A system for moving or assisting in movement of a body part of a subject, as well as a rehabilitation system including such a movement assistance system, includes a body part interface configured to be secured to the body part, and a motor-actuated assembly connected to the body part interface to move the body part interface to cause flexion or extension movement of the body part. A force sensing module is configured to measure forces applied between the body part interface and the motor-actuated assembly to ascertain at least one of volitional flexion and volitional extension movement of the body part by the subject, among other functions that may be implemented in movement assistance and rehabilitation systems using the disclosed force sensing module designs.

The pain-relieving apparatus has a housing, a stimulating surface, user inputs, and a plurality of ports, such as a battery port and a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) output connector. The stimulating surface may include a suction ring, vacuum apertures, vibration stimulators, a plate, heat and cold transducer elements, and medicinal holders to provide various approaches for relieving pain. The pain-relieving apparatus may also have a sound speaker for producing nerve stimulating sounds.

A continuously variable speed controller comprises an operating unit, an operation detector coupled to the operating unit to detect a continuous variation of an action of the operating unit, an information processor electrically connected to the operation detector to obtain a corresponding motor speed variation quantity based on a detection result from the operation detector, and a motor controller electrically connected to the information processor to receive the motor speed variation quantity and adjust a speed of the motor continuously based on the motor speed variation quantity. As such, speed control becomes more intuitive, and can achieve stepless speed change, while no need to set the speed switch to occupy the control and detection ports, simplifying structure of the product.

This application relates to an actuation system for assistive wearable devices such as exoskeletons designed to actuate a joint of a wearer of the device. The actuation system includes a differential pulley drum having a first drum portion and a second drum portion, the first drum portion and the second drum portion having different radii. The differential pulley drum is located at a first end of the actuator. The actuation system further includes a motor coupled to the differential pulley drum and configured to rotate the differential pulley drum, a second pulley located at a second end of the actuator, a flexible sleeve that extends between the differential pulley drum and the second pulley, and a strand that extends from the differential pulley drum to the second pulley through the flexible sleeve.

A massage machine includes a casing unit, a drive device, a transmission mechanism, and two massage plate units. Two ends of the transmission mechanism are linked with the massage plate units, respectively. The drive device drives the transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism and the drive device are disposed in the casing unit. The massage plate units are disposed on the casing unit. The massage machine uses a single drive device to drive the transmission mechanism, so that the transmission mechanism can link the two massage plate units to massage a user.

The present disclosure is applicable to the technical field of massage apparatuses, and provides a cambered massager fitted to the outline of a head. The cambered massager includes a first elastic cambered carrier, a first protective wrap layer, a battery unit, a control unit and a button; the first elastic cambered carrier is fitted and assembled to first protective wrap layer to form an overall shell approximate to a cambered head clasp; first protective wrap layer carries several protruding point-like massage units; first massage vibration sources are mounted inside massage units; battery unit is connected to the control unit; the control unit is connected to the first massage vibration sources; the button is connected to control unit; and first massage vibration sources vibrate under control of control unit. The control unit can turn on and turn off first massage vibration sources to vibrate and control vibration strength.

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.

The present disclosure is applicable to the technical field of massage apparatuses, and provides a massage waist pillow. The waist pillow main body includes a sponge waist pillow main body, a massage unit and an air bag; a groove is reserved in an area of the sponge waist pillow main body close to the back of the waist of a user; a support plate is arranged in the groove; the air bag is arranged at a bottom of the groove and is mounted on the support plate; the massage unit is arranged in the groove and above the air bag; and the air bag is located in an interlayer between the massage unit and the support plate.

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.

A vaginal probe with sensing and data transmitting capabilities is shown and described. The probe includes physiological sensors and an optical display including light emitting diodes on a circumferential surface. Data storage and transmission capability is contained in a docking station associated with the probe. Data can be transmitted to a remote location for analysis and/or display.
