A motion assistance apparatus includes a force transmitting frame configured to support a distal part of a user, a slider configured to slide in the force transmitting frame, and a driving frame connected to the slider and configured to slide with respect to a proximal part of the user.

A leg care apparatus includes a main body configured to provide an action space in which a leg is accommodated, a bottom module which is placed on a bottom surface of the main body and in which a component for a foot bath is accommodated, and an action space adjustment module configured to adjust a size of the action space.

An item of clothing is adapted to be worn against the skin, and having at least one panel adapted to provide targeted compression of at least 20% of the total length of a specific surface vein in the body, or adapted to provide targeted compression of at least 20% of a specific plexus of veins, a specific lymphatic plexus, drainage plexus or a collection of lymphatic vessels. The clothing is useful in a method of reducing recovery time in a human or other mammal, after a period of activity and in a method of enhancing performance, in particular sports performance, in a human or other mammal. It may also improve the conditioning of the skin and aid lymphatic drainage, and can be used in the treatment of certain medical conditions.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to methods of inducing therapeutic adipose tissue inflammation using high frequency pressure waves (e.g. high frequency shockwaves) wherein the inflammation results in a reduction in the volume of subcutaneous adipose tissue. Embodiments include applying electrohydraulic generated shockwaves at a rate of between 10 Hz and 1000 Hz to reduce the appearance of cellulite or the volume of subcutaneous fat in a treatment area.

A method for stimulating contraction of a target muscle, the method including: locating a first neuromuscular junction of a target muscle by visualization or palpation, delivering a first stimulus to the first neuromuscular junction, locating a second neuromuscular junction of the target muscle by visualization or palpation, and delivering a second stimulus to the second neuromuscular junction. The first and second stimuli are effective to stimulate contraction of the target muscle. Further, contraction of the target muscle is effective to result in a measurable increase of at least one of: output force of the target muscle or range of motion of a body part associated with extension or contraction of the target muscle.

A rotatable leg massage device has a base and a swinging arm. The base has two opposing assembling posts at one end and a limiting baffle behind and between the two assembling posts. The swinging arm has a massaging end and a swinging end, the massaging end is provided with a respective massaging roller on two sides, a first motor is configured to rotate the two massaging rollers, the swinging end is disposed between the two assembling posts of the base, a second motor is disposed between the swinging end and the two assembling posts and configured to drive the swinging arm to rotate around the base.

A walking assistance device deformable based on a thigh shape includes a hip joint actuator, an upper thigh frame connected to the hip joint actuator and configured to receive power from the hip joint actuator and rotate about a first axis and rotate about a second axis intersecting the first axis, a motion frame connected to the upper thigh frame, the motion frame including a plurality of segment frames configured to rotate relative to each other, and a lower thigh frame connected to the motion frame.

A mobility assistance device and a driving method thereof are provided. The mobility assistance device includes at least one bracket and a driving device which drives the at least one bracket. The driving device includes a brushless direct current (DC) motor, a rotor angle sensor, and a sensing driver. The rotor angle sensor senses the angle of the brushless DC motor. The sensing driver uses a corresponding algorithm to estimate a corresponding angle corresponding to an angle velocity switching of the brushless DC motor. The corresponding angle is used as an angle of the brushless DC motor. The sensing driver drives the brushless DC motor according to the corresponding angle, so that the brushless DC motor provides supporting force to the at least one bracket.

The present soft tissue mobilization device has a quick-release bar clamp and various attachments for its jaws that exert pressure on soft tissue to improve mobility. The bar clamp allows for applying sustained and incremental pressure at various angles. The shape of the attachment surfaces that contact the soft tissue are either complementary toward each other, when they are intended to squeeze the targeted soft tissue between them, or to the body structure against which they are intended to press. Combining a more helpful means of generating and exerting pressure with the right surface contours significantly improves the overall effectiveness of the device, diminishes any associated pain and discomfort, and reduces the time necessary to achieve results.

The present disclosure is directed to an autonomous exoskeleton device that includes one or more actuators, one or more controllers, one or more sensors with one or more unidirectional transmissions. The control system includes an exoskeleton member configured and arranged on a limb of a user; a control device, a control device connected to the at least one exoskeleton member; an actuator mechanically connected to the limb of the user; and a sensor configured and arranged to sense a global angle of the exoskeleton device relative to the ground. The control device is configured and arranged to use the global angle to control the exoskeleton member.
