Techniques and devices for extending a piston and/or compression unit, for example connected to a medical device such as a mechanical CPR device, to accommodate different sized patients, are described herein. In some cases, a piston of a mechanical CPR device may include an inner piston at least partially slidable into an external piston sleeve. In one aspect, some aspects, the piston includes sleeves which can move relative to each other to extend the piston. In additional aspects, the compression mechanism may also extend downward toward the patient. In all aspects, the change in length of the piston may be detected and used to modify movement of the piston, for example to more safely perform mechanical CPR.

The present patent document relates to automatic equipment for performing orthopedic and physiotherapeutic procedures for passive motion of the knee joint (patellofemoral and tibiofemoral), incorporating three motion units: knee flexion and extension motion unit; internal and external rotation motion unit of the knee; and a multidirectional patellar mobilization unit (lower-upper and medial-lateral), an external support for multidirectional patellar mobilizer and a control unit. The flexion and extension motion unit is comprised of a mechanical and electronic structure on which the leg rests during use thereof and has at least two supports for supporting the leg located in the back region of the thigh and in the back region of the leg (calf); the internal and external rotation motion unit of the knee is comprised of a structure with a support for the leg and a support for the foot region (sole region) coupled to a knee flexion and extension motion unit; and the multidirectional patellar mobilization unit is comprised of a receptacle on which a retainer and an actuating element are disposed.

A motion assistance apparatus includes a proximal support configured to support a proximal part of a user, a power transmitting frame configured to rotate relative to the proximal support, a driving frame connected to the power transmitting frame and configured to enclose at least a portion of a distal part of the user, a reinforcement belt attached to a front surface of the driving frame, a rear belt connected to the driving frame or the reinforcement belt and configured to support a rear surface of the distal part of the user, and a front belt with a central portion spaced apart from the driving frame, the front belt provided between the driving frame and the rear belt and configured to support a front surface of the distal part of the user.

The present disclosure relates to a massage device capable of repositioning when a power failure occurs, comprising: an energy storage unit that stores electrical energy supplied from a power supply unit; an input unit that receives an input from a user when the electric energy supply is cut off from the power supply unit; a back angle actuator that receives, on the basis of the input unit, electric energy from the energy storage unit and moves a body massage unit such that the massage device is in an initial state; and a leg angle actuator that receives, on the basis of the input unit, electric energy from the energy storage unit and moves a leg massage unit such that the massage device is in an initial state.

A device for washing or treating the feet and lower legs of a user comprises an outer housing; a base assembly located in the outer housing; access means for providing access to a base assembly, a controller for controlling operation of the device, and a fluid supply mechanism. The base assembly includes a pair of footrests for supporting the feet and lower legs of a user during washing or treating, at least one rotatable transversely extending cleaning or treating assembly located above the footrest for washing or treating a user's feet; and a plurality of rotatable upright cleaning or treating assemblies for washing or treating the lower legs of the user. A ilting assembly is provided for tilting the base assembly relative to the outer housing through a plurality of inclined positions.

A rehabilitation apparatus for deep myofascial release and stretching includes an elevated frame, at least one support arm, a height adjustable mechanism, at least one pressure releasing attachment, a first handle, and a second handle. The pressure releasing attachment is rotatably attached to the support arm. The support arm is operatively coupled to the elevated frame, wherein the support arm enables the pressure releasing attachment to rotate above the ground surface. The height adjustable mechanism is operatively coupled to the elevated frame, wherein the height adjustable mechanism changes the operational height of the pressure releasing attachment. The first handle and the second handle are oppositely positioned of each other about the pressure releasing attachment as the first handle is mounted to the elevated frame, and the second handle is mounted to the elevated frame.

A medical device for assessing and/or rehabilitating a human joint of an extremity includes a joint brace comprising a first support for coupling to an upper part of the extremity, a second support for coupling to a lower part of the extremity, and a rotatable joint connecting the first and second supports, and a mechanical device coupled to the first and second supports, the mechanical device configured for moving one or more of the first and second supports so as to rotate about the joint. In another alternative the medical device can include sensors located for making angle measurements between the first and second supports and for recording movement data and a computing device for receiving and storing the angle measurements and the movement data and for transmitting said data via a radio transmitter.

The present invention relates to a foot-washing bowl system. The system may be comprised of a free-standing foot-washing stand and/or a toilet-mounted foot-washing stand. The free-standing foot-washing stand has a bowl that receives a water source to allow water to flow through the stand and out at least one opening of a cross-member to wash the feet of the user. The toilet-mounted embodiment features a stand identical to the free-standing stand that is further comprised of a toilet seat assembly that allows the system to attach and be used as a toilet seat.

The scratch panel is a wall-mounting panel to relieve itching in particularly difficult to reach locations, such as the back. It utilizes artificial turf and sand paper like textured surfaces upon which the body may be scratched. Since the panel is wall-mounted, no hands are necessary to relieve bothersome itches. The panel holds adjustable rollers that stretch the artificial turf and allow recycling of the surface. The adjustable rollers allow the user to use different parts of the turf and replace said turf when necessary. The disclosed device includes a scrollable abrasive material stretched across a first scroll and a second scroll wherein the scrolls each lock to fix the scrollable abrasive material in a fixed relation thereto. A holder receives the scrolls in a rotating relation and provides a grip for a user and defines mounting holes to a wall or a piece of furniture.
