The exosuit may include on-board computing equipment that can sense, compute control commands in real-time, and actuate limbs and airbags to restore stability (fall prevention) and minimize injuries due to falls, should they happen (fall protection).

The present invention relates to a type of medical instrument, in particular a fifth generation FSN needle, being a special tool for Fu's subcutaneous needling (FSN), comprising a needle handle, a needle core, a soft casing pipe and its handle, and a protective sleeve. The needle core is fixed on top part of the needle handle and consists of a needle core body and a needle core tip. On top part of the needle handle, a round-hole-type groove is provided. On this groove, a positioning notch is provided, including first longitudinal position point, and inlet and second longitudinal position point at two sides of the first longitudinal position point. The soft casing pipe handle is a round tube that can be inserted into said groove. On the soft casing pipe handle, a first bulge and second bulges are provided: the first bulge is used to fix the soft casing pipe and its handle; the second bulges are used to prompt sweep position.

An automated chest compression device for performing CPR, with distance sensors disposed on a compressing mechanism and on a structure fixed relative to the CPR patient, for determining inferior/superior movement of the compressing mechanism over the course of multiple compressions.

Described herein are various embodiments of differential air pressure systems and methods of using and calibration such systems for individuals with impaired mobility. The differential air pressure systems may include an access assist device configured to help a mobility impaired user to stand in a pressure chamber configured to apply a positive pressure on a portion of the user's body in the sealed pressure chamber. The system may also include load sensors configured to measure the user's weight exerted inside and outside the chamber. The system may be calibrated by determining a relationship between the actual weight of the user and the pressure in the chamber, where the actual weight of the user may be measured by more than one load sensor and at least one load sensor is not in the pressure chamber.

An apparatus includes a first wire and a second wire which are coupled to a right upper ankle belt and a right lower ankle belt, a third wire and a fourth wire which are coupled to a left upper ankle belt and a left lower ankle belt, an obtainer obtaining user information about a user and information about walking action of the user, and a controller controlling tensions of the first wire and the second wire at the same time and controlling tensions of the third wire and the fourth wire at the same time using a first stiffness target value corresponding to the first wire, a second stiffness target value corresponding to the second wire, a third stiffness target value corresponding to the third wire, and a fourth stiffness target value corresponding to the fourth wire that are determined based on the user information and the walk information.

A finger exoskeleton robot includes a support plate, at least one finger mechanism, and a temperature control system. Each of the finger mechanisms includes a plurality of finger sleeves and joint drivers. The sleeves of the finger mechanism are sequentially arranged at a distance and configured to be correspondingly worn on a plurality of knuckles of the user's fingers. Every two finger sleeves adjacent to each other of the finger mechanism are connected by one joint driver. The support plate and one of the finger sleeves closest to the support plate are connected by one joint driver. The joint driver is switched between a flat state and a curved state when the temperature of the joint drivers is higher than or lower than a phase change temperature value. A temperature control system is electrically connected to the respective joint drives and respectively controls the temperature of the joint drivers.

Systems, devices, and techniques for controlling a compression unit associated with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are described herein. For example, a medical system may include a compression unit configured to apply pressure to a torso region of a patient. The compression unit may be configured to move within space according to at least one degree of freedom. The medical system may further include processing circuitry configured to receive one or more sets of data representative of one or more patient parameters of the patient. Additionally, the medical system may generate, using a deep learning model, an output data set representing a predicted trajectory of at least one patient parameter of the one or more patient parameters, determine a set of control parameters, and control the compression unit to apply the pressure to the torso region of the patient.

Described here are devices, systems, and methods for treating one or more conditions (such as dry eye) or improving ocular health by providing stimulation to nasal or sinus tissue. Generally, the devices may be handheld or implantable. In some variations, the handheld devices may have a stimulator body and a stimulator probe having one or more nasal insertion prongs. When the devices and systems are used to treat dry eye, nasal or sinus tissue may be stimulated to increase tear production, reduce the symptoms of dry eye, and/or improve ocular surface health.

A system for supporting and manipulating a leg of a patient, the system including a base configured to be releasably secured to the ground, a first elongate guide rail coupled to the base, wherein the first elongate guide rail has a longitudinal axis, a boot moveably coupled to the first elongate guide rail, wherein the boot is configured to receive and retain at least a portion of a foot of the patient, a drape hanger assembly coupled to the base and configured to support a drape, wherein the drape hanger assembly includes a pair of drape hangers oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first elongate guide rail, wherein the pair of drape hangers are disposed on opposite sides of the first elongate guide rail in top view, and a drape attached to each drape hanger and positioned between the boot and the first elongate guide rail.

A skin treatment head for use in a body care device for treating a skin, the body care device comprising a housing and a skin treatment head associated with the housing, wherein the housing further comprises an actuator configured to at least partly rotate the skin treatment head about an axis (A), wherein the skin treatment head comprises a plurality of bristles defining a virtual edge face circumferentially surrounding the plurality of bristles and a virtual top face defining a first height (h1) of the bristles relative to a skin treatment head surface of the skin treatment head, wherein the skin treatment head further comprises a plurality of rotatable elements, wherein each rotatable element is configured to rotate when a force in a tangential direction is applied to a rotatable element surface of the rotatable element, wherein the rotatable element surfaces are configured lower than the top face and wherein in certain embodiments the rotatable element surfaces at least partly extend beyond the edge face.
