Rehabilitation and training device and methods
First Claim
1. A training method comprising:
- providing a training system having a plurality of buttons arranged within a training section of the training system, the training section having a span of at least 36 inches, each of the plurality of buttons electrically connected to a controller configured to determine a state of the plurality of buttons, each of the plurality of buttons associated with a light configured to indicate a particular button within the plurality of buttons;
illuminating a light, thereby indicating to a user a designated button of the plurality of buttons that is designated for depressing;
sensing the depression of one or more of the plurality of buttons;
determining a relationship between the designated button and the sensed depression of the one or more of the plurality of buttons using the controller;
determining a training regimen based on the determined relationship between the designated button and the sensed depression of the one or more of the plurality of buttons; and
implementing the determined training regimen using the training system.

Abstract
Training and rehabilitation systems and methods involving providing a training system having buttons arranged within a span of at least 36 inches, each of the buttons associated with a light configured to indicate its button to a user. A light is illuminated, thereby indicating to the user a designated button desired for depressing. The depression of one or more of the buttons by the user is determined. A relationship may be determined between the designated buttons and the depression of the buttons. A training regimen may be based on the determined relationship between the designated buttons and the depression of the buttons. The determined training regimen may be implemented using the training system.
