Abstract
A system and method for rehabilitating a patient. In some embodiments, a patient or other subject can stand on a balance plate and perform one or more tests in response to instructions or visual stimuli on a display screen. Data, such as Centre of Pressure data, can be obtained from the balance plate and processed by a processor in tandem with the progression of a test presented on the display screen. The information can be correlated and used to assist in diagnosing or rehabilitating the patient or subject.
Claims21
-21. (canceled)
A system for patient rehabilitation, the system comprising:
- a balance plate for measuring whole of body Center of Pressure (COP) dynamic weight distribution data of a patient, wherein the balance plate comprises a single support surface configured such that the patient stands on the single support surface and at least one load cell configured to detect movement of the patient's COP;
- a cognitive assessment module operable to measure the patient's cognitive abilities;
- a visual display;
- and
- a processor in operative communication with the balance plate, the processor being configured to generate data pertaining to (a) the ability of the patient to conscientiously move their COP from a first predetermined point to at least a second predetermined point as displayed on the visual display and (b) the patient's cognitive abilities, the data being generated using the COP dynamic weight distribution data measured by the balance plate and the cognitive assessment module.

A system for patient rehabilitation, the system comprising:
- a balance plate for measuring whole of body Center of Pressure (COP) dynamic weight distribution data of a patient, wherein the balance plate comprises a single support surface configured such that the patient stands on the single support surface and at least one sensor configured to detect movement of the patient's COP;
- at least one additional module operable to measure the patient's capacity for planning and foresight, cognitive abilities, or a combination thereof;
- a visual display;
- and
- a processor in operative communication with the balance plate, the processor being configured to generate data pertaining to (a) the ability of the patient to conscientiously move their COP from a first predetermined point to at least a second predetermined point as displayed on the visual display and (b) at least one of the patient's capacity for planning and foresight, cognitive abilities, or a combination thereof, the data being generated using the COP dynamic weight distribution data measured by the balance plate and test results from the at least one additional module.

- at least one additional testing module operable to assess the patient's capacity for planning and foresight;
- a visual display;
- and
- a processor in operative communication with the balance plate, the processor being configured to generate data pertaining to (a) the ability of the patient to conscientiously move their COP from a first predetermined point to at least a second predetermined point as displayed on the visual display and (b) the patient's capacity for planning and foresight, the data being generated using the COP dynamic weight distribution data measured by the balance plate and the at least one additional testing module,
- wherein movement of the patient's COP from the first predetermined point to the second predetermined point is tracked by the processor and represented as a trace on the display.
