MEDICAL VAST AND USING METHOD THEREOF
A medical vast and using method thereof. The medical vest has a clothe capable of surrounding the chest of a user's body, one or more vibration devices located in the clothe respectively and a motion sensor located in the clothe. Hence, when a user wears the medical vest and/or when the user actives one or more vibration devices to apply a net vibration force to the users' chest, the motion sensor may detect the user's real posture and/or both the vibration intensity and/or the vibration frequency of the vibration force applied to the user's chest. Accordingly, the user may adjust the vibration intensity and/or the vibration frequency of one or more vibration devices, also may adjust how the clothe is worn on the user's chest.
EXOSKELETON COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF AUTONOMOUSLY OPERABLE MODULES
An exoskeleton (1) having a plurality of autonomously operable modules (2.sub.RK, 2.sub.LK, 2.sub.RH, 2.sub.LH) each having a dedicated controller (23.sub.RK, 23.sub.LK, 23.sub.RH, 23.sub.LH) connected to an actuated joint. The exoskeleton (1) further having a multimaster electrical communicator (3) between the controllers (23.sub.RK, 23.sub.LK, 23.sub.RH, 23.sub.LH) of the modules (2.sub.RK, 2.sub.LK, 2.sub.RH, 2.sub.LH). The controller (23.sub.RK, 23.sub.LK, 23.sub.RH, 23.sub.LH) of each module (2.sub.RK, 2.sub.LK, 2.sub.RH, 2.sub.LH) is configured for: collecting information from sensors; sharing information with the remaining modules through the multimaster electrical communicator (3); determining which other modules (2.sub.RK, 2.sub.LK, 2.sub.RH, 2.sub.LH) are present; and autonomously calculating and commanding a desired trajectory of the actuated joint of the module (2.sub.RK, 2.sub.LK, 2.sub.RH, 2.sub.LH) for assisting the movement of the corresponding biological joint in coordination with the kinematic condition of other biological joints.
Virtual scene interactive rehabilitation training robot based on lower limb connecting rod model and force sense information and control method thereof
A virtual scene interactive rehabilitation training robot based on a lower limb connecting rod model and force sense information and a control method thereof are disclosed. The thigh, calf and foot of a leg of a human body are equated to a three-connecting rod series-connected mechanical arm. A human body leg gravity compensation model is constructed. The leg posture of a patient is detected by Kinect. An interaction force between a limb of the patient and a rehabilitation robot is detected by a force sensor on the rehabilitation robot. Then, a progressive rehabilitation training method is designed for the model. According to a set weight reduction ratio, the motion of the rehabilitation robot is controlled by judging plantar force data.
Systems and methods for treating nausea and vomiting
A wearable stimulator device can be used to treat nausea and vomiting resulting from pregnancy, gastroparesis, virtual reality use, motion sickness, chemotherapy, and post-surgical nausea and vomiting, or other conditions by stimulating the P6 point of a user's forearm. A method of treating nausea includes monitoring one or more physiological parameters of a user via a wearable device, for example a smartwatch. Based on the one or more physiological parameters, the P6 point of the user's forearm can be stimulated for a predetermined time, for example via vibrational stimulation effected via a smartwatch or other wearable device. Data regarding the user's physiological parameters, stimulation sessions, and user-provided input regarding treatment efficacy and user symptoms can be collected and analyzed at scale to develop improved treatment regimes, for example modifying stimulation waveforms and/or timing, and identifying physiological parameters useful for predicting the onset of nausea.
Balance training system and control program for balance training system
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.
