Abstract
In one embodiment, a method of providing an intervention, includes: obtaining a motion sensing device configured for manipulation by a user; creating, via one or more processing elements, a communication link between the motion sensing device and a robot; and detecting, via the motion sensing device, a movement initiated by the user; creating, via the one or more processing elements, a signal within the sensing device; transmitting, via the one or more processing elements, the signal to the robot; and moving the robot based on the signal.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- a microcontroller;
- an electronic transceiver;
- a movement detector in communication with the microcontroller via the electronic transceiver;
- and
- a robot, wherein the movement detector is configured to detect user motion and control the robot based on the motion, wherein the device is configured to be used for rehabilitation or diagnosis of a motor condition of the user, wherein the movement detector comprises at least one inertial measurement unit configured to assess the motor condition of the user.
A method of providing a rehabilitation or diagnosis for a user intervention, comprising:
- obtaining a motion sensing device configured for manipulation by the user, wherein the motion sensing device is configured to assess a motor condition of the user;
- creating, via one or more processing elements, a communication link between the motion sensing device and a robot;
- and
- detecting, via the motion sensing device, a movement initiated by the user;
- creating, via the one or more processing elements, a signal within the sensing device;
- transmitting, via the one or more processing elements, the signal to the robot;
- moving the robot based on the signal.
A system;
- a motion sensing device;
- a robot;
- and
- a central processing unit in electronic communication with at least one of the motion sensing device or the robot, wherein the system is configured to be used for rehabilitation or diagnosis of a motor condition of a user, wherein the movement detector comprises at least one inertial measurement unit configured to assess the motor condition of the user.
