An assist device includes: a first harness to be fitted to at least one of a shoulder region and a breast region of a user; a second harness configured to be fitted to one of a leg region and a waist region, of the user; a belt body provided so as to extend to the first harness and to the second harness along a back side of the user; an actuator provided in one of the first harness and the second harness; and a controller performs operation control of the actuator. The actuator winds a part of the belt body and unwinds the part of the belt body. The controller performs the operation control of the actuator based on a posture change of the user.

The invention provides a vibration massage apparatus wherein one or more vibrators which can be housed in rigid elongate capsules are supported by respective pairs of flexible members relative to a main body that can serve as a handle and/or a relatively non vibrational flesh-contacting surface, thus having a wide range of application and significantly optimizing user experience.

This application discloses a portable exercise device for flexibility and strengthening. In some embodiments, the device is comprised of one elastic band of surgical tubing or like material and one non-elastic band, with two pairs of looped handles tied to each end of the elastic band. These looped handles can attach to a user's limb without any need for grasping. The non-elastic end of the device can be affixed to an anchor point. The exercise device offers light but adjustable resistance via a resistance modulator, allowing the user to engage in a full range of standing and seated exercises with forces comparable to swimming. In addition, two instances of the device can be combined to engage both the user's hands and feet simultaneously.

Disclosed is a rehabilitation training apparatus. The rehabilitation training apparatus includes a pair of first tracks formed parallel to each other along first axis, a second track disposed on the pair of first tracks, and moving along the first axis, and formed along second axis, a hand holder disposed on the second track, and moving along the second track, and on which at least one of hand and arm of a user is held, a stopper for a track disposed on the pair of first tracks for limiting a movement range of the second track, and a stopper for a holder disposed on the second track for limiting a movement range of the second pair of first tracks, wherein the first axis and the second axis are disposed with an inclination.

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.

An elevation device for use in the performance of CPR includes a base, an upper support coupled with the base that elevates an individual's heart, shoulders, and head relative to horizontal, an adjustment mechanism coupled with the upper support that adjusts elevation of the upper support, a chest compression device; and a controller system. The controller primes the circulatory system by causing the chest compression device to perform chest compressions while the individual's heart, shoulders, and head are supported by the upper support at a first elevation position for a period of time. The controller causes the adjustment mechanism to adjust the elevation of the upper support to a second elevation position after the period of time has elapsed while performing chest compressions. The controller causes the chest compression device to perform chest compressions on the individual while the individual's heart, shoulders, and head are at the second elevation position.

A gait trainer adapted for use with a treadmill and, optionally, a spinning cycle, provides greater accessibility for therapeutic and rehabilitative gait pattern training to individuals confronting injury, illness, or disability. The gait trainer is adjustable, to accommodate a wide variety of users with different stride lengths and needs.

A motorized rehabilitation device includes a mobile base bound by a lower surface and an upper surface. A first motorized wheel assembly is supported on the upper surface of the mobile base. The mobile base also includes a second motorized wheel assembly at least partially extending below the lower surface of the base. A dome is bound by an exterior convex surface and an interior concave surface. The dome is biased for friction contact of the interior concave surface with the first motorized wheel assembly. An end-effector is positioned above the exterior concave surface. The end-effector is configured to engage an animal body part.

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.

A therapy device for treating left-side and right-side body parts comprises a single-piece base plate having a left surface and a right surface, a moving segment having a support surface for a left- or right-side body part to be treated, and a drive for pivoting the moving segment back and forth relative to the base plate. The moving segment is fastened to the base plate so as to be pivotable around an axis of rotation. The left surface of the base plate is shaped for supporting thereon a left-side body portion assigned to a left-side body part to be treated. The right surface of the base plate is shaped for supporting thereon a right-side body portion assigned to a right-side body part to be treated.
