Patent Images
1. A method for moving a jointed body part of a patient through a range of motion, the method comprising:
- (a) deploying an external actuating device on the patient;
(b) activating said external actuating device so as to repeatedly perform a set of motions according to a certain set of parameters;
(c) collecting data relating to said performance;
(d) analyzing said data by use of a data processor, said analyzing being substantially in real time; and
(e) during said activating, modifying, responsive to said data, at least one parameter of said set of parameters during all uninterrupted treatment session.

Abstract
The present invention is a portable orthotic system that performs predefined or user-controlled limb movements, collects data regarding limb movement, performs data analysis and displays representations of the data and data analysis results in real time, and modifies current operational parameters based upon such data so as to optimize the rehabilitative process performed by the system.

30. A system for moving a jointed body part of a patient through a range of motion, the system comprising:
-
(a) an external actuating device deployed on the patient configured so as to repeatedly perform a set of motions according to a certain set of parameters;
(b) data collection elements associated with said external actuating device configured so as to collect data relating to said rotation;
(c) a data processor in data communication with said data collection elements and control communication with said external actuating device, said data processor configured so as to analyze said data in real time and during said performance of said set of motions, modify, responsive to said data, at least one parameter of said set of parameters during an uninterrupted treatment session. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59)
