Massage device
A massage device has a position adjustable handle along a handle slot that extends along a portion of the cane support. The cane support has a support extension portion, or the long substantially linear portion, an arc portion that extends from the support extension in an arc or cure and a head portion. The handle slot may extend a portion of the length of the cane support and along the support extension to the head portion. A vibration device is coupled to the head end of the cane support and may be decoupled from the cane support by a vibration dampening material that extends around the vibration device within a chamber. The vibration dampening material extend out to form a locking ring between the vibration assembly and the massage head. A user can comfortably hold the massage head against their body without excessive vibration in the cane support or handle.
DEVICES AND METHODS FOR COMPRESSING A DIGIT TO FACILITATE REMOVAL OF A RING
A compression device for freeing a ring trapped on a digit includes a rigid outer body. The rigid outer body includes a digit cavity extending from a cavity opening at a body proximal end of the body towards a body distal end of the body, a fluid inlet, and a fluid flow path fluidly connecting the fluid inlet to one or more inflation chambers positioned in the digit cavity. The body proximal end includes an upper portion, a lower portion, and two laterally spaced-apart side portions. At least one side portion is distally recessed as compared to the upper and lower portions to accommodate an interdigital fold. At least one flexible bladder lines the digit cavity, each flexible bladder defining at least one wall of one of the one or more inflation chambers.
ORTHOPEDIC DEVICE FOR AMBULATION ASSISTANCE AND SUITED FOR USE IN GAIT REHABILITATION OF THE TYPE INCLUDING MEANS FOR SPREADING THE THIGHS OF THE PATIENT APART
A gait rehabilitation device includes a stand equipped with casters spaced apart along the width and the length of the stand. Two movable arms forming a pedal crank, each arm comprising a first end rotatably mounted on the device about an axis parallel to the width of the stand. The wedging element to wedge the patient’s foot/leg is adjustable and lockable according to the width of the device. The thigh/leg spreader to adjustably space the patient’s thighs/legs on either side of the saddle support is configured to follow the alternating movement of the patient’s lower limbs. The position setting of the wedging element according to the width of the device is independent of the space setting of the thigh/leg spreader.
Ankle-less walking assistant apparatus and method for controlling the same
An ankle-less walking assistant apparatus includes: a body supporting the back of a wearer; left and right hip joint-drivers extending from both sides of the body; left and right thigh links having first ends connected to the left and right hip joint-drivers, respectively; left and right knee-drivers connected to second ends of the left and right thigh links, respectively; left and right calf links having first ends connected to the left and right knee-drivers, respectively; and ground-contact feet fixed to second ends of the left and right calf links, respectively.
Walker safety training device and method of use
The present invention provides a safety training device capable of being attached to an existing front-wheeled walker. The safety training device a modified ski unit, a braking mechanism, a brake cable and hose. When improper transfer techniques are utilized by a patient, the modified ski unit engages the brake and cable hose to exert a force to the braking mechanism. The braking mechanism activates a braking member on the wheel of the walker, halting further movement of the patient and walker. Simultaneously, a striking member of the braking mechanism makes contact with the frame of the walker, producing an audible cue, alerting the patient and any healthcare professionals present that improper technique is being used in a transfer.
SKIN CARE DEVICE
A vibrating skin care device comprises a handle, an elongate damper, a vibrating drive and a vibrating head with the vibrating head being connected to the vibrating drive via a friction fit, conical connection. The device may be used to exfoliate skin and/or reduce skin blemishes.
HEAD MASSAGER
A head massager includes a base component and a first massage component. The first massage assembly includes a plurality of first massage units, each first massage unit has a first connecting part and a first massage part, one end of the first connecting part is fixed to the side edge of the base assembly, and the other end of the first connecting part is connected to the first massage part. A first vibration source is encapsulated in each first massage part, and the plurality of first massage units are arranged in an annular array relative to a central axis of the base assembly. When a head is located among the first connecting parts, the first massage parts are attached to the head together. In the head massager proposed in the present application, each first massage part has an independent first vibration source for driving.
MASSAGE DEVICE FOR LEGREST OF VEHICLE SEAT
Disclosed is a massage device for a legrest of a vehicle seat in which a massage module capable of massaging the calves of a passenger by striking the same is installed so as to massage the calves of the passenger, thereby improving blood flow to the calves and significantly reducing the fatigue of the passenger.
WHOLE-BODY HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERFACE
A human-computer interface system having an exoskeleton including a plurality of structural members coupled to one another by at least one articulation configured to apply a force to a body segment of a user, the exoskeleton comprising a body-borne portion and a point-of-use portion; the body-borne portion configured to be operatively coupled to the point-of-use portion; and at least one locomotor module including at least one actuator configured to actuate the at least one articulation, the at least one actuator being in operative communication with the exoskeleton.
ANKLE-LESS WALKING ASSISTANT APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
An ankle-less walking assistant apparatus includes: a body supporting the back of a wearer; left and right hip joint-drivers extending from both sides of the body; left and right thigh links having first ends connected to the left and right hip joint-drivers, respectively; left and right knee-drivers connected to second ends of the left and right thigh links, respectively; left and right calf links having first ends connected to the left and right knee-drivers, respectively; and ground-contact feet fixed to second ends of the left and right calf links, respectively.
