Abstract
A stabilizing medical belt or harness method and apparatus for averting injury in individuals that are prone to falls is configured to be worn by the user as a belt or harness and operated autonomously. Power is preferably provided by a battery pack located on the belt or harness. The invention includes a plurality of gyroscopic drives that produce a strong stabilizing effect when activated by a central computer that detects when the user is about to slip or fall. The medical stabilizer belt or harness will also aid patients in physical therapy by assisting in balance during recovery.
Claims4
A method for wearable user stabilization, comprising:
- securely coupling a stabilizer apparatus to a user with a harness, the stabilizer apparatus comprising:
- at least one hubless motor configured to create a first gyroscopic force having rotational torque;
- and
- at least one counter rotating hubless motor configured to create a second gyroscopic force to diminish rotational torque of the first gyroscopic force;
- creating at the stabilizer apparatus a first gyroscopic force using the at least one hubless motor;
- creating at the stabilizer apparatus a second gyroscopic force using the at least one counter rotating hubless motor to diminish rotational torque of the first gyroscopic force;
- and
- transferring inertia to the user from the apparatus to the harness to create artificial balance for the user.
