Orthesis System And Methods For Control Of Exoskeletons
US Patent:
2013015, Jun 20, 2013
Filed:
Aug 23, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/818338
Inventors:
Homayoon Kazerooni - Berkeley CA, US
Wayne Yi Tung - Berkeley CA, US
Jason Ira Reid - Berkeley CA, US
Michael Geoffrey Mckinley - Berkeley CA, US

Assignee:
THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA - Oakland CA
International Classification:
A61H 3/00
US Classification:
601 35
Abstract:
An orthesis system includes an exoskeleton configured to be coupled to a user and a separate support device in the form of crutches, a walker or a cane. Preferably, the exoskeleton includes leg supports, an exoskeleton trunk, and actuators to provide for movement of the exoskeleton. The support device includes at least one support handle and a signal generator coupled to the support handle configured to generate and send a user command signal to an exoskeleton controller when activated by the user. The user command signal causes the exoskeleton controller to shift the exoskeleton between a first operational state and a second operational state. Optionally, a signal generator separate from the support device may be utilized to control the exoskeleton. Operational states of the exoskeleton include Walking, Standing, Seated, Sitting, Down and Standing Up states. User command signals can include a combination of distinct main, walking, or stopping signals.
Semi-Active Robotic Joint
US Patent:

Abstract:
A robotic joint comprises a first link, a middle link, a torque generator, a second link, and a locking mechanism. Different ends of the middle link are rotatably coupled to the first link and the second link. The torque generator is coupled to the first link and the middle link and is configured to produce torque between these links. The locking mechanism is switchable between a locking state and an unlocking state. In the unlocking state, the locking mechanism allows free rotation of the second link relative to the middle link in the first and second rotation directions. In the locking state, the locking mechanism is configured to impede rotation of the second link relative to the middle link in the first rotation direction and to allow rotation of the second link relative to the middle link in the second rotation direction opposite of the first rotation direction.
Neck Supporting Exoskeleton
US Patent:

International Classification:
A61H 1/02
A61F 5/058
A61F 5/058
Abstract:
A neck supporting exoskeleton is configured to be worn by a person to support the person's head during backward extension motions of the person's neck. The neck supporting exoskeleton may comprise a torso frame configured to be coupled to the person's torso, a head pillow configured to contact the rear portion of the person's head during backward extension motions of the person's neck, a linkage allowing for relative motion between the head pillow and the torso frame in the sagittal plane of the person, and an actuator configured to impose a supporting force onto the head pillow. When the person's neck extension angle increases beyond an engagement angle, the actuator causes the linkage to impose a supporting force onto the head pillow resisting the backward extension motion of the head pillow and the person's head relative to the torso frame thereby providing a support for the person's head.
Trunk Supporting Exoskeleton And Method Of Use
US Patent:
2019021, Jul 18, 2019
Filed:

International Classification:
A61F 5/02
A61H 1/02
A61H 1/02
Abstract:
A trunk supporting exoskeleton comprises: a supporting trunk; thigh links configured to move in unison with a wearer's thighs; and first and second torque generators located on both left and right halves of the wearer substantially close to the wearer's hip. The torque generators couple the supporting trunk to the thigh links, and generate torque between the thigh links and the supporting trunk. When the wearer bends forward such that a predetermined portion of the supporting trunk passes beyond a predetermined angle from vertical, a torque generator(s) imposes a resisting torque between the supporting trunk and the thigh link(s), causing the supporting trunk to impose a force against the wearer's trunk, and the thigh link(s) to impose a force onto the wearer's thigh. When the predetermined portion does not pass beyond the predetermined angle, the torque generators impose no resisting torques between said supporting trunk and respective thigh links.

Abstract:
A coupling device couples a walker to a torso orthosis which is coupled to a person. The coupling device includes an orthosis coupling member coupled to said torso orthosis, a walker coupling member coupled to said walker, and a mechanism coupled to the orthosis coupling member from its first end and to the walker coupling member from its second end. The mechanism constrains said orthosis coupling member to move along a free line. The torso orthosis is worn by the person and said coupling device is coupled to both said walker and said torso orthosis. The person may be walking along a moving direction not parallel with said free line. The mechanism forces said walker and torso orthosis to move along said moving direction and allows said torso orthosis to move freely along said free line when said moving direction is not parallel with said free line.
