Systems for Providing Non-Invasive Neurorehabilitation of a Patient

A system for providing non-invasive neuromodulation to a patient, the system comprising:

• a mouthpiece comprising:
• an elongated housing having an anterior region and a posterior region, the elongated housing having a non-planar exterior top surface;
• a printed circuit board mounted to a bottom portion of the elongated housing, the printed circuit board having a plurality of electrodes for delivering subcutaneous local electrical stimulation to the patient's tongue;
• control circuitry mounted within the elongated housing for communicating wirelessly and controlling electrical signals delivered to the electrodes;
• and
• a controller comprising:
• an elongated u-shaped element having first and second arms that separate an anterior portion from a posterior portion, the anterior portion of the elongated u-shaped element located at a first distance from a central portion of one of the arms and having a first mass, and the posterior portion of the elongated u-shaped element located at a second distance from a central portion of the other of the arms and having a second mass, the product of the first mass and the first distance being larger than the product of the second mass and the second distance;
• an electronic receptacle located at the anterior portion of the u-shaped element connecting to the cable;
• a microcontroller located within the three-dimensional u-shaped element, the microcontroller configured to exchange electrical signals with the mouthpiece via a wireless connection, the electrical signals comprising information used to determine an amplitude and duration of electrostimulation energy pulses delivered to the patient's tongue;
• and
• at least one of (i) an accelerometer for measuring an activity level of the patient, (ii) a data logger for logging information related to the activity level of the patient, (iii) tongue sense circuitry for determining if a patient's tongue is in contact with the plurality of electrodes located on the bottom portion of the mouthpiece, (iv) a clock for determining a total time of usage of the mouthpiece, or (v) an audio indicator that can warn the patient when the remaining battery charge is inadequate to complete a therapy session.
