A wearable apparatus for assisting muscular strength includes: a main body mechanism extending in a vertical direction of a wearer's torso, and being fixed to a side of a wearer's torso under a wearer's shoulder; a fastening mechanism extending along an extension direction of a wearer's upper arm, and being disposed at and being in contact with a lower surface of the wearer's upper arm; a connecting mechanism having a first end coupled to the fastening mechanism and a second end movably coupled to the main body mechanism so as to be movable with respect to the main body mechanism; and a support mechanism movably coupled between the first end and the second end of the connecting mechanism to apply a support force to the connecting mechanism, and coupled to the main body mechanism and movable with respect thereto.

A system and apparatus that performs a capture of human motion and location in order to relay the mechanics of joint and body movement to virtual- and augmented-reality based environments. Collected data and measurements using sensors that can be analyzed and sorted. The sensors can be used to passively collect data or can be used to provide data into a feedback loop to drive other systems.

A walking assist device has a frame, fixed handles, rails provided with movable handles, front wheels, rear wheels and that serve as drive wheels, drive units, a battery, and a drive control unit, and travels forward or rearward together with a user that walks while grasping the fixed handles or the movable handles. The walking assist device has an operation mode switching unit that switches between a training mode, in which a load is applied to operation of the body of the user performed as the user walks, and an assist mode in which a load on operation of the body of the user performed as the user walks is alleviated.

In various embodiments a method of synergistically using a neuromodulation stimulator and a robotic exoskeleton for the restoration of voluntary movement and greater muscle activation in chronically paralyzed subjects is provided. The noninvasive neuromodulation system delivers signals to facilitate the restoration and/or enhancement of neurological function where at least one effect is strengthened stepping capacity that can be further substantiated when coupled with robotic exoskeleton assistance.

A rehabilitation system for robotized mobilization of a human glenohumeral joint of a patient. The rehabilitation system may include a limb gripping member and an actuating mechanism. The limb gripping member may be configured to receive an arm of a patient and secure the arm of the patient in a predetermined position. The actuating mechanism may be configured to urge a head of a humerus bone of the patient to glide along a first axis by applying a linear force to a proximal end of the humerus bone of the patient.

An apparatus for stretching a human body comprising a floor frame having a central axis. A first beam is coupled substantially perpendicular to the floor frame. The first beam has a foot pedal, a knee support, and a waist support. A second beam coupled substantially perpendicular to the floor frame, the second beam having a plurality of lower arm handles. A third beam is coupled substantially perpendicular to the floor frame. A fourth beam is adjacently coupled to the third beam. The third beam has a plurality of upper arm handles.

An exoskeleton for supporting an arm of a user includes a torso attachment device for releasably connecting the exoskeleton to a torso of the user, a bracket which is connectable to the torso attachment device, a lifting rod which is connectable to the torso attachment device via the bracket and which is reversibly movable in a first direction and a second direction relative to the bracket, a cantilever for supporting the arm of the user which is releasably connectable to the arm of the user, and a ratchet mechanism. The ratchet mechanism connects a first end of the lifting rod to a first end of the cantilever where the ratchet mechanism allows rotation of the cantilever in a first direction of rotation and blocks rotation of the cantilever in a second direction of rotation.

An exoskeleton for supporting an arm of a user includes a torso attachment device, a bracket which is connectable to the torso attachment device, a lifting rod which is connectable to the torso attachment device via the bracket and which is reversibly movable in a first direction and a second direction relative to the bracket, a cantilever for supporting the arm of the user which is releasably connectable to the arm of the user, a ratchet mechanism that connects a first end of the lifting rod to a first end of the cantilever, and a blocking device. The ratchet mechanism is adjustable by the blocking device from a release position into a blocking position where, in the release position, the cantilever is pivotable relative to the lifting rod and where, in the blocking position, a pivoting movement of the cantilever relative to the lifting rod is blocked.
