LEG TRAINING DEVICE
Exemplary arrangements provide leg training devices suitable for high intensity training of hip flexors while simultaneously training the extensors of hip and knee joints. The exemplary leg training devices include foot fixings which are permanent vertically movable components of the device, each of which are configured to releasably engage a foot of a user in operative engagement therewith while limiting the movement of the foot relative to the foot fixings. Each of the foot fixings is operatively connected to a suitable mechanism that provides a resistance force to vertical movement of the foot fixing by the user's leg. In exemplary arrangements the resistance force may be selectively variable with regard to the magnitude and/or point of application so as to provide the desired training regimen.

It includes a shoulder assembly adapted to be secured to a wearer's shoulder and an upper arm assembly connected to the shoulder assembly and adapted to be secured around a wearer's upper arm. The upper arm assembly defines an upper arm assembly axis. A wrist assembly is adapted to be secured around a wearer's wrist. The wrist assembly defines a wrist assembly axis. A splint arm assembly includes an upper splint arm, a lower splint arm, and a pivot pivotally connecting the upper splint arm to the lower splint arm. The upper splint arm adjustably connects to the upper arm assembly and the lower split, arm adjustably connects to the wrist assembly.
CAM AND NON-CIRCULAR GEAR PAIR FOR UNPOWERED MULTI-JOINT SYNCHRONOUS TRAINING DEVICE, MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF, TRANSMISSION MECHANISM USING THE SAME, AND UNPOWERED MULTI-JOINT SYNCHRONOUS TRAINING DEVICE
The invention provides a cam for an unpowered multi joint synchronous training device, wherein the cam has a circular main body, a cam slot is disposed on a first side surface of the circular main body, and a contour of the cam slot is configured such that rotational movement of the cam drives a follower provided in the cam slot to perform variable-speed reciprocation motion along a predetermined horizontal axis, wherein for each rotation of the cam, the follower performs reciprocating motion once between a first position and a second position; the first position and the second position are respectively positions of the follower along the horizontal axis when the follower is at positions of the contour closest to, and farthest from, a center of the circular main body; and the reciprocating motion drives a driven object connected to the follower to perform variable-speed oscillation within a range of an angle. The invention further provides a non-circular gear pair for an unpowered multi joint synchronous training device, a method of manufacturing the cam and the non-circular gear pair, a transmission mechanism using the cam and the non-circular gear pair, and an unpowered multi joint synchronous training device using the transmission mechanism.
WALKING TRAINING SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND CONTROL PROGRAM
The walking training device includes: a robot leg attached to one leg of a trainee; a treadmill; a load distribution sensor that detects a distribution of a load received from a sole of the trainee; and a walking state distinguishing unit that determines whether the one leg is in a swinging leg state; a control unit that performs a predetermined bending-extending control for the swinging leg state of the one leg by the robot leg when the one leg is in the swinging leg state; a measuring unit that measures a clearance between the one leg in the swinging leg state and the treadmill. The control unit changes control content of the predetermined bending-extending control so that the one leg does not contact the belt of the treadmill during extending control of the one leg, when the clearance is less than a specified value.
FINGER JOINT REHABILITATION TRAINING DEVICE
The present disclosure provides a finger joint rehabilitation training device, which includes a control member, a data acquisition member, a gas circuit system, and a wearable training member. The wearable training member is provided with a pneumatic component that can expand and contract. The data acquisition member is configured for acquiring hand motion information of a first hand and transmitting the hand motion information to the control member. The hand motion information includes hand pressing information. The control member controls the gas circuit system to inflate the pneumatic component or to draw air from the pneumatic component according to the hand motion information, to make the wearable training member change between a flexion condition and a stretching condition, so as to realize a hand mirror training of a second hand. The hand pressing information is simple and convenient to acquire, which is convenient for the first hand to realize the flexion condition and the stretching condition, and the condition of the second hand is adjusted through the condition of the first hand, so that the wearable training member can be better adjusted, different hand training intensity requirements are met, and a better training effect is achieved.
Systems and Methods of Using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in a Telemedical Environment to Predict User Disease States
Methods, systems, and computer-readable mediums for generating, by an artificial intelligence engine, treatment plans for optimizing a user outcome. The method comprises receiving attribute data associated with a user. The attribute data comprises one or more symptoms associated with the user. The method also comprises, while the user uses a treatment apparatus to perform a first treatment plan for the user, receiving measurement data associated with the user. The method further comprises generating, by the artificial intelligence engine configured to use one or more machine learning models, a second treatment plan for the user. The generating is based on at least the attribute data associated with the user and the measurement data associated with the user. The second treatment plan comprises a description of one or more predicted disease states of the user. The method also comprises transmitting, to a computing device, the second treatment plan for the user.
MULTI-USE MOUNTING BRACKET WITH EXTENSION AND INTERNAL SUPPORT ROD FOR GYM ACCESSORIES
Described herein are methods of manufacturing multi-use mounting brackets having an extension with an internal support rod configured to support gym accessories. A single multi-use mounting bracket fits gym rigging or gym racks of different sizes and hole configurations. This accomplished by including multiple pairs of holes that are sized and positioned to be compatible with different gym rigging configurations.

Adjustable strap apparatus and method for use
Embodiments of the present invention provide an adjustable strap apparatus and methods of instructing a patient to perform an exercise using the adjustable strap apparatus. An apparatus according to embodiments of the present invention includes a strap, a plurality of hook patches and a plurality of loop patches joined thereto. A hook patch and a loop patch of the present invention are removably engageable to form pull loops from ends of the apparatus and to form a pull belt between the pull loops. A therapist may instruct a patient to perform a mobilization exercise or a stretching exercise by forming pull loops about extremities of the patient and pulling on the apparatus without grasping to exert a stabilization force or resistance force upon a part of the body of the patient.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING INDIRECT MOVEMENT FEEDBACK DURING SENSORIMOTOR FUNCTION REHABILITATION AND ENHANCEMENT
A rehabilitation feedback system is used during rehabilitation of one or more body appendages of a user. The system includes four finger tracking elements and a thumb tracking element supported for movement relative to one another so as to allow a user to perform a gripping motion when the elements are coupled to the fingers and thumb of a user. A biasing member provides a resistance force acting to urge each tracking element towards a starting position thereof. A visual barrier is adapted to hide the hand of the user at a first side of the visual barrier from direct visual sight by the user at a second side of the visual barrier. A sensor at the first side of the visual barrier detects movements of the tracking elements and communicates with an indicator element detectable by the user from a second side of the visual barrier.
