WEARABLE DEVICE TO TREAT TREMOR
20220054349 · 2022-02-24 ·

Devices, systems, and methods are provided to treat tremor in an outer extremity, typically a hand, of a subject. A wearable base or glove is provided with one or more tremor damping mechanisms, which can be of different or the same types, in the case of a plurality of tremor damping mechanisms. One or more frictional damping mechanisms can be provided and/or one or more tuned mass damping mechanisms can be provided. The frictional dampening mechanism can simply be the viscoelastic material of the wearable base that deforms and interferes with tremor movement. The frictional dampening mechanism can be one or more tension elements provided within the body of the wearable base. The tuned damping mechanism may comprise one or more resonators held within a housing coupled to the wearable base. The tremor damping mechanisms can be self-adjusting and/or adjustable by the wearer.

EXOSKELETON ROBOTIC EQUIPMENT FOR TENODESIS GRASP AND RELEASE TRAINING

An exoskeleton robotic equipment for tenodesis grasp and release training includes an exoskeleton mechanism and a control device. The exoskeleton mechanism includes a fixing seat worn on a forearm, an actuating device mounted to the fixing seat, and a transmission module connected to the fixing seat and pivotally connected to the actuating device and cooperating with the fixing seat and the actuating device to form a four-bar linkage mechanism. The actuating device is controlled by the control device to drive the transmission module to move relative to the fixing seat to change the transmission module into a release state and into a grasp state so as to move the index finger and the middle finger away from and toward the thumb.

Methods and apparatuses for exoskeleton attachment
11253992 · 2022-02-22 · ·

In some embodiments, an exoskeleton device for providing gait/movement assistance to users, and more particularly, methods and apparatuses for attaching such devices to a limb of the users, are presented. In some embodiments, the apparatus may comprise a support, a support holder, and a retaining element for retaining the support secured to the support holder at least when the apparatus is in use. In some embodiments, the attachment of the support to the support holder may be configured so as to allow the support a range of translational and/or rotational degrees of motion.

Variable stroke percussive massage device

An adjustable stroke percussion massage device includes a stroke arm having a first end connected to a percussion massage head. A pin extends outward at a second end of the stroke arm. A cam has a cam slot formed into the cam such that the pin fits into the cam slot. The cam slot has a length, where the pin is movable from a first end of the cam slot to a second end of the cam slot, where the pin is a first distance from a rotation axis of the cam when positioned at the first end of the cam slot, and the pin is a second distance from the rotation axis of the cam when positioned at the second end of the cam slot. A motor is operable to rotate the cam about the rotation axis, moving the stroke arm along a vibration axis.

STIMULATION DEVICE WITH CHANGE OF SHAPE USING SHAPE-MEMORY ELEMENT
20170281459 · 2017-10-05 · ·

A stimulation device includes a base body, and a contact element attached on or in the base body, for contact with a body part of the user. The contact element has a reversibly deformable contact surface region. A shaping element, to generate a local deformation of the contact element without deforming the base body, is arranged on or in the base body to move in relation to the base body. An actuation device is arranged on or in the base body and operatively connected to the shaping element to generate movement of the shaping element. The actuation device comprises a shape-memory element that can be deformed by applying an electrical current and/or a magnetic field and/or by changing the temperature, and is connected to the base body on one side and to the shaping element on the other side, and, by deforming, causes a movement of the shaping element.
