Walking training apparatus and method of controlling the same
A walking training apparatus includes: a treadmill; a walking assistance apparatus configured to be mounted on a leg part of a user and assist the user's walking; a first pulling means for pulling at least one of the walking assistance apparatus and the leg part of the user upward and frontward; a second pulling means for pulling at least one of the walking assistance apparatus and the leg part of the user upward and rearward; and control means for controlling, while the treadmill is not being operated, pulling forces of the first pulling means and the second pulling means in such a way that the direction of a resultant pulling force, which is a resultant force of the pulling force of the first pulling means and the pulling force of the second pulling means, is changed rearward compared to a case in which the treadmill is being operated.
Spine regularity rotation motion device
A spine regularity rotation motion device includes a T-shaped hanger, a neck traction belt, an n-shaped base, and a horizontal rotary drive platform, wherein the T-shaped hanger is connected to the neck traction belt via a pulling belt at one end, and is connected to the n-shaped base through a main elevating post at another end. A user can rest his face on the neck traction belt, which is gently pulled upwards to increase the space between the cervical joints and align the spine to the center. The horizontal rotary drive platform is provided inside the n-shaped base with a correction seat on the top for the user to sit on. The seat allows the hip of the user to move in a regularity rotation manner that is opposite to the directions of the twisted and/or bent lumbar spine or skewed pelvis. An underarm support is also provided to raise the spine and reduce stacking to facilitate the rehabilitation process.
EXERCISE EQUIPMENT
An exercise apparatus may include a first horizontal bar, a second horizontal bar, a titled body supporting unit, a supporting assembly and an adjusting unit. In one embodiment, both the first horizontal bar and second horizontal bar are located at a rear portion of the exercise equipment, so the user can fully extend his arms and stretch the back muscle and cervical spine when grasping the horizontal bar. The adjusting unit is used to adjust the titled angle of the titled body supporting unit. The user can hold either the first or second horizontal bar and lay the body on top of the titled body supporting unit, such that the titled body supporting unit can sustain a substantial portion of the user's weight to enable the user to lift the body with the arms holding on the horizontal bar, even though the user is elder or overweight.
Portable multi-functional upright body stretching apparatus
An apparatus for stretching comprises a body holder for connecting to a support device. The body holder includes a body support panel for receiving an upper portion of a torso of a user, a left arm holder for receiving a left arm, and a right arm holder for receiving a right arm, and a body holder closing device. The left arm holder and the right arm holder are pivotally connected to the body support panel. The body support panel can have a curved surface to approximate a part of the torso. The left arm holder can have a flat or curved surface to approximate a left side of the torso and at least a portion of left arm. The right arm holder can have a flat or curved surface to approximate at least a right side of the torso and at least a portion of right arm.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PHYSICALLY SUPPORTING USERS DURING EXERCISE WHILE ENHANCED OXYGEN TREATMENT
User access to exercise with oxygen therapy (EWOT), therapy progress data, and user profile/record integration can be enabled via portable and wearable computing devices in use at treatment facilities is described. Embodiments leverage the field of wireless communications can access facility-based transponders, user authentication, data access, and data tracking. The invention enables access to oxygen therapy during exercise at various facilities by authorizing user access, tracking usage, providing access to user profiles/records, recording user progress, providing notification to providers of subsequent user treatment, and user record management based on proximity of a provider to a user during treatment. A safety harness system can include a circular padded rail to encircle the waist/torso of a user underneath the user's arms; hydraulically controlled legs can enable manipulation/movement under hydraulic control when the padded rail is secured to the user and while the user is moving on exercise equipment.
ELECTROMECHANICAL ROBOTIC MANIPULANDUM DEVICE
An electromechanical manipulandum device, comprising: a drive system comprising a plurality of electrical motors; an arm driveable by the drive system and having three degrees-of-freedom of motion; a capstan transmission for transmitting actuating force from the drive system to the arm; an end-effector coupled to the arm, the end-effector configured to engage a user and having at least three degrees-of-freedom of rotational motion; and a control system for controlling the drive system such as to provide a force to the end-effector in a selected direction.
GRAVITY COMPENSATION MECHANISMS AND METHODS
Mechanisms and methods for providing gravity compensation to an arm or an arm holding a tool, that allows that arm to seem weightless. The mechanisms and methods include pantograph members that mimic the kinematics of the arm and also compensate for gravity making the arm, the arm holding a tool, or a tool seem weightless.
SPINE-PROTECTING AND SPINE-CORRECTING MULTIFUNCTIONAL HEALTHCARE SEAT DEVICE EMPLOYING BODY WEIGHT TO ACHIEVE EMBRACE-LIKE SUPPORT, PRESSURE-REDUCTION, FIXING, AND CORRECTION
A spine-protecting and spine-correcting multi-functional health-care seat device employing gravity to achieve embrace-like support, pressure reduction, fixing, and correction, including a seat frame and a gravity embrace-like support and sitting device. The gravity embrace-like support and sitting device includes a sitting plate (1), sitting plate support rods (8) symmetrically arranged on two sides of a bottom of the sitting plate (1), rotating bearings (1101) symmetrically arranged on two sides of the seat frame, embrace-like support levers cooperatively arranged on the rotating bearings (1101), and embrace-like support palms (2) arranged at top ends of the embrace-like support levers. One end of each sitting plate support rod (8) is hinged to a bottom of the sitting plate (1), and the other end is hinged to a bottom of each embrace-like support lever through a support rod rotating shaft (15).
Upper and lower limb walking rehabilitation device
An upper and lower limbs walking rehabilitation device of the present invention includes a foot stepping part, and comprises: a lower frame part; a lower limb link unit provided between the foot stepping part and the lower frame part and providing a walking trajectory to the foot stepping part; an upper frame part detachably provided at the upper end of the lower frame part by means of a detachment part; an upper limb link unit provided at the upper frame part and implementing the movement of upper limbs; and an upper linking part for linking the upper limb link unit and the lower limb link unit.
EXOSUIT SUPPORT SYSTEMS AND METHODS
An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides an exosuit support system, comprising first and second orthotic interfaces, first and second members, and first and second actuators. The first and second orthotic interfaces can be configured to attach to left and right legs of a user, respectively. The first member can comprise a first end connected to the first orthotic interface and a second end connected to a portion of the system configured to be positioned proximate a right shoulder of the user. The second member can comprise a first end connected to the second orthotic interface and a second end connected to a portion of the system configured to be positioned proximate a left shoulder of the user. The first actuator can be configured to apply a first tension to the first member. The second actuator can be configured to apply a second tension to the second member.
