Biomechanical function analysis/interactive rehabilitation system
Definition
A computerized device assembly designed for: 1) analysis of biomechanical/neuromuscular function using dedicated hardware; and 2) neuromuscular rehabilitation therapy at multiple anatomical sites based on patient interaction with dedicated physical-response measuring hardware (e.g., dynamometer, standing force plates, EMG electrodes) providing feedback in a videogame-like format. It includes multiple pieces of neuromuscular function analysis and physical-response measuring hardware, computer interface devices and dedicated software; it is intended to be used with an off-the-shelf computer. It is not based on tracking movement through space (i.e., not a virtual-display rehabilitation system).
