stride changes in gait using accelerometers, gyroscopes, goniometers, and electromyography (EMG). The system described in the present invention is based on step-training that incorporates sensory feedback, provide feedback about kinematics and torques, and proceeds at walking speeds typical of overground ambulation.
