MOBILE SIMULATOR OF VERTICAL POSE FOR ELABORATION AND TESTING OF VESTIBULAR PROSTHESES Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A61F5/04 A61B5/103 G01C19/56 G01P9/02 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment, namely to means for determining real and permissible parametres of vestibular prostheses sensitivity, their testing and modeling on the basis of obtained data of loading on vestibular analyser while designing vestibular prostheses, as well as for carrying out neurophysiological experiments. Mobile stimulator contains fastened on movable base reverse pendulum, provided with sensors of angles and angular velocities and unit of information processing and programmed control, reverse pendulum being made multilink and anthropomorphic with three degrees of freedom, in whose units electric engines and sensors of angles and angular velocities are installed. On upper link of pendulum located is platform on which, depending on operation mode, placed are: tested prototype of vestibular prosthesis, prepared vestibular apparatus of animal for identification of dynamic parametres of vestibular function or microelectromechanical system of vestibular function. Sensors of angles and angular velocities of reverse pendulum and unit of control of electric engines are connected via channels of wireless connection with unit of information processing and programmed control, made with possibility to receive via channels of wireless connection outlet signals of microelectromechanical system of vestibular function, sensors of prepared vestibular apparatus of animal and tested prototype of vestibular prosthesis.

EFFECT: application of invention allows to increase correctness and accuracy of performed measurements and research.
