A massage machine includes a display unit or a voice output unit and a control unit that controls functions of the massage machine. The control unit includes control modes in which the functions assigned to each of the control modes are at least partially different from each other. The control modes include a full function control mode in which all or almost all of the functions are assigned, and a function limitation control mode in which the functions are at least partially limited. When the massage machine is in a predetermined state, the control unit proceeds to the function limitation control mode. In the function limitation control mode, the control unit causes the display unit to display information relating to the massage machine, or causes the voice output unit to output the information by using a voice. The information is receivable from a service provider.

Provided is a massage system for a massage facility in which a robot arm is provided and a massage is performed with respect to a user by the robot arm, the system including a control unit configured to cause the robot arm to perform a massage operation in response to a program, and a setting unit configured to receive a setting operation of a setting position used for the massage operation from an operator, in which the control unit is configured to cause the robot arm to perform the massage operation with respect to a treatment position based on the setting position.

A leg locomotion device includes a frame having a leg coupler configured to mount the frame to a user's leg, the frame also includes two frame components movable relative to one another in response to movement of the user's leg, an energy harvesting device coupled to the frame and configured to harvest energy from the movement of the two frame components during a first portion of a stride, an energy storage device coupled to the energy harvesting device, the energy storage device configured to store harvested energy over more than one stride, and an assist device coupled to the frame, coupled to the energy storage device to receive energy therefrom, and configured to move the frame components relative to one another to selectively assist with movement of the user's leg during a second portion of the stride.

A cushion promotes healthy blood flow within the body when the patient is sitting/lying down. A pressure controlling support automatically balances user weight, detects application of user weight, or otherwise detects when the user is at-risk for pressure sores. Pressure is dynamically redistributed by inflation/deflation of individual bladders, rebalancing user support. The cushion prevents the user from applying their weight to impede their blood flow at an at-risk location or from cramping their musculature. The cushion also massages the user's musculature, by moving a pressure difference about selected bladders, promoting blood flow and reducing seating fatigue. The cushion detects changes in pressure at each bladder, to detect/predict user fidgeting/movement and adjust pressure in response thereto, to support the user's new position.

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.
