The invention relates to a system for adjusting pressure locally acting on the skin. Said system includes a set of adjacent modules distributed so as to form a layer. Each module includes a cushion capable of changing shape and comprising a cavity, a valve, a tank, and a pressure sensor, wherein the cavity and the tank are in communication with each other by means of the valve, and the sensor is placed so as to sense pressure directly or indirectly acting on the cushion. The system also includes a feedback loop arranged such as to increase or decrease the change in the shape of the cushion on the basis of the pressure detected by the sensor. The system according to the invention can be built into a shoe so as to re-establish normal plantar pressure under the entire sole of the foot, which is particularly desirable for athletes or for patients suffering from diabetes mellitus or leprosy. It is also possible to incorporate the system according to the invention into a (bed or wheelchair) mattress so as to prevent decubitus ulcers in patients with neurological diseases (hemiplegia, paraplegia, tetraplegia, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and any other sensory and/or motor deficit diseases.

A chair (1) for relieving back pain of a user, with a seat surface (2) and a backrest (3), wherein a backrest angle (4) between backrest (3) and seat surface (2) is adaptable. At least one support element (5) for supporting the upper body of the user, when the latter is in an intended sitting position, is arranged on the backrest (3), wherein the support element (5), in the intended sitting position, can preferably be arranged, or is arranged, under the armpits of the user. The support element (5) is designed in such a way, and arranged on the backrest in such a way, that it can be moved by the user in order to obtain a desired support of the upper body at a predefined backrest angle (4) while he is in the intended sitting position.

In various embodiments, provided herein are systems, methods, processes, and devices for providing locomotive rehabilitation to a subject via one or more gait motions that substantially accurately mimic motions performed in healthy, natural gait cycles. The system may mimic natural gait motions via footplates and handles, and one or more linkage systems. In particular embodiments, the system may further include a motor unit and/or clutch for providing controlled forces assisting or resisting motions of a linkage system. Further, the system may include a tower for operating in a standing or seated position. In at least one embodiment, the system includes a body weight support system that provides offloading forces to a subject.

Systems, devices, and methods for relieving muscle pain that may include a massage roller; one or more arms at least partially disposed within the massage roller, wherein each arm of the one or more arms has a length greater than the diameter of the massage roller and slides freely across the diameter of the massage roller; and two or more movable protuberances, where each of the two or more movable protuberances is disposed at each end of each arm.

A rollator having a first side frame and a second side frame; the first side frame comprising a first side frame intervening structural portion; the second rolling side frame comprising a second side frame intervening structural portion; a central platform having a first platform side and a second platform side; and first and second track mechanisms respectively coupling the first and second side portions to the first and second platform sides of the central platform; the first and second track mechanisms permitting independent movement of said first and second side frames relative to said central platform.

A machine that combines three sections bound to each other by the corresponding dynamic swivels that are driven from a remote control of adjustment and command (R). The first section constitutes the main body (A) wherein a fixed frame whereby a sliding carriage (D) is defined, which is arranged associated with a first motor reducer (M1) which drives its rectilinear movement, in the horizontal plane and in both senses; said sliding carriage (D), by one end, is bound to an intermediate arm (B), which makes up the second section of the machine, being arranged over a pivoting transverse axis that is into a first dynamic swivel, which is arranged associated to a second driving motor reducer (M2) so that said intermediate arm (B) may make a pivoting movement in the vertical plane, with circular direction in both senses; said intermediate arm (B), by its other end, is bound to a head of the massage actuator (C), that makes up the third section of the machine, being arranged over a transverse axis that forms a second dynamic swivel, which is arranged associated to a third driving motor reducer (M3) so that said head of massage actuator may make a pivoting movement in the vertical plane, with circular direction in both senses; an actuator piston (P) is arranged into the head of the massage actuator (C) which transforms the rotating movement that transmits the output axis of a fourth motor reducer into an alternative linear movement that is transmitted to the piston for massage (23); constituting the four motor reducers an electronic driving installation by remote control, through which the positioning of each of the mobile parts duly bound to the rotating coders and end-of-travel positions is commanded. The electronic driving installation is comprised of the electronic controlling plate (E) installed in the main body (A) and includes a remote control processor (MP2) that receives the order, processes the information and sends it through the FR antenna (a4) of the remote control (R), to the FR antenna (a1) of the electronic system (E) installed into the machine, that communicates the information to its processor (MP1). The electronic installation of remote control includes the option of saving, through memories, the previous adjustment that the user establishes in each case.

[Problem] To allow a travel base to be self-propelled in accordance with a pace of a gait trainee without manual operation of the travel base by the gait trainee in accordance with his/her pace, and to prevent the gait trainee from being pulled forward or rearward by the travel base even if the self-propelled speed of the travel base does not perfectly match the pace of the gait trainee.

[Solution] A lifting device is hung in a manner relatively displaceable in the front-and-rear direction within a predetermined range with respect to the travel base that can be self-propelled in the front-and-rear direction, and a control device is provided with respect to the travel base. The control device causes the travel base to be self-propelled forward when the gait trainee moves forward and thus the lifting device is relatively displaced forward with respect to the travel base within the predetermined range, and causes self-propelling of the travel base to stop when the travel base is self-propelled forward faster than the gait trainee moves and then the lifting device is relatively displaced rearward with respect to the travel base within the predetermined range, thereby causing the travel base to be self-propelled forward in accordance with a pace of the gait trainee.
