GAIT DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYTICS SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR OPERATING UNWEIGHTING TRAINING SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240342549 titled 'GAIT DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYTICS SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR OPERATING UNWEIGHTING TRAINING SYSTEMS
The patent application describes exercise or therapy systems that create an unweighted environment around a user using a mechanical system or a differential air pressure (DAP) envelope.
- The systems can partially or completely unweight the user, providing benefits for general fitness, athletic training, or medical rehabilitation.
- Improved control systems for pressure chambers in DAP systems are also discussed, including data collection and utilization for various purposes.
- The application also covers treadmills and related software, control systems, and analytics for obtaining gait data from load cells in the system.
Potential Applications: - Physical therapy and rehabilitation - Athletic training and performance enhancement - General fitness and weight management programs
Problems Solved: - Providing a controlled unweighted environment for users - Improving data collection and utilization in therapy systems - Enhancing gait analysis and performance monitoring
Benefits: - Reduced impact on joints during exercise - Customizable unweighting levels for different users - Enhanced data collection for better therapy outcomes
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Unweighting Systems for Enhanced Exercise and Therapy This technology can be used in physical therapy clinics, sports training facilities, and fitness centers to offer advanced unweighting solutions for users.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior patents related to unweighting systems, differential air pressure technology, and pressure chamber control systems to understand the existing landscape of this technology.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers are constantly studying the impact of unweighting systems on rehabilitation outcomes, athletic performance, and general fitness levels. Stay updated on the latest findings in this field.
Questions about Unweighting Systems: 1. How do unweighting systems benefit users during exercise or therapy? Unweighting systems reduce the impact on joints, allowing for safer and more comfortable movement during activities. 2. Are there different levels of unweighting that can be adjusted for individual users? Yes, unweighting systems can be customized to provide varying levels of support based on the user's needs and abilities.
Original Abstract Submitted
described herein are fields of exercise or therapy systems in particular exercise or therapy systems that controllably generate and maintain an unweighted environment using a mechanical system or a differential air pressure (dap) envelope about a user so as to at least partially or completely unweight the user. this application also relates to improved control systems for pressure chambers for use in differential air pressure (dap) systems including data collection and utilization for general fitness use, athletic use, or medical use treadmills and related software, control and analytics systems, especially as related to obtaining gait data from load cells provided in the system.
