FINGER JOINT REHABILITATION TRAINING DEVICE
The present disclosure provides a finger joint rehabilitation training device, which includes a control member, a data acquisition member, a gas circuit system, and a wearable training member. The wearable training member is provided with a pneumatic component that can expand and contract. The data acquisition member is configured for acquiring hand motion information of a first hand and transmitting the hand motion information to the control member. The hand motion information includes hand pressing information. The control member controls the gas circuit system to inflate the pneumatic component or to draw air from the pneumatic component according to the hand motion information, to make the wearable training member change between a flexion condition and a stretching condition, so as to realize a hand mirror training of a second hand. The hand pressing information is simple and convenient to acquire, which is convenient for the first hand to realize the flexion condition and the stretching condition, and the condition of the second hand is adjusted through the condition of the first hand, so that the wearable training member can be better adjusted, different hand training intensity requirements are met, and a better training effect is achieved.
CONTROL OF SEXUAL STIMULATION DEVICES USING ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY
A system and method for thought-based control of sexual stimulation devices using electroencephalography. The system and method involve a training phase and an operation phase. In an embodiment, the training phase comprises placing electrodes on the head of a person, measuring electrical signals produced by the person's brain via the electrodes while the user engages in one or more thought-based training tasks, associating patterns of electrical activity in the person's brain while performing the tasks with controls of the sexual stimulation device. In an embodiment, the operation phase comprises generating control signals for the sexual stimulation device based on the associations when the patterns of electrical activity are detected by the electrodes. In some embodiments, machine learning algorithms are used to detect the patterns of electrical activity and make the associations. In some embodiments, data from other biometric sensors is included in the associations.
ENHANCED PROPHYLACTICS FOR VACUUM THERAPY
An improved condom-style vacuum therapy device has a region of the sheath formed of an air-permeable material that is covered by an air-impermeable barrier so as to define a lumen therebetween. A conduit defining an airflow pathway is located in fluid communication with the lumen, and is connected to a vacuum source in order to draw air out of the interior of the condom-style device through the air-permeable region. When the condom-style device is worn over the penis, a sealing element proximate to the open end serves to at least partially restrict the intrusion of ambient air into the condom. As a result, the air pressure within the sheath of the condom is reduced to below ambient air pressure, serving to prevent or treat actual or potential erectile disfunction and/or to enhance sexual performance, while also providing the prophylactic and/or contraceptive benefits associated with condom use.
MASSAGE UNIT AND MASSAGE MACHINE HAVING MASSAGE UNIT
A massage unit includes a treatment member; an arm that supports the treatment member; a drive shaft that supports the arm and causes the treatment member to approach and be separated with respect to a treatment target site; a movable portion that causes the treatment member to be operable in a direction of being separated from the treatment target site when the treatment member comes into contact with the treatment target site by a force equal to or greater than predetermined strength; and biasing means for biasing the treatment member in an approaching direction.
A DEVICE FOR PASSIVE EXERCISING OF A HUMAN LEG
The present disclosure relates to the field of exercising equipment. A device (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600) disclosed in the present disclosure increases the reverse blood flow rate, i.e., flow rate of blood from legs towards heart. The device (100, 200 300, 400, 500, 600) includes a pedal (125, 220, 330, 420, 520, 630) configured to support a foot of a leg thereon. The device (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600) includes a drive mechanism (140, 250, 350, 530) to oscillate the pedal (125, 220, 330, 420, 520), thereby rocking the foot about the axis of the ankle joint to cause natural movement of the foot as during walking.

The first portion includes a first free port to fluidly couple the first chamber with the pump, a first connection port to fluidly couple the first chamber with the main valve device, a second connection port to fluidly couple the first chamber with an outside of the distribution valve device, and a first valve switch. The second portion includes a second free port to fluidly couple the second chamber with the pump, a third connection port to fluidly couple the second chamber with the main valve device, a fourth connection port to fluidly couple the second chamber with the outside, and a second valve switch.
System for Adjusting Pressure Locally on the Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue
The invention relates to a system for adjusting pressure locally acting on the skin. Said system includes a set of adjacent modules distributed so as to form a layer. Each module includes a cushion capable of changing shape and comprising a cavity, a valve, a tank, and a pressure sensor, wherein the cavity and the tank are in communication with each other by means of the valve, and the sensor is placed so as to sense pressure directly or indirectly acting on the cushion. The system also includes a feedback loop arranged such as to increase or decrease the change in the shape of the cushion on the basis of the pressure detected by the sensor. The system according to the invention can be built into a shoe so as to re-establish normal plantar pressure under the entire sole of the foot, which is particularly desirable for athletes or for patients suffering from diabetes mellitus or leprosy. It is also possible to incorporate the system according to the invention into a (bed or wheelchair) mattress so as to prevent decubitus ulcers in patients with neurological diseases (hemiplegia, paraplegia, tetraplegia, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and any other sensory and/or motor deficit diseases.
