Compression device
A compression device has a main body and a wrap. The main body has an air pump and a valve assembly. The valve assembly has a manifold, multiple first valves, and multiple air connectors. The manifold connects the air pump and the first valves. The air connectors are connected to the first valves respectively. The wrap is used for wrapping a human limb and has an air bag. The air bag has multiple pockets. The pockets are isolated from each other and connected to the air connectors respectively. Thus, each pocket can compress a part of the human limb independently. With the independent pockets, the compression device may compress a specified part of the human limb rather than the whole wrapped human limb. Moreover, with the pockets independently compressing and relaxing, the wrapped human limb may experience a massage, which helps the wrapped human limb to relax and recover.
MASSAGE APPARATUS SYSTEM
A massaging apparatus system with a body having at least one shoulder strap, and a back panel, both with first inner layer, a second inner layer, a first outer layer and a second outer layer; an opening on the body and an opening fastener; at least one massage head; a control circuit with at least one cable connected to the massage heads, a substantially closed storage space between the first inner layer and the second inner layer. The first outer layer communicates with the user when worn. The first inner layer having a small storage space fixed firmly on the first inner layer and configured to receive the at least one massage head and having a second opening for the at least one massage head and cable to go through.
TELEKINETIC BIONIC GLOVE ASSEMBLY
A telekinetic bionic glove assembly having a glove assembly, first and second boxes attached to the glove assembly, an arm box, and an electrical lead assembly connected to the arm box. The glove assembly has string guides positioned on glove fingers. The glove assembly also has a main bar and bands positioned at a glove back face, and a thumb splint. The first box has strings, motors, a motor controller, and reels. The second box has a voltage regulator, a battery, and a computer. The arm box has an arm box computer, an arm box voltage regulator, a bio-signal amplifier, an arm box battery, and arm box switch. The electrical lead assembly has electrical leads, lead heads, electrodes, and adhesive pads. The glove assembly operates, whereby the glove fingers open and close in response to voltage spikes as results of eye movements.
VIBROTACTILE STIMULATION DEVICE
A vibrotactile stimulation device intended to be applied against a body medium (MC) to be stimulated, produced in the form of a functional unit, comprising a vibrating effector suitable for applying, to said medium, pulses of mechanical vibrational energy, and a controller for controlling the effector according to stimulation rules. The functional unit further houses a first electrode suitable for cooperating with at least one second electrode separated from the first electrode in order to supply signals representative of a cardiac activity and a muscular activity on the medium to be stimulated, said controller being sensitive to cardiac activity and muscular activity signals in order to influence the stimulation. The stimulation device may be used for body stimulation in combating sleep apnea, with improved detection.
PRESSURE APPLICATION GARMENT
A pressure application relating to a garment that includes at least one active part for applying pressure to at least one body part of a subject and the active part includes at least one bladder fillable with a fluid so as to obtain a homogeneous positive pressure applied to the whole of the corresponding at least one body part of the subject, the pressure application garment also including for the or each active part, at least one interface pressure sensor, a control unit, and a driving module wherein the pressure application garment further includes at least one sheet of a fabric made of at least three superimposed layers.
Apparatus and method for reduction of neurological movement disorder symptoms using wearable device
A multimodal wearable band which uses mechanical vibrations to stimulate sensory neurons in the wrist or ankle in order to reduce the severity of tremors, rigidity, involuntary muscle contractions, and bradykinesia caused by neurological movement disorders and to free users from freezing induced by movement disorders. The device uses sensors to provide output used by a processing unit to determine the optimal stimulation pattern for each user and to determine when stimulation is necessary, and then uses one or more vibration motors to accordingly stimulate the user's neurological pathways to lessen the severity of a user's symptoms. The device can also be adapted to integrate with 3rd party devices.
EXOSKELETON JOINT SELF-LOCKING MECHANISM, KNEE JOINT, AND BIONIC REHABILITATION ROBOT
An exoskeleton joint self-locking mechanism, a knee joint and a bionic rehabilitation robot are provided. The self-locking mechanism comprises a first base, a rotating outward expanding locking member, a second base and a locking driving member; the rotating outward expanding locking member comprises a first rotating frame and a second rotating frame, and outer sides of the first rotating frame and the second rotating frame have a first friction surface; one end of the first rotating frame is pivoted with one end of the second rotating frame; the second base is rotationally mounted on the first base, and an inner wall of the second base defines a second friction surface enclosing the first friction surface; the locking driving member applies/removes a force pushing away from free ends of the first rotating frame and the second rotating frame, to make the first friction surface lock/unlock the second friction surface.
METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PNEUMATIC GLOVE AND DEVICE FOR POWER-ASSISTED TRAINING FOR HAND OF PATIENT
A method for controlling a pneumatic glove includes: S1, regulating an air pressure of a pneumatic glove to enable the pneumatic glove to be in a natural flexion state, and obtaining a current air pressure value of the pneumatic glove, detected by an air pressure detection unit at a current moment, as an initial air pressure; S2, setting an air pressure threshold according to the initial air pressure; adjusting an internal air path of the pneumatic gloves to a closed air path, and when the pneumatic glove is worn on a hand of a patient, obtaining the current air pressure of the pneumatic glove detected by the air pressure detection unit, and determining an expected movement trend of the hand of the patient according to the current air pressure and air pressure threshold; S3, regulating the air pressure in the pneumatic glove according to the expected movement trend.
SPINAL TRACTION DEVICE
A platform for providing spinal traction. Separate planar members having a generally flat and horizontal surface provide a platform for a user, who positions himself or herself in a supine position on a first planar member and a second planar member that form the platform. The first planar member has spaced apart vertical members that engage the user's underarms. The second planar member comprises a restraining member that surrounds the user at approximately the waist of the user. A drive apparatus allows the user to selectively and progressively separate the first planar member from the second planar member so that the vertical members pull the upper torso away from the lower portion of the person's body that is held in position relative to the second planar member by the restraining member.
Method for manufacturing and controlling rehabilitation glove based on bidirectional driver of honeycomb imitating structure
A rehabilitation glove based on a bidirectional driver of a honeycomb imitating structure, including five bidirectional drivers and a cotton glove. The drivers are fixed to a back of the glove through hook and loop fasteners. Each driver includes a hollow buckling air bag in a continuous bent state, a middle guide layer in a continuous bent state and a hollow stretching air bag. The buckling air bag and the middle guide layer are symmetrically arranged, and the stretching air bag in a straightened state is arranged below the middle guide layer. A novel bidirectional driver of a honeycomb imitating structure is provided, which may provide a patient with rehabilitation training in two degrees of freedom: buckling and stretching. A control algorithm of the bidirectional driver is further provided to perform force control output for the driver, which may better help the patient recover hand functions.
