In one embodiment, a kinetic shape is designed by determining an applied force to be applied to an object that is to incorporate the kinetic shape, determining a reactive force that is desired to be produced in response to the applied force, inputting the applied force and the reactive force into a kinetic shape equation, and solving the equation to obtain the kinetic shape.

A body care apparatus capable of providing optimal therapeutic care for a body of a user is provided. The body care apparatus includes a wearable device worn on the body of the user so as to obtain activity data of the user, a massage chair performing a massage on each body part of the user while supporting the body of the user, a data analyzing unit inferring condition data for each body part of the user according to the activity data obtained from the wearable device, and a controller controlling an operation of the massage chair according to the condition data inferred by the data analyzing unit. The body care apparatus may infer the condition data by deep learning of an artificial intelligence algorithm or a sensor fusion.

A psychosomatic state adjustment support device includes: a storage section that stores a target psychosomatic state for each destination of a moving body; a specification section that specifies a current psychosomatic state of an occupant of the moving body; an acquisition section that acquires a destination of the moving body; a deciding section that decides a vibration pattern based on the target psychosomatic state according to the destination and the current psychosomatic state; and a control section that applies a vibration stimulation to the occupant by causing a vibration applying section provided in a seat on which the occupant is seated to vibrate based on the vibration pattern.

A system for facilitating resuscitation includes: a first electrode assembly having a therapy side and a first motion sensor; a second electrode assembly having a therapy side and a second motion sensor; processing circuitry operatively connected to and programmed to receive and process signals from the first and second motion sensors to estimate at least one of a chest compression depth and rate during administration of chest compressions and to compare the chest compression depth or rate to a desired range; and an output device for providing instructions to a user to administer chest compressions based on the comparison of the estimated chest compression depth or rate to the desired range. One or both of the electrode assemblies may be constructed so that the conductive therapeutic portion is able to maintain substantial conformance to the anatomy of the patient when coupled thereto. For example, at least a portion of the flexible electrode pad may be able to flex from a more rigid sensor housing, or the sensor housing itself may be relatively small compared to the flexible electrode pad so as not to cause lift off of the therapeutic side from the patient.

A spinal therapy apparatus includes one or more manipulating assemblies. In some examples a first manipulating member is arranged to engage a spine at a first vertebral area between a spinous process and a transverse process on a first side of a spine and a second manipulating member is arranged to engage the spine at a second vertebral area between a spinous process and a transverse process on the first side of the spine. The first and second manipulating members are coupled together at their proximal ends to permit the first and second manipulating members to be driven simultaneously and the coupling permits motion of the first and second manipulating members relative to one another in an axial direction. In other examples a drive system is adapted to drive first and second manipulating members simultaneously and independently. The disclosure also relates to a spinal therapy bed including such manipulating assemblies and methods of using and training spinal therapy devices.

A system to manage the sleep and/or the well-being of a passenger/user of an aircraft includes a chair to be installed in a cabin of the aircraft and interaction devices to interact with the user. The system further includes a user terminal configured to receive data relating to characteristics of a user profile of the user, and a control/command module connected to the user terminal, interaction devices and a database storing information relating to characteristics of a flight of the aircraft. The command/control module being configured to pilot the interaction devices according to the data relating to characteristics of the user profile and characteristics of the flight of the aircraft.

The present disclosure is applicable to the technical field of massage apparatuses, and provides a massage waist pillow. The waist pillow main body includes a sponge waist pillow main body, a massage unit and an air bag; a groove is reserved in an area of the sponge waist pillow main body close to the back of the waist of a user; a support plate is arranged in the groove; the air bag is arranged at a bottom of the groove and is mounted on the support plate; the massage unit is arranged in the groove and above the air bag; and the air bag is located in an interlayer between the massage unit and the support plate.

A remotely controlled powered chair may include a support frame, a seat pivotally mounted on the support frame, an rotary actuator mounted between the support frame and the seat to drive the seat to move relative to the support frame, a backrest pivotally mounted on the seat, and a linear actuator mounted between the seat and the backrest to drive the backrest to move relative to the seat. Thus, the rotary actuator may be controlled by an electrically control device to drive the seat to pivot relative to the support frame reciprocally in a pendulum manner so that the seat is pivoted relative to the support frame automatically. In addition, the linear actuator may be controlled by the electrically control device to adjust the inclined angle of the backrest so as to provide a comfortable sensation to the user. A remotely controlled powered chair may include a base assembly. A chair frame is supported on the base assembly. An actuator mechanism may communicate with the base assembly and the chair frame, and is operable to actuate the chair frame between first and second positions.

A device for training and rehabilitation of a limb is provided. The device provides a board with a plurality of movement tracks to allow for controlled movement of the limb in various directions. Blockers and other controlling structures may be arranged on the device to limit range of motion of the movement of the limb.

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle seat comprising a seating portion and a backrest, the seat further comprising at least one vibration device. The vibration device(s) are arranged in one or more of the following authorized spaces: a first authorized space in the backrest, which is defined by predefined ranges; a second authorized space in the seating portion, which is defined by predefined ranges; these ranges being defined with respect to an orthonormal coordinate system (H, x, y, z) whose origin is the point H which is the seating reference point of the seat, for which the x axis extends horizontally from the rear to the front of the seating portion, for which the y axis extends horizontally from the right to the left of the seat, and for which the z axis extends vertically from the bottom to the top of the backrest.
