More particularly, disclosed is a massage chair comprising: a seat 200; a back support portion 100 rotatably mounted on one side of the seat 200; a calf massage portion 400 rotatably mounted on the other side of the seat 200; and a manipulation portion 600 capable of adjusting movements of the back support portion 100 and the calf massage portion 400, in which the manipulation portion 600 includes: a shoulder height measurement module 610 for measuring the shoulder height of the user; a hip bone location prediction module 620 for predicting the hip bone location by using a preset first method with reference to the shoulder height measured by the shoulder height measurement module 610; a massage location determination module 630 for determining a plurality of massage locations based on the hip bone location predicted by the hip bone location prediction module 620; and a massage mode selection module 640 for selecting one massage mode of a plurality of previously-stored massage modes based on the plurality of massage locations determined by the massage location determination module 630, thereby massaging the plurality of massage locations determined by the massage location determination module 630 in accordance with the massage mode selected by the massage mode selection module 640.

Examples of a motion guiding device of a target joint of a target body are disclosed. The device allows three degree-of-freedom (DOF) motion about a remote center of rotation that is approximately aligned to a center of rotation of the target joint. The device comprises a base adjustably connected to the target body and three rotary joints interconnected with a network of linkages. One end of the network of linkages is connected to the base and the opposite end to an effector plate. At least one of the three rotary joints is not aligned with an axes of motion of the target joint and any of these rotary joints may be positioned under angle with respect to the others. Each of the rotary joints provides one DOF of rotary motion about the respective axes and each axis of the three rotary joints intersect at the remote center of rotation. The geometry of the network of linkages is adjustable to adjust a position of the remote center of rotation in three dimensions. The three rotary joints and the network of linkages rotate the effector plate about the remote center of rotation that is approximately align with the center of rotation of the target joint. This system may be connected with one or more parallel branches for additional actuation.

A leg massager achieves easy changing of massaging positions and is also adaptable to user's legs of varying lengths by using a position-adjustable massaging system for performing massage on massage target areas of a user's legs. The leg massager includes a lower massaging system for massaging a massage target area of the user's leg including at least the user's foot; an upper massaging system for massaging an upper massage target area located above the massage target area which is massaged by the lower massaging system; a rockably supporting system that supports the upper massaging system for rocking motion about a horizontal-pointing axis in a front-rear direction; and a vertically moving system that permits up-and-down movement of the upper massaging system.

An orthopaedic device includes an upper exoskeleton (2, 4) and a lower exoskeleton (6), and a receiving actuator having a pivot-connection member (10). The exoskeleton is hinged with respect to one another via the pivot-connection member. A receiving transmission device (30) is designed to be able to transmit a movement to the pivot-connection member. At least a first hydraulic cylinder (20) is coupled to the receiving transmission device so as to be able to rotate said pivot-connection member. An emitting actuator has at least a first hydraulic emitting cylinder (51, 55), an emitting transmission device (60), and a motor device (70) coupled to the emitting transmission device. At least one pressurized-fluid-guiding line (42, 45) is designed to allow a hydraulic transmission of movement from the first emitting cylinder to the receiving actuator.

Disclosed are devices and systems designed to assist an examiner in assessing the level of pain sensitivity in a patient, along with methods of using of the devices and/or systems. The device contains a tip for applying pressure to a point of the patient's body; a pressure sensor used to measure the pressure; a displacement sensor used to measure the depth of probing; and an optional third sensor used to measure temperature. The device can therefore simultaneously measure the pressure applied by the probe and the distance travelled by the tip of said probe (i.e. the displacement achieved). The device can be included in a system, which receives the data from the aforementioned sensors, and the patient's perceived pain value on a scale of 1-10. These values can be analyzed over time (i.e. over multiple applications of the device) to permit the examiner to use the data obtained to assess potential changes in the level of pain or discomfort and/or amount of healing of the patient.
