Examples of the disclosure are directed to mechanical compression devices that can adjust a location of a compression position relative to a patient. One or more of the mechanical compression devices can adjust the compression position in an adjustment plane that is generally perpendicular to a patient. Some of the mechanical compression include support columns that have actuators that can be set asymmetrically to adjust the compression position and/or can be tilted relative to the backboard to adjust the compression position. Other examples includes mechanical compression devices that have multiple actuators that can be used to adjust the compression position as well as provide compressions.

An interactive upper limb rehabilitation training system includes an interactive display screen, a host computer control center, a dual-arm rehabilitation robot, a movable space adjustable dual-arm robot base, and a position tracker. The dual-arm rehabilitation robot is mounted on the movable space adjustable dual-arm robot base, and drives an arm of a patient to move through two end effectors. The movable space adjustable dual-arm robot base adjusts an operating space of the dual-arm rehabilitation robot. The position tracker is used for real-time collecting position and posture information of the arm, and transmitting it to the host computer control center and the interactive display screen. The interactive display screen is used for synchronous operating a game by the position and posture information. The host computer control center is used to store patient information, and is used to provide a quantitative index after evaluating a rehabilitation process of the patient.

The invention relates to a rehabilitation device adapted for rehabilitation and/or exercise of the shoulder region, the device being provided with a frame (1), which is connected to a power-generating apparatus (2), a back part (10), a seat part (11), and armrests (21). The rehabilitation device according to the invention is characterised in that it further comprises first support arms (23), second support arms (24), and motion arms (22), which communicate with said corresponding first and second support arms. The rehabilitation device according to the invention is further characterised in that said armrests (21) are articulated in said corresponding motion arms (22), and said power-generating apparatus (2) communicates with said motion arms (22). In addition, the invention relates to the use of the rehabilitation device for exercising the shoulder region.

A link assembly includes a main frame, a base link rotatably connected to the main frame, an input link rotatably connected to the main frame, and an output link at least 2-degree of freedom (DOF) rotatably connected to the main frame.

A motion assistance apparatus includes a waist frame configured to support a waist of a user, and a proximal support configured to support a proximal part of the user. A pressure applied to a thigh of the user by the proximal support in a sitting state in which the user is sitting may be greater than a pressure applied to the thigh of the user by the proximal support in a standing state in which the user is standing upright.

A health care device includes a health care body for positioning a body part of a user, so as to maintain a first specific positional relationship with the body part, wherein the body part has an acupoint; an acupoint work piece for performing a health care work onto the use through the acupoint; and a work piece holder having a first end connected to the health care body and a second end for fixing the acupoint work piece, so that under the first specific positional relationship, the acupoint work piece performs the health care work under the condition that the acupoint work piece has a second specific positional relationship with the acupoint. A health care body, method and system are also provided.

It is disclosed an apparatus (100) for tactile stimulation of C-Tactile afferents comprising a casing (10) configured to be positioned onto a user's skin and at least one tactile stimulation element (21) carried by the casing (10) and operated by a motor (30) at a controlled velocity for generating at least one tactile stimulation. The apparatus (100) further comprises an electronic control unit (40) and at least one pressure sensor (50) in electrical communication with the electronic control unit (40) to control the pressure force exerted by the tactile stimulation element (21) onto the user's skin by adjusting the position of the tactile stimulation element (21) with respect to the user's skin, based on a feedback signal transmitted by said at least one pressure sensor (50). A method of generating at least one tactile stimulation of C-Tactile afferents carried out by using the aforesaid apparatus (100) is also disclosed.
