A spine board is provided having a skull tong anchor assembly slidably attached to the spine board where a push rod mechanism is used to apply traction force on the skull tong anchor assembly. The push rod mechanism includes a strain gauge device so that the traction force can be selected and monitored. The spine board can also include a mattress that can be attached to the spine board where the mattress includes integrated shoulder straps that can be partially detached therefrom to secure a patient to the spine board.

A driving module including a driving source configured to generate power, a gear train including a decelerating gear set configured to receive driving power from the driving source and a ring gear attached to one side thereof, and a rotary joint including at least one planetary gear configured to rotate using power received from an output end of the decelerating gear set and to revolve along the ring gear is disclosed.

A method for correcting a massage position and a massage chair for performing the same includes allowing a shoulder height measurement module to measure a shoulder height of a user, allowing a hip bone position prediction module to predict a hip bone position through a preset prediction method by using the shoulder height measured by the shoulder height measurement module, allowing a massage position determination module to determine a plurality of determination massage positions and a plurality of correction massage positions spaced from the determination massage positions by a predetermined distance on the basis of the hip bone position predicted by the hip bone position prediction module, and allowing a massage ball assembly control module to control a massage ball assembly so as to massage the determination massage positions and the correction massage positions determined by the massage position determination module.

The present patent document relates to automatic equipment for performing orthopedic and physiotherapeutic procedures for passive motion of the knee joint (patellofemoral and tibiofemoral), incorporating three motion units: knee flexion and extension motion unit; internal and external rotation motion unit of the knee; and a multidirectional patellar mobilization unit (lower-upper and medial-lateral), an external support for multidirectional patellar mobilizer and a control unit. The flexion and extension motion unit is comprised of a mechanical and electronic structure on which the leg rests during use thereof and has at least two supports for supporting the leg located in the back region of the thigh and in the back region of the leg (calf); the internal and external rotation motion unit of the knee is comprised of a structure with a support for the leg and a support for the foot region (sole region) coupled to a knee flexion and extension motion unit; and the multidirectional patellar mobilization unit is comprised of a receptacle on which a retainer and an actuating element are disposed.

A walker specialized for use on trails by pushing and walking, rather than riding on, with no drivetrain is provided. The walker can include a frame, two inline wheels, and a handlebar steering mechanism. The walker can further include a braking mechanism, an elbow rest, an electric motor, and racks and/or carriers for gear.

Disclosed herein are systems for applying pneumatic compression to a portion of a body comprising: a wrap comprising at least two air bladders; and a control unit. The control unit is configured to control the air pressure in the at least two air bladders. The control unit includes an electro-mechanically autonomous system configured to achieve synchronization between the wrap and one or more additional wraps.

A temperature controllable wrap assembly that includes a wrap portion configured to be worn around a user's body part, and at least a first temperature control module positioned on the wrap portion. The first temperature control module includes a housing, a controllable temperature element, a spreader member and at least a first finger spreader pivotably attached to the spreader member. The lower surface of the spreader member is positioned to contact the user's body part. The controllable temperature element is configured to transfer thermal energy to an upper surface of the spreader member, and the spreader member is configured to conduct thermal energy to the first finger spreader.

A robotic assembly comprises a first joint comprising first and second support members rotatably coupled together, and a joint position restoration assembly coupled to at least one of the first or second support members. The joint position restoration assembly can comprise a first spring and a mechanical linkage, wherein the joint position restoration assembly is operable to apply a restoring torque to the first joint. The joint position restoration assembly can be configured to provide a restoring torque versus joint position profile relative to the first joint that corresponds to known mass properties of at least a portion of the robotic assembly acting on or otherwise associated with the first joint, such that, when the first joint is not undergoing powered actuation, the joint position restoration assembly operates to apply, based on the profile, the restoring torque to position and to support the first joint in a stable support position.

A device and a method for identifying a motion pattern of a person that allow suitable feedback about an identified motion pattern to be produced in real time, to address the disadvantage that there is no provision for direct feedback to the person in the event of abnormal behavior being detected. This is achieved by virtue of a device for identifying a motion pattern of a person having at least one sensor for capturing motion parameters and at least one evaluation unit, which is couplable to the at least one sensor, for evaluating the motion parameters and for producing a motion pattern.

The present disclosure relates to a massage device capable of repositioning when a power failure occurs, comprising: an energy storage unit that stores electrical energy supplied from a power supply unit; an input unit that receives an input from a user when the electric energy supply is cut off from the power supply unit; a back angle actuator that receives, on the basis of the input unit, electric energy from the energy storage unit and moves a body massage unit such that the massage device is in an initial state; and a leg angle actuator that receives, on the basis of the input unit, electric energy from the energy storage unit and moves a leg massage unit such that the massage device is in an initial state.
