REFLEX HAMMER WITH SENSORS
A system includes a first device having a handle, a head coupled to the handle, a bumper supported by a first end of the head and adapted to be used to strike a patient tendon, a force sensor coupled to the bumper and adapted to generate force data in response to force encountered by the bumper and to generate force data, a first accelerometer coupled to generate head acceleration data in response to movement of the head, and first circuitry to capture the force data and acceleration data. The system may further include second device having a housing adapted to be coupled to the patient limb, a second accelerometer supported by the housing to generate limb acceleration data, and second circuitry to capture the acceleration data.
DIGITAL REFLEX QUANTIZATION AND SIGNATURE ANALYSIS
Systems and methods for digital reflex quantization and signature analysis. Movement of a stimulating device invoking a reflex response in an organism is captured as stimuli data. Electromyographic (EMG) of the reflex response is captured as EMG data. Movement resulting from the reflex response of a limb/appendage of the organism is captured as motion data. One or more of the stimuli data, the EMG data, and the motion data are analyzed to determine one or both of a motion signature and an EMG signature defining quantitative evaluation of the reflex response.

System and method for laryngeal reflex examination
A system for elucidating physiological characteristics of laryngeal adductor reflex (LAR) responses in a human or animal subject's larynx's vocal folds (VFs) includes a pressure pulsing component to provide a stable and adjustable pulse of pressure to the larynx, a control system component in functional communication with the pressure pulsing component to control or regulate one or more aspects of the timing, magnitude and number of pulses of pressure delivered by the pressure pulsing component during respiratory cycles, and a respiratory sensor component to detect and/or determine physiological characteristics of the subject's LAR response. The method includes evoking a LAR response in the subject and determining one or more physiological measurements including duration, velocity, and angles of motion of the subject's VFs during the LAR response. The present disclosure provides for enhanced endoscopic field of view of the larynx and delivering stimuli over a wider range of controlled parameters.

Systems and methods for delivering bone conduction stimuli to and for measuring gravitation receptor functions of the inner ear
Disclosed herein are apparatus and methods for delivering bone conduction stimuli for measuring the gravitation receptor functions of the inner ear. In some embodiments, a system may include (i) an impactor operatively linked to a guide disposed within a housing and (ii) an electrically driven actuator enclosed within the housing. The electrically driven actuator may be configured to cause the impactor to (i) travel to a striking point to deliver a mechanical bone conduction stimulus for transmission to a skull bone and (ii) controllably decelerate prior to the instance of stimuli delivery. The system may also include an oculometric response monitoring system including a video camera for capturing video of motion of one or more eyes of the patient.
