20240325233 · 2024-10-03 ·

A therapeutic device and method for using the same. The therapeutic device has a supportive body and a pressure applicator extending from the body that is configured to apply pressure to suboccipital muscles of a patient. The pressure applicator may be altered to adjust a position and points through which to apply pressure to the suboccipital muscles. The body may be positioned at an angle relative to the patient's neck and the pressure applicator is applied to the suboccipital muscles. The pressure can be applied for a duration of time to relieve and/or prevent headaches and migraines in patients.

WALKING SUPPORT ROBOT AND WALKING SUPPORT SYSTEM

A walking support robot is presented by the present disclosure. The walking support robot moves in accordance with a handle load while guiding a user to walk along a walking route. The walking support robot includes a body, a handle on the body, a sensor that senses a load applied to the handle, and a moving device that moves the walking support robot by controlling rotation of a rotating member in accordance with the load. Guide information is generated for guiding the user to walk along the walking route. Presented information is presented for guiding the user based on the guide information. A physical task is set by adjusting complexity of the walking route. A degree to which the user follows the walking route is calculated, and the physical task is adjusted based on the degree.

EXOSKELETON

A method for setting desired trajectories of movement of an exoskeleton for enabling movement in a user with a musculoskeletal disorder, a device for assisting walking in a user and a method for controlling said device enable walking in predetermined modes of movement in a user with limited mobility or complete immobility of the lower limbs but normal functioning of the upper limbs and upper part of the body. The invention enables such users to move with a gait pattern similar to the gait pattern of a person without a musculoskeletal disorder, while also providing the user with the possibility of independently changing movement mode and gait parameters, such as stride length, step height and pace, using a control panel 32. The invention comprises a part worn by the user, which includes a motorized lower limb exoskeleton 1 equipped with a control device 35, embodied in an on-board controller 85 of the exoskeleton 1, and a non-worn part, which includes an external computer 86 for a specialized assistant and a system 43 for determining the parameters of desired trajectories of movement of the exoskeleton 1 in a Cartesian coordinate system. Control signals for the exoskeleton 1 actuators are generated taking into consideration the mass and inertial properties of body segments of the user and of elements of the exoskeleton 1, as well as requirements regarding the quality of control. 3 independent claims and 6 dependent claims, 9 drawings
