| Title: | Biofeedback system with body mapping clothing for patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis | Authors: | Yip, Y Kwok, G Cheung, M Yick, K |
Issue Date: | 21-Apr-2020 | Source: | US Patent 10,624,579 B2. Washington, DC: US Patent and Trademark Office, 2020. | Abstract: | A biofeedback system for monitoring patient-related signals of a patient having adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is disclosed. The present invention provides a personalized biofeedback to the patient based on the patient-related signals for restoring balance in muscle activities and reducing displacement of both sides of the patient's spine as a treatment for AIS. The biofeedback system comprises clothing integrated with posture monitoring sensors, and one or more computational systems comprising a sensor-based sEMG posture training subsystem for providing posture training and a posture monitoring subsystem for providing progressive training through daily activities. The sensor-based sEMG posture training subsystem comprises a posture training device coupled to a plurality of sEMG sensors, a feedback device and a calibration system. The posture monitoring subsystem monitors the posture of the patient and determines the properness of the posture by comparing the real-time data with the calibrated signals from the sEMG posture training subsystem. | Rights: | Assignee: The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. |
