An upper limb training system adapted to an upper limb of a user includes a main body and a control unit. The main body includes a training unit and a plurality of motors. The training unit is connected to the upper limb. The plurality of motors are coupled to the training unit. The control unit is electrically connected to the training unit and the plurality of motors and calculates a plurality of torque intervals respectively corresponding to the plurality of motors according to torques generated by each of the plurality of motors. Besides, a control method adapted to the upper limb training system is also provided.

A medical device system is disclosed that includes a wearable harness worn, during use, on a torso of a subject. Engines coupled to the wearable harness may apply an oscillation force to at least one treatment area of the subject in order to mobilize at least some secretions in an airway within the subject substantially adjacent to the at least one treatment area. The wearable harness may be secured on the subject using one or more straps coupled to the wearable harness. A controller may determine a tension force applied by at least one of the straps by receiving, measurements of at least one property from a force sensing element (e.g., a force sensor) integrated with the strap. The tension force may also be correlated to forces being applied to the subject by the engines.

Splints for diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes are disclosed. In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a splint system for diagnostic and/or therapeutic functions for a patient with a vascular impairment. In one embodiment, the splint system includes a splint having: a leg supporting portion and a foot supporting portion, that are configured to support and secure the leg and foot of the patient; a locally and/or remotely controllable portion for setting a dorsiflexion angle of the foot of the patient, including electrical and/or mechanical controls and one or more actuators for setting of the dorsiflexion angle, for providing treatment to improve vascular function; and a plurality of physiological parameter sensors for measuring physiological parameters of the leg and/or foot of the patient, wherein the physiological parameters are associated with vascular function in the leg and/or foot of the patient.

The physical therapy device is a therapeutic device. The physical therapy device is adapted for use with a patient. The physical therapy device massages a leg of the patient. The physical therapy device comprises a base, a plurality of telescopic stanchions, and a massaging structure. The massaging structure and the base attach to the plurality of telescopic stanchions. The plurality of telescopic structures elevate the massaging structure above a supporting surface. The massaging structure rotates such that the rotation of the massaging structure massages the leg of the patient. The base is a pedestal that forms the final link in the load path between the massaging structure and a supporting surface.

An attachment to a mobility aid, such as a walker, wheeled walker or rollator, or wheelchair that automatically positions a slip resistant surface under the foot of the user. Cleats or a cleat head with retractable cleats are attached to the slip resistant surface. The distance the slip resistant surface is from the mobility aid is adjustable to suit the user. A retractable slip resistant surface attachment is removably attached to sides of the mobility aid. A sliding channel bracket is slidably attached to an attachment panel permitting the sliding channel bracket to be adjusted longitudinally. A slip resist surface is moved freely back and forth with a retraction mechanism. Adjustable, secure footing is obtained on wet or slippery surfaces preventing falls.

A device for alleviating dyspareunia comprises a pliable body filled with a resilient and soft material, such as, medical grade silicone, for example. The body, which can be a rounded shape, including ovoid or annular, can be configured to act as a buffer or shock absorber for the upper vagina and cervix during intercourse. The resilient nature of the pliable body allows forces to be displaced laterally instead of cephalad, to thereby help alleviate pain by relieving pressure on the cervix, cardinal and uterosacral ligaments, vaginal apex, etc.

A microdermabrasion system offers a combination of other skin therapies in conjunction with microdermabrasion. In an implementation, the system applies light therapy, photodynamic therapy, radio frequency and microwave energy therapy, massage therapy, or combinations of these while exfoliating the skin.

A system includes a guidance device that provides feedback to a user to compress a patient's chest at a rate of between about 90 and 110 compressions per minute and at a depth of between about 4.5 centimeters to about 6 centimeters. The system includes a pressure regulation system having a pressure-responsive valve that is configured to be coupled to a patient's airway. The pressure-responsive valve is configured to remain closed during successive chest compressions in order to permit removal at least about 200 ml from the lungs in order to lower intracranial pressure to improve survival with favorable neurological function. The pressure-responsive valve is configured to remain closed until the negative pressure within the patient's airway reaches about −7 cm H.sub.2O, at which time the pressure-responsive valve is configured to open to provide respiratory gases to flow to the lungs through the pressure-responsive valve.

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.

An apparatus 1 to aid walking, the apparatus 1 comprising a base unit 3, housing a motor; and further comprising first and second horizontally orientated foot supports 6,7, mounted for back and forth parallel motion relative to the base unit 3; the foot supports 6,7 each being operably connected to the motor; a foot support comprising a plurality of planar members 5, including a base plate 41, an intermediate plate 44 and a foot plate 45 having an upper surface to receive a user's foot, the intermediate plate 44 being pivotally linked at a first end to the base plate 41 and at a second end to the foot plate.
