Mag-Lev Limb Training Device
A device for training and rehabilitation of a limb is provided. The device provides a board with an ability to magnetically levitate a movement base above the board to allow for controlled movement of a limb or other body part of a user needing training and rehabilitation in various directions.
DYNAMIC MOTION BOOT AND RELATED METHODS FOR BLOOD CLOT PREVENTION
A medical apparatus has a base portion shaped and configured to engage a proximal portion of a user's limb, a mobile portion shaped and configured to engage a distal portion of the user's limb, and a motor assembly configured to selectively rotate the mobile portion relative to the base portion. Related methods are disclosed herein.
Modular and minimally constraining lower limb exoskeleton for enhanced mobility and balance augmentation
In one embodiment, the exoskeleton structure is fastened to the body of the user by a brace and at the foot level. The exoskeleton includes at least one set of three joints corresponding to the hip abduction/adduction, the hip flexion/extension and the knee flexion/extension, wherein the architecture of the exoskeleton is compatible with a set of different removable, adaptable and backdrivable actuation units dedicated to each joints and remotely located around the trunk of the user to decrease inertia and mass on the distal segments, wherein each joint can be modularily let free, constrained by a visco-elastic mechanism or actuated by one corresponding actuation unit.
Back clapping machine with chest percussion function
A back clapping machine with chest percussion function includes a casing, a movement mechanism, a clap mechanism, and a buffer unit. The casing includes an outer cover, a rear cover, and a housing space therein, in which the movement mechanism is disposed. The clap mechanism is in the housing space and connected with the front lateral side of the movement mechanism. The buffer unit is in the housing space and arranged to elastically abut against the outer cover and the rear cover therebetween. Thus, the present invention automatically carries out back clapping operation and detects the distance for back clapping, also provides a shock buffering effect, thus achieving a back clapping chest percussion operation through a hand alike structure and preventing pressure ulcer.
Pneumatic therapy apparatus and method with overlapped compression
The pneumatic therapy apparatus and method with overlapped compression include a wrap and a controller. The wrap includes an outer wrap and an inner air bladder set; the controller can be fixedly connected to, detachably connected to, or separately connected to the outer wrap; the inner air bladder set includes one or more than one set of a first air bladder and a second air bladder that are overlapped; the controller contains an inflating motor and an integrated control board that are electrically connected. The inflating motor that is controlled by the integrated control board inflates the second air bladder first and then the first air bladder to achieve the overlapped compression between the second air bladder and the first air bladder. Therefore, the user can use the pneumatic therapy apparatus and method with overlapped compression to promote blood flow, treat lymphedema, prevent deep vein thrombosis and other diseases, and improve user experience in the treatment areas.
MASSAGE UNIT AND MASSAGE MACHINE HAVING MASSAGE UNIT
A massage unit includes a treatment member; an arm that supports the treatment member; a drive shaft that supports the arm and causes the treatment member to approach and be separated with respect to a treatment target site; a movable portion that causes the treatment member to be operable in a direction of being separated from the treatment target site when the treatment member comes into contact with the treatment target site by a force equal to or greater than predetermined strength; and biasing means for biasing the treatment member in an approaching direction.
FALL-RESISTANT METHOD OF INTELLIGENT ROLLATOR, INTELLIGENT ROLLATOR AND CONTROLLER THEREOF
Disclosed is a fall-resistant control method for an intelligent rollator, an intelligent rollator and a controller. The intelligent rollator has a vehicle body, front wheels and/or rear wheels configured at the bottom of the vehicle body and driven by a motor. The fall-resistant control method includes: recording the current position of the motor as the initial position when the moving speed of the intelligent rollator exceeds a first threshold and the acceleration of the intelligent rollator exceeds a second threshold; determining a first braking torque according to the position change of the motor relative to the initial position, wherein the greater the position change, the greater the first braking torque; determining a second braking torque according to the moving speed and/or acceleration of the intelligent rollator, wherein the greater the moving speed and/or the acceleration, the greater the second braking torque; determining the fall-resistant braking torque according to the first braking torque and the second braking torque.
Systems and methods to increase survival with favorable neurological function after cardiac arrest
A system includes a guidance device that provides feedback to a user to compress a patient's chest at a rate of between about 90 and 110 compressions per minute and at a depth of between about 4.5 centimeters to about 6 centimeters. The system includes a pressure regulation system having a pressure-responsive valve that is configured to be coupled to a patient's airway. The pressure-responsive valve is configured to remain closed during successive chest compressions in order to permit removal at least about 200 ml from the lungs in order to lower intracranial pressure to improve survival with favorable neurological function. The pressure-responsive valve is configured to remain closed until the negative pressure within the patient's airway reaches about −7 cm H.sub.2O, at which time the pressure-responsive valve is configured to open to provide respiratory gases to flow to the lungs through the pressure-responsive valve.
Portable therapeutic apparatus
A portable therapeutic apparatus is disclosed. The portable therapeutic apparatus may include a handle, a protrusion, a resistance element, and an adjustment element attached to the handle. The handle may include a first slot that houses the resistance element. The protrusion may include an indentation. The resistance element may include an elastic element.
Data acquisition and analysis of human sexual response using a personal massaging device
Methods and systems are disclosed for capturing sensor data collected by a personal massaging device with associated sensors, analyzing the data, determining biofeedback data based on the sensor data, and according to some embodiments generating a sexual response profile based on the biofeedback data and a model of human sexual response. Data may be collected and analyzed for a number of uses, including but not limited to: (1) studying human sexual response, (2) adjusting outputs of the personal massaging device based on preset conditions, (3) treating sexual dysfunction conditions, and (4) improving sexual experiences.
