A stretching machine includes a table having a surface for supporting a patient and a first leg rest for supporting and moving a first leg of the patient. The first leg rest has a first vertical frame operable to rotate around a first horizontal pivot point at an end of the table and a first horizontal frame operable to rotate around a first vertical pivot point on the first vertical frame. A first vertical actuator is for rotating the first vertical frame around the first horizontal pivot point to move the first leg rest in a vertical direction relative to the surface of the table, and a first horizontal actuator is for rotating the first horizontal frame around the first vertical pivot point to move the first leg rest in a horizontal direction relative to the first vertical frame.

The present invention relates to the field of wearable robotic devices that physically interact with humans, and in particular refers to a wearable exoskeleton, in particular for the upper limb. The invention refers to an electro- or magneto-rheological fluid type semi-active joint purposely conceived to be used to make the exoskeleton. It comprises a first body and a second body, slidably coupled to each other, with a flow mode rotating configuration, which allows to have a fluid flow moved by a pressure gradient induced by the circular movement of a piston in a chamber, with constructive simplicity and decrease of wear.

Adjustable seating devices for use in a hot tub may include multiple panels that move relative to one another and/or relative to the hot tub frame to adjust between positions. In some embodiments, one or more panels of the adjustable seating device may include jets. The adjustable seating devices may be adjusted manually, hydraulically, air-actuated, or electronically.

A control system for a swimming pool or spa may detect a water level of the swimming pool or spa. The water level may be detected based on information from an APC, information from an environmental sensor, and/or information from an optical sensor. In various embodiments, the control system may determine or estimate a cause of water displacement based on the received information from the APC, environmental sensors, and/or optical sensors.

An inflatable penile prosthesis can include, a reservoir, an inflatable member and a pump assembly. The pump assembly can include at least one valve comprising an entry portion, a middle portion, an exit portion, and exit tube interface, and a valve member. The exit portion can include a first landing portion including an interior portion, the interior portion of the first landing portion being semicircular about a longitudinal exit axis, the longitudinal exit axis extending through a center of the exit portion parallel to a direction that an exit tube interface extends from the exit portion, and a first channel portion adjacent to the first landing portion and including an interior portion, the interior portion of the first channel portion being farther from the longitudinal exit axis than the interior portion of the first landing portion.

The present invention relates to a massage device for a vehicle seat including: a linear sequence of inflatable massage cells which may be arranged in succession below a of the vehicle seat, supply lines and venting lines to and from the massage cells, a compressed air pump connected to the supply lines, a valve arrangement for the selective supply of massage cells with compressed air and for the selective venting of massage cells and a control unit controlling the compressed air pump and the valve arrangement, and that the massage cells are designed such that in the inflated state they are wedge-shaped in cross section in a plane parallel to the longitudinal direction of the linear sequence of the massage cells, wherein the wedge shape of all of the massage cells in the linear sequence is oriented in the same direction.

Active comfort controlled bedding systems include a variable firmness control and/or variable climate control. The active comfort controlled bedding systems generally include a plurality of air bladders, each one of the plurality of air bladders includes a pressure sensor configured to measure pressure within a respective air bladder. A control unit configured to selectively operate a pump and valves to sequentially adjust a pressure in two or more of the plurality of air bladders having an applied load of an end user thereon to provide a repeating pattern within the two or more plurality of air bladders, wherein the repeating pattern is defined by a pressure increase and subsequent decrease in a selected one of the plurality of air bladders followed a pressure increase and subsequent decrease in a selected other one of the plurality of air bladders to provide a massaging action.

A walker device for lifting and supporting a body of a person is provided. The walker device includes a structure having a first side member and a second side member, the first side member and the second side member are configured to be disposed on a vertical surface and extend upwards, and a top member coupling the first and second side member to one another at a top portion thereof, such that at least a bottom portion of the first side member is disposed at distance from a bottom portion of the second side member. The walker device further includes a lift coupled to the top portion and having a gripping member disposed between the first and second side members and configured to be displaced up and down by the lift.

A wearable exoskin (100), which generates energy by an external force of a user applied to the exoskin (100) and utilizes that a energy to support the movement of the user, comprises at least one fluid circuit (30), at least one interface (10) which is fluidly connected to the at least one fluid circuit (30) and at least one actuator (20) which is fluidly connected to the at least one fluid circuit (30). The at least one fluid circuit (30) comprises a displaceable fluid (40). The fluid actuator (20) is changeable in volume and switches from a first state (with a first volume) to a second state (with a second volume), which is different from the first state, in reaction to the flow of the displaceable fluid (40). The displacement of the fluid (40) is caused by an interaction of the user with the at least one interface (10), such as the application of an external force. The exoskin (100) can be used in a compression garment, such as used on a lower limb.

An inflatable penile prosthesis can include, a reservoir, an inflatable member and a pump assembly. The pump assembly can include at least one valve comprising an entry portion, a middle portion, an exit portion, and exit tube interface, and a valve member. The exit portion can include a first landing portion including an interior portion, the interior portion of the first landing portion being semicircular about a longitudinal exit axis, the longitudinal exit axis extending through a center of the exit portion parallel to a direction that an exit tube interface extends from the exit portion, and a first channel portion adjacent to the first landing portion and including an interior portion, the interior portion of the first channel portion being farther from the longitudinal exit axis than the interior portion of the first landing portion.
