A smart walking assistance device with a walker frame having generally vertical sides and an intersecting front. Wheels located at both ends of a bottom edge of the sides. A soft robotic sensing handle extends in a C shape along the upper edges of the sides and front. The sensing handle has multiple contiguous air filled chambers, each containing a pressure sensor for producing a pressure signal representing the pressure within the chamber. A microcontroller unit receives the pressure signals from the pressure sensors of the handle chambers and determines the status of at least one of the device and a user of the device based on the pressure signals. A stabilization mechanism is driven by the microcontroller so as to stabilize the walker in response to the determined status of at least one of the walker and the user.

A convertible, self-propelled, motorized mobility assistance device in a plurality of embodiments is provided, comprising a scooter-like chassis (1400) with support deck (300) portion, a handlebar (700), and at least one removable, interchangeable knee rest (800) or seat attachment (1300); wherein the device is mounted atop and driven by at least three motorized wheels (400, 500) which are connected to a source of power and propulsion (1200), and drive (1100). The device further includes a steering system, braking system, and mechanisms for height-adjustability, comfort, and portability.

The present invention relates generally to the field of joint cracking. More specifically, the present invention relates to a joint cracking device. The device is primarily comprised of a body further comprised of at least one vertical support, at least one cushion, at least one hinge, at least one semi-circular member, and a base. To use the device, a user steps onto the base and positions their body within the semi-circular member. The user then presses a button to inflate an inflatable cuff on the interior surface of the member such that the user is secured within the member. Then, the member is rotated upwards such that the back of the user is cracked on the cushion, which is preferably convex in shape. Then, the member is returned to its original position, wherein the user can then crouch downwards to exit the member.

A method and device for controlling a walking assist device is disclosed. The method includes determining a first state variable for a gait state of a user wearing the walking assist device based on a gait of the user, obtaining a second state variable which is smoothed and time-delayed from the first state variable, obtaining a third state variable by applying a torque control variable to the second state variable, and determining an assist torque to be provided by the walking assist device based on the obtained third state variable.

A spinal decompression system comprising an anchor portion and a working portion operatively coupled to the anchor portion. The anchor portion is adapted to anchor the spinal decompression system to a mechanical ground. The anchor portion comprises an anchor strap. The spinal decompression system comprises a pair of arm supports to support a user's arms in a raised position. The pair of arm supports are operatively coupled to the anchor strap to form a load path from the pair of arm supports to the anchor strap. A load cell is disposed in the load path to sense an applied load applied by the pair of arm supports. The pair of arm supports have an adjustable height to adjust the spinal decompression system to apply a desired load to the users arm to unload at least a portion of the user's bodyweight.

An exoskeleton system includes a cable, an exoskeleton device, a controller, and a motor. The exoskeleton device includes a frame comprising a first portion coupled to a second portion by a joint, a first crossbar supported by the first portion of the frame, and a second crossbar supported by the second portion of the frame. The first crossbar is configured to redirect the cable toward the second crossbar, and the cable is configured to affix to the second crossbar. The motor is connected to the cable and configured to cause the cable to provide a torque about the joint. The controller controls the motor to adjust the torque. The cable provides the torque by exerting a first force on the first crossbar and a second force on the second crossbar. The cable provides the torque about the joint in a first direction.

A balance training system includes a moving carriage moving on a moving surface by driving a driving unit, and calculates a load's center of gravity of the training person's feet on a boarding surface from the detected load. The system sets a stable range. The stable range is a range of the load's center. The training person is estimated to maintain upright on the boarding surface in the range. The system controls movement of the moving carriage in a mode selected between a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, the driving unit drives under drive control predicting that the calculated load's center shifts within a first range set inside the stable range. In in the second mode, the driving unit drives under drive control predicting that the calculated load's center shifts to a second range set outside the first range inside the stable range.

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 device for training and rehabilitation of a limb is provided. The device provides a board with a plurality of movement tracks to allow for controlled movement of the limb in various directions. Blockers and other controlling structures may be arranged on the device to limit range of motion of the movement of the limb.

Disclosed is an adjustable myofascial release device that includes a compression roller; a plurality of rods; and a plurality of releasing hinges. The rods are connected with the compression roller. The releasing hinges are adjusted by a user and adaptable to receive pressure from the user. Each of the releasing hinges is fixed at a distal end of the rods. The releasing hinges are attached to the compression roller and the rods by a plurality of locking mechanisms.
