Abstract
A rehabilitation device, comprising a movement element capable of controlling at least one motion parameter of a portion of a patient; a brain monitor which generates a signal indicative of brain activity; and circuitry including a memory having stored therein rehabilitation information and which inter-relates said signal and movement of said movement element as part of a rehabilitation process which utilizes said rehabilitation information.
Claims57
A rehabilitation device, comprising:
- a movement element capable of controlling at least one motion parameter of a portion of a patient;
- a non-invasive brain monitor which generates a brain activity signal indicative of brain activity;
- and
- circuitry of a controller including a memory having stored therein rehabilitation information and which inter-relates said brain activity signal and a mechanical movement signal, said mechanical movement signal derived by the controller and that is not based on the brain activity signal, to control said movement element as part of a rehabilitation process which utilizes said rehabilitation information and wherein said circuitry is adapted to change at least one motion parameter responsive to said brain activity signal.
1 more element
A method of rehabilitation, comprising:
- controlling the motion of at least part of a patient as part of a rehabilitation process using a movement element;
- measuring a first brain activity signal of said patient using a non-invasive first brain monitor, in association with said controlling;
- deciding on a desired brain rehabilitation using circuitry of a controller including a memory having stored therein rehabilitation information and which inter-relates said brain activity signal and a mechanical movement signal, said mechanical movement signal derived by the controller and is not based on the brain activity signal, to control said movement element as part of a rehabilitation process which utilizes said rehabilitation information;
- and,
- changing said motion using said circuitry based on said measuring the brain activity signal to affect said rehabilitation.
