A massage apparatus includes a base frame; a first seat frame connected to the base frame to be rotatable with respect to the base frame, and including a seat portion on which a user is to be seated; a second seat frame coupled to the first seat frame to be rotatable with respect to the first seat frame, and including a backrest portion; a first driving unit connected to the base frame and the first seat frame to drive the first seat frame to rotate with respect to the base frame; a massage module accommodated in the second seat frame to perform a massage function; and a control unit configured to, upon an execution command for a massage course being input, control the first driving unit to rotate the first seat frame such that a rear side of the first seat frame is raised thereby raising the seat portion.

A system for supporting a treatment of a person includes a base platform for receiving the person, where the base platform includes at least one upper surface which defines a substantially flat reference plane, and at least one fill element, where the at least one fill element is displaceable between a first position and a second position. In the second position an upper surface of the at least one fill element extends above the reference plane with an adjustable distance, such that said at least one fill element fills a space between the reference plane and a lower side of a or each foot of the person. A use of such a system.

The invention provides, in some aspects, an AMCPR method and apparatus that apply a continuous flex correction where a flex correction is determined based on one or more strokes, and applied to a subsequent compressive stroke. In these aspects, for example, the AMCPR's control system determines the flex correction to a future compressive stroke based on the rail voltage and amperage applied to a motor during a prior compressive stroke, such as an immediately prior stroke or such as the penultimate stroke. As a result of using the rail voltage and amperage applied to the motor, the need for an additional sensor means, such as a force sensor, has been removed.

It is disclosed an apparatus for restoring voluntary control of locomotion in a subject suffering from a neuromotor impairment comprising a multidirectional trunk support system and a device for epidural electrical stimulation. The robotic interface is capable of evaluating, enabling and training motor pattern generation and balance across a variety of natural walking behaviors in subjects with neuromotor impairments. Optionally, pharmacological cocktails can be administered to enhance rehabilitation results. It is also disclosed a method for the evaluation, enablement and training of a subject suffering from neuromotor impairments by combining robotically assisted evaluation tools with sophisticated neurobiomechanical and statistical analyzes. A method for the rehabilitation (by this term also comprising restoring voluntary control of locomotion) of a subject suffering from a neuromotor impairment in particular partial or total paralysis of limbs, is also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a massage device including a rotatable arm massage part and, more specifically, to a massage device having an arm massage part rotatably provided thereto so that various functions can be provided to a user. To this end, an aspect of the present invention includes: a body massage part including a main frame forming a skeleton of a massage device and massaging the body of a user; and arm massage parts disposed at opposite sides of the body massage part to receive both arms of the user, respectively, and massaging the arms of the user, wherein the main frame may include an arm fixing frame to which the arm massage part is connected, and the arm massage part may include an arm moving frame rotatable in at least one direction with reference to the arm fixing frame.

The robotic upper limb rehabilitation device assists in rehabilitation of an upper limb of a human patient recovering from a stroke or the like. The device is an exoskeleton having an articulated shoulder assembly having five degrees of freedom, including at least two degrees of freedom simulating inner shoulder movement. An upper arm member is pivotally attached to the shoulder assembly, and a forearm assembly is pivotally attached to the upper arm member. An inflatable handgrip is pivotally attached to the forearm assembly. A robotic control unit receives signals from sensors and is configured to activate actuators attached to the exoskeleton to assist upper limb movement when required, or to permit the exoskeleton to conform to upper limb movement when no assistance is required.

To provide a heating apparatus for a heat treatment machine configured to accurately bring each ceramic member into contact with a set moxibustion point, the present invention provides a heating apparatus for a heat treatment machine including a base plate, an ascending and descending member of which one end is coupled to the base plate through a coupler, a plurality of ceramic members provided in the ascending and descending member, a first driving part configured to raise and lower the ascending and descending member, and a second driving part configured to convey the base plate in a horizontal direction.

The disclosure relates to wearable devices and methods that utilize laryngeal or neck vibro-tactile stimulation (VTS) as a non-invasive form of neuromodulation that induces measurable improvements in the patients with focal dystonia of the head, neck and voice including cervical dystonia and/or spasmodic symptoms.

A motion assistance apparatus including a proximal support configured to support a proximal part of a user, a first drive link and a second drive link configured to perform translational motions with respect to the proximal support at different velocities, a support link with both ends rotatably connected to the first drive link and the second drive link, respectively, the support link having a variable length, and a distal support connected to the support link, the distal support configured to support a distal part of the user is provided.
