A foot mat is a mat for placing on the bottom of a bathtub or shower to prevent the user slipping and falling, and having a second and third function of vibrating to provide foot massage automatically when the user stands on the mat, and an abrasive edge such as a loofah sponge for exfoliating the contactable surfaces of the feet.

The present disclosure discloses a smart walker including a walker body, a first support member, a first sensing device, a second support member and a control device. The walker body includes a fixing member. The first support member and the second support member are connected to both ends of the fixing member, and each of the support members includes a handle, a front leg, and a rear leg. The first sensing device is disposed on a central leg to sense a surrounding environment, thereby obtaining a sensing signal. The control device includes a processor connected to the first sensing device and receives the sensing signal to determine whether an obstacle is present around the smart walker by judging the image.

Devices and methods for tissue treatment produce a mechanical stimulation therapy and electromagnetic field therapy. The mechanical stimulation therapy provides stimulation of blood circulation and stimulates treated cells. The electromagnetic field enables thermal treatment of tissue. Combination of both therapies improves soft tissue treatment, mainly connective tissue in the skin area and fat reduction.

A mobility device positionable between a powered transport position and a powered wheelchair position is provided. The mobility device includes a frame including a pair of side rails, a pair of wheels on each side rail, a distance between each wheel on a corresponding side rail defining a length of the mobility device, a pair of arms coupled to an end of the pair of side rails, and a seat member positioned between the pair of arms. A pair of foot plates is pivotally attached to the pair of side rails and rotatable between an unfolded position in which the foot plate is horizontal and a folded position in which the foot plate is vertical. Each foot plate having a length at least substantially equal to the length of the mobility device.

A multi-purpose apparatus for treating an animal. The apparatus includes at least two vibrators; a massage head coupled with the at least two vibrators; a controller configured to control the at least two vibrators such that they generate a variable beat frequency to the massage head; and a housing accommodating the at least two vibrators, the massage head, and the controller. The massage head comprises a concave curvature to follow contours of the animal so that the concave curvature becomes in contact with a musculoskeletal system of the animal, the massage head is coupled with the at least two vibrators so that two vibrators are positioned at opposite ends of the concave curvature. The massage head is adapted and dimensioned such that an interchangeable curry brush curved to follow the contours of the animal is coupleable with the massage head.

A method for providing vestibular stimulation includes: providing an infant in a vestibular stimulation device; associating sensors to the infant; moving the vestibular stimulation device to provide vestibular stimulation treatment; and obtaining sensor data during the treatment. The vestibular stimulation device includes a holder member; a platform; a mechanical system coupling the holder member to the platform; sensors configured to detect one or more parameters of the infant; and a computing system having a user input and/or output interface operably coupled to the mechanical system and the sensors to provide mechanical data to the mechanical system in order to control movement of the holder member relative to the platform and to collect the one or more parameters of the living subject from the sensors.

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.

A key with extending wings. The with at least one wing that open when the key is not properly installed and the at least one wing retract into the body of the key when the key has been properly inserted regardless of the viewing angle of the key. The key identifies improper insertion and include a spring-loaded pin and inner shaft that engages into aligned locating holes in an inversion bench. In addition to the visual appearance, a blind user can feel the sides to the key to determine if the key has been properly inserted into the inversion bench.

A body massage device which includes a handpiece with movable heads (2) for applying force on the body of a patient and a massage arm connected to the movable heads (2). A motor (4) mechanically coupled to the movable heads (2) for conveying motion thereto. Measurement device having a temperature sensor (8), a vertical force sensor (15), and a torque sensor (14) for measuring the resistance to rotation of the movable heads (2). An electromagnetic radiation generator (12) for generating it at a determined frequency and intensity. A power supply (11) that provides power to the electromagnetic radiation generator (12) and to the handpiece. The movable heads (2) apply electromagnetic radiation on the patient. A processing unit (13) receives measurement information and estimates the effective depth of the treatment, determining in real time if the applied force is appropriate.

A soft-inflatable exosuit for knee rehabilitation is fabricated in two different beam-like structures (I and O cross-section actuators) and mechanically characterized for their torque performance in knee-extension assistance. The fabrication procedure of both types of actuators is presented as well as their integration into a light-weight, low-cost and body-conforming interface. To detect the activation duration of the device during the gait cycle, a soft-silicone insole with embedded force-sensitive resistors (FSRs) is used. In evaluation studies, the soft inflatable exosuit device is tested for its ability to reduce muscle activity during the swing phase of the knee. Using sEMG (surface electromyography) sensors, the rectus femoris muscle group of a healthy individual is recorded while walking on a treadmill at a constant speed, with and without the soft device.
