ORTHOPEDIC DEVICE FOR AMBULATION ASSISTANCE AND SUITED FOR USE IN GAIT REHABILITATION OF THE TYPE INCLUDING MEANS FOR SPREADING THE THIGHS OF THE PATIENT APART
20230122840 · 2023-04-20 ·

A gait rehabilitation device includes a stand equipped with casters spaced apart along the width and the length of the stand. Two movable arms forming a pedal crank, each arm comprising a first end rotatably mounted on the device about an axis parallel to the width of the stand. The wedging element to wedge the patient’s foot/leg is adjustable and lockable according to the width of the device. The thigh/leg spreader to adjustably space the patient’s thighs/legs on either side of the saddle support is configured to follow the alternating movement of the patient’s lower limbs. The position setting of the wedging element according to the width of the device is independent of the space setting of the thigh/leg spreader.

A wheelchair includes massaging units integral with both the seat and the backrest. A first massaging unit includes a plurality of vibrating members positioned about the periphery of the backrest that can be activated simultaneously, sequentially, individually or in a random pattern to knead the user's back, shoulders and neck. A second massaging unit includes motorized massaging discs that rotate and linearly reciprocate to provide a unique “rolling” massage to the buttocks and thighs.

CONTROL OF SEXUAL STIMULATION DEVICES USING MOTION-SENSING CONTROLLERS
20220323292 · 2022-10-13 ·

A system and method for controlling sexual stimulation devices using motion-sensing controllers. The system comprises a male sexual stimulation device and a motion sensing controller configured to control the operation of the reciprocating linear motion driver. In operation, natural motions of a user with the motion sensing controller result in corresponding motions of the male sexual stimulation device such as reciprocal linear motions and rotational motions.

Soft exosuit for assistance with human motion

In at least one aspect, there is provided a system for generating force about one or more joints including a soft exosuit having a plurality of anchor elements and at least one connection element disposed between the plurality of anchor elements. The system also includes at least one sensor to determine a force the at least one connection element or at least one of the plurality of anchor elements and to output signals relating to the force, at least one actuator configured to change a tension in the soft exosuit and at least one controller configured to receive the signals output from the at least one sensor and actuate the at least one actuator responsive to the received signals.

PASSIVE EXOSKELETON FOR SIT-TO-STAND AND STAND-TO-SIT TRANSFER
20230111298 · 2023-04-13 ·

A wearable passive exoskeleton device for sit-to-stand and/or stand-to-sit transfer includes a leg exoskeleton frame configured to be worn at a user's leg and a lever arm rotatably coupled to the leg exoskeleton frame so as to provide a handle for the user to move between a sitting position and a standing position (or between a kneeling position and a standing position). The lever arm is rotatable with respect to the leg exoskeleton frame between a stowed position and a deployed position. The lever arm may be a unidirectional lever arm configured to rotate only in a first rotational direction with respect to the leg exoskeleton frame such that a pushing or pulling force exerted in a second rotational direction transmits an assisting force to the user to assist in a sit-to-stand and/or stand-to-sit movement.

Ball roller assemblies with thermal components
11622910 · 2023-04-11 · ·

A ball roller assembly may include an inner sphere that is constructed from a thermal-sensitive material. The ball roller assembly may also include an outer sphere that is constructed from a thermal-conductive material. The inner sphere may be disposed within the outer sphere and thermal transfer may occur between the inner sphere, the outer sphere, and a user of the ball roller assembly. The ball roller assembly may further include a housing constructed from a thermal-insulative material, and the outer sphere and the inner sphere may be disposed within the housing. The inner sphere may be selectively removable from the outer sphere and the outer sphere may be selectively removable from the housing.
