This specification describes an adaptive robotic nursing assistant for physical tasks and patient observation and feedback. In some examples, the adaptive robotic nursing assistant includes an omni-directional mobile platform; a footrest on the omni-directional mobile platform; a handlebar located above the footrest such that a user standing on the footrest can grasp the handlebar; a display above the handlebar and at least one user input device; a robot manipulator comprising a robotic arm and an end effector on the robotic arm; and a control system coupled to the omni-directional mobile platform, the control system comprising at least one processor and memory storing executable instructions for the at least one processor to control the omni-directional mobile platform.

A robotic system, assembly and computer assisted media for providing therapeutic treatment not limited to muscle lengthening. An adjustable probe is mounted to a carriage, in turn supported in width and depth extending relationship upon a portable trolley supported frame or other movable carriage which can be positioned over a patient support device for applying treatment to a given patient muscle areas according input parameters selected from any of heat, cold, vibration (frequency), pulse pressure and duration. A processor input for any of a PC, tablet, laptop or smartphone with mobile application communicates with the software component for providing directions to actuate the probe to apply a treatment protocol. The input can be communicated remotely via NFC, Bluetooth or Cloud capabilities with a remote care provider or ACO organization.

A method and device or machine for safely providing or performing the motion of circumduction as well as linear hip flexion/extension to a patient in need is provided. The device or machine (used interchangeable herein) is preferably a continuous passive movement device. The device gives full support to the operative leg and controls the true amount of hip external/internal rotation by keeping the hip in a neutral position, relative to rotation. In operation, the patient is typically in a side-lying position with the operative leg on top. In this position, the motion of circumduction as well as linear hip flexion/extension can then be performed on the patients safely and effectively. Other positions of the patient can be used and will usually be patient specific.

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of rehabilitation medical devices, and in particular relates to a pose-adjustable rigid-flexible coupled waist rehabilitation robot. The robot comprises a fixed platform, a movable platform connected to the fixed platform, a lumbar vertebra support assembly mounted on the movable platform, and two support airbags symmetrically arranged at both sides of the lumbar vertebra support assembly. The lumbar vertebra support assembly comprises a plurality of bellow air bags arranged in parallel. By controlling the pressure in a plurality of bellow air bags arranged in parallel, the lumbar vertebra support assembly at the lumbar vertebra position can be adjusted to different curvatures to adapt to different patients, such that the lumbar vertebra support assembly can support the lumbar vertebra part of the patient in a perfectly fitting manner to guarantee the comfort in the rehabilitation training process.

A exoskeleton finger rehabilitation training device comprises an exoskeleton finger rehabilitation training mechanism comprising a supporting base, a finger sleeve actuating mechanism, and a finger joint sleeve connected to a power output end of the finger sleeve actuating mechanism, wherein the finger joint sleeve can be sheathed at the periphery of a finger joint to be rehabilitated, and the finger joint sleeve can be driven by the power actuation of the finger sleeve actuating mechanism to drive the finger joint to be rehabilitated in order to passively bend or stretch; the supporting base comprises a profiled shell, with an inner surface of the profiled shell being configured based on the profile of the complete back of a palm or part of the back of the palm, and with the back of the profiled shell being provided with a power fixed base.

In one embodiment, a handheld device for applying therapy includes a housing, a handle coupled to the housing, a motor supported in the housing, a movable head coupled to the motor, and a contact pad of high-friction, grippy, non-slip material supported on the movable head. The motor is operable to impart to the movable head and the contact pad one or more of translational, rotational, or revolutionary motions that are generally in a plane parallel to the skin of a patient during operation.

The present disclosure provides an exoskeleton-type wearable robot. The exoskeleton-type wearable robot includes a first fixing unit configured to be worn on the body of the wearer, a first connection unit rotatably connected to the first fixing unit, a second connection unit spaced apart from the first connection unit and connected to the first connection unit via a first link assembly, and a second fixing unit connected to the arm or the leg of the wearer and connected to the second connection unit via a second link assembly.

A system, method, and apparatus are provided for generating a dynamic, autonomous, machine-learning, and modifiable therapeutic massage plan. A system, method, and apparatus are provided for determining and executing the motion planning for directing one or more robotic arms to execute a sequence of motions while maintaining contact between their end effectors and a subject.

A multimodal human-robot interaction system for compensation movement of a hemiplegic upper limb includes a compensation monitoring module, a compensation evaluation module and a compensation reducing module. The compensation reducing module includes a robot and a virtual reality system. The robot assists the hemiplegic upper limb in performing rehabilitation training, and adjusts a training action according to a compensation monitoring result and evaluation of compensation to realize passive reducing of compensation movement of the hemiplegic upper limb. The compensation monitoring module acquires data during a rehabilitation therapy. The compensation evaluation module processes and analyzes comprehensive data of the hemiplegic upper limb to obtain the evaluation of compensation. The virtual reality system displays a rehabilitation training scene, a real-time movement posture of the hemiplegic upper limb and the evaluation of compensation and instructs a patient to reduce the compensation movement using visual display and voice feedback.

Exercise robot suitable for rehabilitation and methods of its operation are provided. In particular a method in which the exercise robot learns an exercise movement on the basis of movements conducted by the aid of a human assistant holding the leg of a patient and moving the leg with muscular form to conduct an exercise movement. The rehabilitation robot actively accompanies the exercise movement in an active compliance mode and records the movement so as to determine an exercise movement stored in the control unit of the device. The rehabilitation robot can then produce the determined exercise in an exercise mode.
