Intelligent body support

摘要: An automatic feedback and adjustment setup is integrally connected to a body joint support. The support may be of the flexible, semi-rigid, or rigid type. contains one more inflatable/deflatable bladders, each bladder individually controlled by hydraulic pump. Sensors embedded in monitor muscle activity (EMG) transmit those electronic measurements microprocessor which processes according variety prestored algorithms. result this processing compared preset minimum maximum levels. inflation level then automatically adjusted activating pumps keep calculated between these maximum. combination support, sensors, microprocessor, comparison device, creates closed-looped biofeedback system for controlling degree stress person experiencing while wearing Thus, likelihood joint, muscular, soft tissue damage can minimized. Also disclosed method using
