Disclosed is a massage device for a legrest of a vehicle seat in which a massage module capable of massaging the calves of a passenger by striking the same is installed so as to massage the calves of the passenger, thereby improving blood flow to the calves and significantly reducing the fatigue of the passenger.

A walking training system and an operation method capable of performing training effectively are provided. A walking training system according to an embodiment includes a harness attached to a trainee's trunk, a first pulling unit configured to apply a pulling force to the harness from a first direction along a horizontal direction, a second pulling unit configured to apply a pulling force to the harness from a second direction along the horizontal direction, and a control unit configured to control the first and second pulling units.

Disclosed is a stretchable massager. The stretchable massager includes an installation sleeve, a massage member and a drive member. The massage member is inserted into the installation sleeve, and a drive member is provided in the installation sleeve. A drive end of the drive member is connected to the massage member, to drive the massage member to extend or contract along a length direction of the installation sleeve.

There is provided an apparatus for upper body movement. The apparatus comprises a H-shaped cable-driven mechanism; two motors for driving the H-shaped cable-driven mechanism; and a manipulandum coupled to the H-shaped cable-driven mechanism for independent movement along x and y axes.

A wearable device may include a proximal support configured to support a proximal part (e.g., waist) of a user, a distal support configured to support a distal part (e.g., thigh) of the user, a driving assembly which is connected to the proximal support and configured to generate power, and a driving frame configured to transmit the force from the driving assembly to the distal support. The driving assembly may include a housing which is connected to the proximal support, an actuator including a stator which is fixed to the housing and has a ring shape and a rotor which is located inside the stator and rotatable relative to the stator, a speed reducer which is inserted inside the rotor and includes an input end which is connected to an output end of the actuator, and a supporting part configured to support the speed reducer and connected detachably to the housing.

A massage tool includes a rod having a proximal end and a distal end, and a body follower having a proximal side and a distal side. The proximal end is configured for attachment to a reciprocating shaft of a reciprocating motor. The reciprocating shaft has a stroke axis and a stroke length, and the distal end of the rod is configured to rotatably attach to the proximal side of the body follower by means of a rotating joint defining a center of rotation. The distal side of the body follower may include a body contact area having a maximum length at least three times greater than a minimum distance from the center of rotation of the rotating joint to the body contact area.

Driving modules, motion assistance apparatuses including at least one of the driving modules, and methods of controlling at least one of the motion assistance apparatuses may be provided. For example, a driving module including a driving source on one side of a user and configured to transmit power, an input side rotary body coupled to the driving source and configured to rotate, first and second decelerators configured to operate using the power respectively received from the driving source through the input side rotary body, and a first stopper and a second stopper configured to selectively enable or disable a transmission of the power between the input side rotary body and respective output terminals of the first and second decelerators may be provided.

A motion assisting apparatus includes a multijoint structure having links in series rotatably connected in a relative manner, the links being integrally deformed in a bendable manner, a linear member inserted through each of the links, wherein one end is fixed to the link in front and another end is elongated via the link in rear, a sliding/holding part which fixes an elongated portion of the linear member, and slidably guides the rear link in a connecting direction between each of the links, a drive unit which drives the rear link to slide toward the sliding/holding part and causes the multijoint structure, through which the linear member has been inserted, to engage in an extending or flexing motion, and a control unit which drive-controls the drive unit so that a sliding direction, a sliding speed and a sliding position of the rear link will become an intended state.

Disclosed is a rehabilitation training apparatus including a pair of first tracks that are arranged in parallel at an interval, a second track that is perpendicular to the pair of first tracks and is movably connected to the pair of first tracks, a hand holder that is movably provided in the second track and on which a hand of the user is held, a holder driving unit that reciprocally moves the hand holder along the second track, and a track driving unit that reciprocally moves the second track along the pair of first tracks.

This document describes systems and methods for controlling an exoskeleton. The system receives a measurement of a first torque applied to a rotational joint coupling a first component to a second component, the first torque being applied by a motor via a cable. The system determines, based on the measurement of the first torque, a first portion of a second torque to apply to the rotational joint. The system determines, based on the measurement of the first torque, a second portion of the second torque to apply to the rotational joint. The system determines a value of the second torque to apply to the rotational joint based on the first portion and the second portion. The system controls the motor for applying the second torque to the rotational joint via the cable.
