A moving device for moving a human thumb, in particular for moving the thumb between a resting position and a grasping position. A thumb bending section is adapted to at least partially move the thumb between a flexed position and an extended position. The thumb bending section has a gear unit for transforming a rotation of a rotation element, which is rotatably mounted to a housing, into an essentially linear movement between a translation element and the housing. The thumb bending section further has a first flexion spring mechanically connected to the translation element and adapted to be fixed with a first proximal end of the first flexion spring relative to a human thumb at a position in a proximal distance to the metacarpophalangeal joint or at a position between the metacarpophalangeal joint and the carpometacarpal joint.

A method for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) includes supplying an inflation gas at an operative pressure to an inflation actuated soft gripper device to change form from an undeployed state to a deployed grip state that accommodates and grips a human torso. The inflation actuated soft gripper device includes a first inflatable gripper arm having a first distal end and a second inflatable gripper arm having a second distal end. The first distal end and the second distal end approach one another from the undeployed state to the deployed grip state. The first and second distal ends are spaced apart from one another further in the undeployed state than in the deployed grip state. An actuator power and a CPR control signal are delivered to a CPR pressure application device to cyclically extend and retract a pressure applicator along an axis in alignment with a sternum of the human torso.

Automated CPR systems incorporating biological feedback can include an automated compression piston system, a data acquisition system, computer systems for running various control algorithms, ventilation control systems, and/or drug delivery systems. Automated CPR systems can be used as stand-alone systems for treating patients in cardiac arrest, or they can be used to administer pretreatment to a patient prior to defibrillation.

A system and method for controlling sexual stimulation devices using motion-sensing controllers. The system comprises a male sexual stimulation device and a motion sensing controller configured to control the operation of the reciprocating linear motion driver. In operation, natural motions of a user with the motion sensing controller result in corresponding motions of the male sexual stimulation device such as reciprocal linear motions and rotational motions.

An improvement to portable cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), includes a first module hub housing, an inflation actuated soft gripper configured to receive an inflation gas in response, to change form to a deployed grip state that accommodates and grips a human torso. Improvements include the inflatable gripper not requiring lifting the patient. Improvements also include modularity for in-the-field reconfigurability, in which a second module hub housing attaches to the first module hub housing, carrying a CPR pressure applicator configured to receive an actuator power and control signal causing, concurrent with the deployed grip state, cyclic extension and retraction of a pressure applicator along an axis aligned with a sternum of the human torso.

In at least one aspect, there is provided a system for generating force about one or more joints including a soft exosuit having a plurality of anchor elements and at least one connection element disposed between the plurality of anchor elements. The system also includes at least one sensor to determine a force the at least one connection element or at least one of the plurality of anchor elements and to output signals relating to the force, at least one actuator configured to change a tension in the soft exosuit and at least one controller configured to receive the signals output from the at least one sensor and actuate the at least one actuator responsive to the received signals.

The sexual massage apparatus includes: an engine assembly, including an outer shell and a first driving unit, wherein the outer shell has a hollow cavity defined therein, and the first driving unit is arranged in the hollow cavity; a massage machine, capable of being at least partly inserted into the hollow cavity of the engine assembly and being separated from the engine assembly, wherein the massage machine includes a first sexual stimulation unit, when the massage machine is at least partly inserted into the hollow cavity, the first sexual stimulation unit is controlled by the first driving unit, to apply a first sexual stimulation for a human body part, and the first sexual stimulation is a compression sexual stimulation generated along a radial direction for the human body part.

A therapy device (1) for treating a body part particularly a big toe of a patient, comprises: a base body (2) with a surface (21L, 21R) for receiving a portion of the body of the patient adjacent to the body part; a moving segment (3) having a support surface (321) for receiving the body part; and a drive unit (5) for pivoting the moving segment (3) back and forth relative to the base body (2). The drive unit (5) is fixed to the moving segment (3) and pivotable back and forth relative to the base body (2) together with the moving segment (3).

A reciprocating linear movement massaging apparatus, having a shell, a massaging assembly provided in the shell, a driving mechanism for driving the massaging assembly to perform reciprocating linear movement axially along the shell, and an electric control device for controlling the driving mechanism; the driving mechanism comprises a stator assembly and a mover assembly, an air gap is provided between the stator assembly and the mover assembly; the stator assembly comprises (an) annular coil(s) provided in the shell, the mover assembly comprises a plurality of magnets provided in the annular coil(s), the plurality of magnets enclose to be an annular magnet; the annular magnet is transmissively connected with the massaging assembly and the massaging assembly is located in an annular space enclosed by the annular magnet, and an open cavity is provided in the massaging assembly for receiving a human part to be massaged.

Systems, devices, and methods are described herein that relate to massage devices with force control and feedback for providing pain relief and improved muscle recover to users. The massage devices can output mechanisms for applying a mechanical output to a muscle area of a user to treat a muscle condition, driving mechanisms for driving the movement of the output mechanisms, and sensors for measuring force and other properties associated with application of the mechanical output. The massage devices can be configured to adapt therapy being applied to a muscle area or provide users with feedback based on sensor measurements.
