Patent ID: 11955217
Assignee: UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK
Field: Medical technology (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  A | IPC A  G

Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
a. at least one input to receive one or more event-related desynchronization (ERD) signals;
b. at least one output to a functional electrical stimulation (FES) device to carry out FES corresponding to an intended activity (IA); and
c. a controller to communicate with the at least one input and the at least one output, the controller configured to:
i. to record an ERD signal received from the at least one input, the ERD signal corresponding to an uncharacterized IA for each time value of one or more successive time values,
ii. for each time value:
1. To access one or more ERD templates of coefficients for one or more characterized IA's;
2. To update an ERD table for the uncharacterized IA and to compare the updated ERD table with the ERD templates to determine whether the uncharacterized IA is an instance of one of the characterized IA's; and

iii. to initiate a device action instruction on at the at least one output to the FES device after a minimum number of time values necessary to determine whether the uncharacterized IA is an instance of one of the characterized IA's.
