Vertical oscillation auxiliary platform
A vertical oscillation auxiliary platform, wherein a drive mechanism drives an upper cover tread board to make vertical up-and-down movements with a transmission mechanism; when the drive mechanism drives a transmission shaft rotate, the transmission shaft drives lower parts of 8-shaped bearing blocks to rotate eccentrically, and upper parts thereof move horizontally; the 8-shaped bearing blocks drive one end of triangular bearing blocks to move horizontally with horizontal transmission rods, and the triangular bearing blocks, without moving a third end, convert horizontal movements at one end to be vertical movements at another end, and drive finally the upper cover tread board to generate stable vertical oscillation, so that singularity and stability of vertical movements of the upper cover tread board can be promised, and more stable and comfortable feeling and passive exercise effects can be gained, without deteriorating the exercise effects and exercise comfort due to additional disorganized lateral movements.

The electrode is divided into a first removable portion including a first removable activation area, a second removable portion including a second removable activation area, and a main body including a main activation area, the first removable portion is configured to separate from the second removable portion and the main body by a first perforation, and the second removable portion is configured to separate from the main body by a second perforation.
SPINE EXERCISE EQUIPMENT
A spine treating apparatus is presented. The apparatus includes a plurality of frames arranged in an x-direction to form a surface, suspension pieces supporting the plurality of frames, a rotator on which the suspension pieces rest, and a motor that turns the rotator about an axis that extends in the x-direction. The rotator has an uneven outer surface such that when the motor turns the rotator, the suspension pieces move according to the contours of the rotator's uneven outer surface. The movement of the suspension pieces treats the back of a patient lying on the surface. A method of treating a user's spine is also presented. The method entails arranging frames to form a surface, providing a suspension piece for each of the frames to support the frames, providing a rotator with an uneven surface to contact the suspension piece, and turning the rotator.
Hemiplegic forearm function recovery training device and method
A hemiplegic forearm function recovery training device includes a forearm mounting part (2) on which a forearm (S) is to be mounted. The forearm mounting part (2) includes a mounting body (20), an inner frame portion (2B), an outer frame portion (2A), and a control part. The mounting body (20) has a forearm fixing portion (22) on which the forearm (S) is mounted and a gripping mechanism (23) capable of being gripped by a hand of the forearm (S). The inner frame portion (2B) is fitted to the mounting body (20) and is rotatable around the forearm (S). The outer frame portion (2A) guides the inner frame portion (2B) in a rotation direction thereof. The control part performs a series of controls that repeatedly causes normal rotation, stop, reverse rotation, and stop of the inner frame portion (2B) while acquiring rotation angle information of the inner frame portion (2B). In the normal rotation the control part controls angular velocity or acceleration of the inner frame portion (2B) to stimulate a training target muscle of the forearm (S) and in the reverse rotation the control part provides resistance to the inner frame portion (2B) to sustain stimulation to the training target muscle to maintain muscle tone.
Pulmonary vest for electro-sonic stimulation treatment
A device and method for loosening mucous secretions from a subjects lungs including a vest-like garment having enclosures thereon, the enclosures containing one or more sonic transducers, the output face of which is arranged to face the subject's body, the sonic transducers configured to repeatedly emit sonic bursts having a duration of about 10 to about 50 milliseconds at one or more frequencies ranging from 100 Hz-400 Hz, at a rate of about one to about four bursts per second.
Soft knee exoskeleton driven by negative-pressure linear actuator
The present invention discloses a soft knee exoskeleton driven by a negative-pressure linear actuator, including: an exoskeleton controller, a left leg knee joint soft actuator, a right leg knee joint soft actuator and the like. The soft knee exoskeleton mainly uses a miniature vacuum negative pressure pump as an air pressure power source. A DSP embedded control system performs real-time processing on the data, such as a muscle force, a knee joint angle and a human-machine interaction force, detected by a sensing system, estimates a human-machine cooperation state, and performs real-time control on the switching of the negative pressure flow and an air channel of the miniature vacuum negative pressure pump.
Percussive massage device having a USB port
A percussive massage device includes an upper half housing, an electric motor, a lower half housing, and a handle. In response to activating the motor, the eccentric counterweight rotates. And in turn, the link converts the rotational motion of the counterweight into a reciprocating linear motion of the follower. The application head strongly moves back and forth to treat body stress or pain of a user.
Systems, devices, and methods for testing suture performance under static and dynamic conditions
A system for testing sutures includes a test bench having a rotatable table, a framework supporting the test bench and the rotatable table above a surface, and a continuous passive motion (CPM) machine mounted on the rotatable table. The CPM machine is configured to rotate between a first position in which the CPM machine is upright and located above the rotatable table and a second position in which the CPM machine is inverted and located below the rotatable table. The system includes a fluid supply subsystem for directing an infusion fluid toward the CPM machine, a pump for circulating the infusion fluid in the fluid supply subsystem, a heat exchanger for heating the infusion fluid, a fluid collection tray located below the CPM machine and the rotatable table, and a pressure monitoring subsystem for monitoring a pressure level of the infusion fluid.
Percussive massage device
A percussion massager comprises a motor, a reciprocating assembly, a mallet, a power source, a housing, and a fixing frame. The motor, the reciprocating assembly and the power source are operably arranged in the housing. The motor comprises a main body and a first rotary shaft. Part of the mallet is not located in the housing. The first rotary shaft of the motor is operably mechanically connected with the reciprocating assembly. The reciprocating assembly is mechanically connected with the mallet. The fixing frame is installed in the housing. The main body of the motor and the reciprocating assembly are installed on the fixing frame. The main body of the motor and the reciprocating assembly are installed in the housing via the fixing frame only. When the motor is electrically connected with the power source, it rotates to drive the reciprocating assembly to reciprocate under the driving of the power source, thereby driving the mallet to make reciprocating linear motion for repeated striking.
Virtual scene interactive rehabilitation training robot based on lower limb connecting rod model and force sense information and control method thereof
A virtual scene interactive rehabilitation training robot based on a lower limb connecting rod model and force sense information and a control method thereof are disclosed. The thigh, calf and foot of a leg of a human body are equated to a three-connecting rod series-connected mechanical arm. A human body leg gravity compensation model is constructed. The leg posture of a patient is detected by Kinect. An interaction force between a limb of the patient and a rehabilitation robot is detected by a force sensor on the rehabilitation robot. Then, a progressive rehabilitation training method is designed for the model. According to a set weight reduction ratio, the motion of the rehabilitation robot is controlled by judging plantar force data.
