Abstract
A cuff assembly includes a frame assembly configured to be positioned about a limb of a user and support a functional electrical stimulation system, and an over center closure mechanism coupled to the frame assembly and configured to secure the frame assembly relative to the limb, the over center closure mechanism being located on a medial side of the limb when the frame assembly is positioned about the limb.
Claims20
A functional electrical stimulation system comprising:
- a frame assembly configured to be positioned about a lower leg of a user;
- a liner coupled to an inner surface of the frame assembly, the liner including a locating guide configured to align with a tibial crest of the lower leg of the user when the frame assembly is positioned about the lower leg of the user;
- an electrode assembly positioned on an inner surface of the liner;
- and
- a control unit supported by the frame assembly, the control unit configured to provide functional electrical stimulation to a neuromuscular system of the user through the electrode assembly.
2 more elements
A cuff assembly comprising:
- a frame assembly configured to be positioned about a lower leg of a user and to support a control unit, the frame assembly is symmetric about a line of symmetry extending along a length of the frame assembly such that the frame assembly can be used on a left leg or a right leg of the user;
- a liner coupled to an inner surface of the frame assembly, the liner including a locating guide configured to align with a tibial crest of the lower leg of the user when the frame assembly is positioned about the lower leg of the user;
- and
- an electrode assembly positioned on an inner surface of the liner.
1 more element
A liner assembly for a cuff assembly comprising:
- a liner having configured to be positioned about a lower leg of a user, the liner including an inner surface, an outer surface, and a top edge;
- a locating guide positioned along the top edge of the liner and configured to align with a tibial crest of the lower leg of the user when the liner is positioned about the lower leg of the user;
- an electrode locator removably coupled to the inner surface of the liner;
