Abstract
Devices systems and methods are disclosed. Among other things, the devices systems and methods can facilitate ergonomic gripping of a handle; conform to the shape of a wrist; enhance golf techniques or performance; enhance racket sport technique or performance; protect a head of a user engaged in contact sports or other hazardous activities; identify concussions, in some cases in substantially real time; provide sterilization of garments; control surgical robots; allow for medical treatment of multiple subjects without disrobing; provide biometric or other data; and/or be used to train muscles or body parts for, for example, performing specified tasks using a body part.
Claims20
A method of training a body part, the method comprising:
- coupling a muscle activation stimulus generator to the body part;
- generating a muscle activation stimulus using the generator;
- and
- transmitting the generated muscle activation stimulus to a muscle of the body part to activate the muscle.
A muscle activation system comprising;
- a stimulation generator configured to generate a muscle activation stimulus;
- a plurality of stimulation transmitters operatively connected to the stimulation generator and configured to transmit the muscle activation stimulus from the stimulation generator to respective muscles of a subject;
- and
- a controller configured to control the generator to generate a predefined sequence of muscle activation stimuli;
- wherein the stimulation transmitters are configured to transmit the predefined sequence of muscle activation stimuli that is generated by the stimulation generator to the respective muscles of the subject to activate the respective muscles of the subject in a muscle activation sequence that causes a body part of the subject to perform a specified movement.
