MASSAGE NECK PILLOW
The present disclosure is applicable to the technical field of massage apparatuses, and provides a massage neck pillow. The massage neck pillow includes neck pillow sponge, a massage unit and an air bag. The neck pillow sponge adopts an elastic material capable of achieving bending deformation; the neck pillow sponge bends to form a wearing area for clamping the neck of a user; and a reserved sunken part is arranged in an area of the neck pillow sponge close to the nape part of the user.
Driving module and motion assistance apparatus including the same
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.
Actuator-equipped knee ankle foot orthosis
The present invention provides an actuator-equipped knee ankle foot orthosis in which a control device calculates a thigh phase angle based on an angle-related signal detected by a thigh orientation detecting means at one sampling point, applies the thigh phase angle at that sampling point to an assisting force control data, which is stored in the control device in advance and indicates the relationship between the thigh phase angle and a size of the assisting force to be imparted to a lower leg-side brace, to obtain the size of the assisting force to be imparted to the lower leg-side brace at that sampling point, and executes operational control for an actuator unit such that the assisting force having the size is output.
“Wearable sensor devices and systems for patient care”
A system for monitoring performance of a resuscitation activity on a patient by an acute care provider is provided. The system includes: a first wearable sensor configured to sense movement of a first portion of an acute care provider's hand; a second wearable sensor configured to sense movement of a second portion of the acute care provider's hand; and a controller. The controller is configured to: receive and process signals representative of performance of a resuscitation activity from the first sensor and the second sensor; identify from the processed signals information indicative of at least one of a relative distance, a relative orientation, a change in relative distance and a change in relative orientation between the first sensor and the second sensor during performance of the resuscitation activity; and determine at least one resuscitation activity parameter based, at least in part, on the identified information.
Eyesight training device for cognition correction
An eyesight training device for cognition correction which includes a display unit; a user input unit; and a controller for controlling the display unit to overlap a recognition restraining image, which restrains a visual recognition of a recognition image, with the recognition image and to gradually change a concentration value of the recognition restraining image, and for storing, as recognition level information, information corresponding to a concentration value of the recognition restraining image as of a time when a visibility change confirmation input is input through the user input unit of the visibility change confirmation input is input.
Resistive device employing eddy current braking
A resistive device that enables adjustable resistance in at least one direction using an attachment system and associated eddy current braking system. The resistive device can be bench-mounted, in some embodiments, used for physical therapy caused by neuromuscular diseases, such as stroke and cerebral palsy, orthopedic disorders, general disuse, or even for overall fitness.
Orthosis systems and rehabilitation of impaired body parts
Rehabilitating an impaired body part of a subject such as a stroke patient includes systems, devices, and methods using an orthosis system configured to attach to the impaired body part and to move or assist in movement of the impaired body part. A control system is configured to operate the orthosis system in a mode in which the orthosis system first allows the subject to move volitionally or attempt to move volitionally the impaired body part in a predefined motion and then operates to move or assist in the predefined motion of the impaired body part. Additional modes of operation include a brain computer interface mode of operation and a mode in which the orthosis system operates in a continuous passive mode of operation comprising a plurality of repetitions of an exercise to move the impaired body part.
ACTUATOR HANDPIECE FOR A NEUROMUSCULAR STIMULATION DEVICE AND CORRESPONDING NEUROMUSCULAR STIMULATION DEVICE
An actuator handpiece for a neuromuscular stimulation device is described, said handpiece comprising: a head intended to come into contact with a body surface of a patient to be treated with a predetermined application frequency, said head being mounted on one end of a sliding rod having an opposite end provided with a magnet; a coil and an electronic board connected electrically to the coil and designed to generate a magnetic field for the alternating displacement of the magnet and therefore the head between a distal position, in which the head is intended to exert pressure on the body surface, and a proximal pressure-reducing or release position. A Teflon support structure of the coil is housed above a perforated steel plate situated in a plane defined inside a body of the actuator handpiece, the perforated plate being situated around a cylindrical wall of the support structure which, internally, defines a sliding seat for the magnet.
IMPROVED SEXUAL AID DEVICE AND METHOD
An improved sexual aid device, the device including a semi-rigid base member for insertion into a woman's vagina. The semi-rigid flexible base member has a shape generally conforming to the shape of a male penis, and a top section secured to the semi-rigid base member. The top section includes an inflatable bladder, a foam member or a removable member. The top section receives the male penis. The device also may include a second curved external member which is a continuous extension from the base member, such that the device can simultaneously stimulate a woman's vagina and clitoris. Alternatively, the top section may include a removable member, and the device may include one more stimulation means.
DEVICE FOR ASSISTING MOTION OF A JOINT
In some embodiments, a device for assisting motion of a joint may include a first anchor on a first side of the joint, a second anchor on a second side of the joint, a spring operatively coupled to the first anchor and the second anchor, and an actuator operatively coupled to the first anchor and the second anchor. Actuating the actuator may apply a torque about the joint that is resisted by a reaction torque applied to the joint by the spring.
