Control system for perturbation based therapy

Abstract

The invention is an innovative rehabilitation device designed to provide targeted and multi-directional perturbations for individuals undergoing therapy or athletic performance training, with applications ranging from physical rehabilitation to balance training. Comprising a harness worn by the subject, a rigid frame resembling an open cube, and a manual control unit, the invention utilizes a system of cables and pulleys to dynamically adjust the position of the harness within the frame. Through manual manipulation of the control unit, operators can precisely control the direction and intensity of perturbations, facilitating focused stimulation of the subject's sensory and motor systems. The device offers versatility through its reel mechanism, allowing for independent or combined perturbation types with enhanced precision. Integrated sensors provide real-time feedback, ensuring safe and effective rehabilitation tailored to individual needs.
