Split-crank pedaling devices and methods of operation support patient use and rehabilitation, particularly for stroke patients. A split-crank pedaling device includes first and second crank assemblies. First and second motors are operably connected to the first and second crank assemblies. A first shaft sensor produces an indication of a position of the shaft of the first crank assembly. A second shaft sensor produces an indication of a position of the shaft of the second crank assembly. A controller is communicatively connected to the first and second motors and the first and second shaft sensors and calculates a phase error between the positions of the first and second shafts and a predetermined phase relationship between the first and second shafts. The controller operates at least one of the first motor or the second motor to provide a supplemental torque to one of the first crank assembly and the second crank assembly.

A motion assisting device includes a cord-like body that is wound around the outer peripheral surfaces of a first pulley and a second pulley. An elastic body energizing force in accordance with a rotation angle of the first pulley is provided to the first pulley at a first rotation axis, which is a rotation axis of the first pulley. Along with the rotation of the first pulley by energizing force of the elastic body, the cord-like body is wound around the first pulley and unwound from the second pulley, whereby the second pulley is rotated. Along with the rotation of the second pulley, a small gear rotating together with the second pulley with a second rotation axis as a center and a large gear fittable to the small gear rotate, and the large gear rotates a lower limb rod through a transmission mechanism.

A computer-implemented system may include a treatment device configured to be manipulated by a user while the user is performing a treatment plan, a patient interface. and a computing device configured to: receive treatment data pertaining to the user who uses the treatment device to perform the treatment plan; identify at least one enhanced component using the treatment data; generate an enhanced environment using the at least one enhanced component and the treatment plan; output at least one aspect of the enhanced environment to at least one of the patient interface and another interface; receive subsequent treatment data pertaining to the user; and selectively modify at least one of the enhanced environment and at least one of the at least one aspect of the treatment plan and any other aspect of the treatment plan using the subsequent treatment data.

A method of configuring one or more exoskeleton systems in an exoskeleton network, the method comprising: receiving exoskeleton data from one or more exoskeleton systems that are operably connected to a network; storing the exoskeleton data from the one or more exoskeleton systems; generating a configuration input for configuring at least one of the one or more exoskeleton systems; and sending the generated configuration input to the at least one of the one or more exoskeleton systems via the network to cause the at least one of the one or more exoskeleton systems to be configured based at least in part on the generated configuration input.

A method of operating an exoskeleton system comprising: obtaining a set of sensor data from at least sensors associated with one or more actuator units; determining a maneuver state based at least in part on the set of sensor data; determining a configuration of the one or more actuator units based at least in part on the set of sensor data; generating one or more reference targets for the one or more actuator units based at least in part on the determined maneuver state; determining that the one or more actuator units is outside of a generated reference target one or more actuator units; and causing the one or more actuator units to be configured to be within the generated reference target for the one or more actuator units.

A method of configuring a treatment regimen of one or more exoskeleton systems in an exoskeleton network, the method comprising: receiving exoskeleton data from one or more exoskeleton systems that are operably connected to a network; storing the exoskeleton data from the one or more exoskeleton systems; generating a configuration input for configuring at least one of the one or more exoskeleton systems the configuration input including a replacement for or update to a current medical treatment regimen being implemented by the at least one of the one or more exoskeleton systems; and sending the generated configuration input to the at least one of the one or more exoskeleton systems via the network to cause replacing or updating the current medical treatment regimen being implemented by the at least one of the one or more exoskeleton systems.

An exoskeleton system comprising at least one leg actuator unit configured to be coupled to leg of a user, the leg actuator unit including: an upper arm and a lower arm that are rotatably coupled via a joint, the joint positioned at a knee of the user with the upper arm coupled about an upper leg portion of the user above the knee and with the lower arm coupled about a lower leg portion of the user below the knee, a leg-actuator-unit user interface comprising a plurality of input and feedback elements, and an actuator that extends between the upper arm and lower arms.

A fluidic exoskeleton system that comprises a fluidic actuator unit configured to be associated with a user wearing the fluidic exoskeleton system, the fluidic actuator unit including: a rotatable joint a first and second plate coupled to the rotatable joint and an inflatable actuator extending between the first and second plate.

A device for supporting at least one arm of a user, has one or more arm support elements, each of which has an arm shell for mounting on an arm. Passive actuator(s) are configured to exert a force on an arm support element by way of which an upward movement of the arm in the arm shell is supported when the device is in the mounted state. The device includes at least one counter bearing for the force to be applied, and at least one actuating element, the actuation of which allows the actuator to be moved into a first state where the actuator exerts the force on the at least one arm support element, and into a second state in which it exerts a smaller or no force on the arm support element.

A hula hoop, comprising a hoop body which includes a plurality of unit sections connected end to end, two adjacent unit sections are detachably connected to each other through a connecting member, and each unit section has an accommodating groove for inserting the connecting member. The front section and the rear section of the connecting member are inserted into the accommodating grooves of two adjacent unit sections, and the unit section has a locking mechanism for keeping the connecting member in the accommodating groove. The hoop body comprises a plurality of unit sections connected end to end. Two adjacent unit sections are connected to each other through a connecting member, which can realize the rapid disassembhly and assembly of the unit sections. By increasing or reducing the number of unit sections, the inner diameter of the hoop body can be changed to adapt to exercisers with different body shapes, and the hoop body can be opened at any position, which is more convenient to operate than the prior art.
