A device and a method for identifying a motion pattern of a person that allow suitable feedback about an identified motion pattern to be produced in real time, to address the disadvantage that there is no provision for direct feedback to the person in the event of abnormal behavior being detected. This is achieved by virtue of a device for identifying a motion pattern of a person having at least one sensor for capturing motion parameters and at least one evaluation unit, which is couplable to the at least one sensor, for evaluating the motion parameters and for producing a motion pattern.

The present disclosure relates to a massage device capable of repositioning when a power failure occurs, comprising: an energy storage unit that stores electrical energy supplied from a power supply unit; an input unit that receives an input from a user when the electric energy supply is cut off from the power supply unit; a back angle actuator that receives, on the basis of the input unit, electric energy from the energy storage unit and moves a body massage unit such that the massage device is in an initial state; and a leg angle actuator that receives, on the basis of the input unit, electric energy from the energy storage unit and moves a leg massage unit such that the massage device is in an initial state.

Provided are a method and apparatus for adjusting a control parameter value in association with a torque output to provide a force to a user, which, when the user performs a test walk while wearing a wearable device, assesses suitability of the control parameter value used for outputting the torque based on the torque output through the test walk and state information of a joint of the user and adjusts the control parameter value such that the user feels convenience in walking, in order to adjust the control parameter value.

A walking support system is a walking support system which supports walking of a user, and includes a display unit, a landing timing detection unit configured to detect landing at the time of walking of the user, a target landing timing setting unit configured to set a target landing timing of the user on the basis of an output of the landing timing detection unit, and a display control unit configured to cause the display unit to display an auxiliary image prompting the user to land at the target landing timing.

A device for performing individual movement analysis and movement therapy on a patient includes a control and analysis unit configured to control a first intervention device in such a way that a first trajectory of the movement of an extremity of the patient is disrupted by a force exerted by a movement module onto the extremity of the patient. A response to this disruption is measured by changed measured values from at least one force sensor and/or at least one angle sensor, and a new, second trajectory is calculated therefrom. New control parameters for controlling the first intervention device are calculated from a comparison of the second trajectory with the first trajectory and/or a target trajectory or the comparison of the disrupted measured values with the non-disrupted measured values.

A walking training system according to an embodiment includes: a treadmill; a foot sole load detection unit configured to detect load received from foot soles of a trainee aboard a belt of the treadmill; a first photographing device configured to photograph the trainee from a lateral side; a skeletal information acquisition unit configured to acquire first skeletal information that is skeletal information on the trainee in a sagittal plane from an image photographed by the first photographing device; and a specification unit configured to specify respective pieces of skeletal information on a right leg and a left leg included in the first skeletal information acquired by the skeletal information acquisition unit, based on the load received from the foot soles of the trainee detected by the foot sole load detection unit.

Monitoring patient compliance with a compression therapy regimen. Venous Refill Time (VRT) is monitored via a pressure sensor in a bladder of a compression system. A controller of the compression system correlates the monitored VRT to a predetermined threshold to determine whether the patient is using the compression system.

A rotational structure is configured such that a hollow portion, in which a base member is opposed to a rotational member, is formed around a shaft member. An encoder provided in the hollow portion includes a detection target member rotated together with one of the rotational member and the base member and having a physical quantity changing in a circumferential direction, and a detector capable of detecting the physical quantity of the detection target element and rotated together with the other of the rotational member and the base member.

An exoskeleton fitness device, particularly for exercising a human body, comprises a wearable structure having at least one fastening member, the at least one fastening member configured to fasten the wearable structure to a user's body, at least one mechanical joint having at least one axis of rotation and at least one degree-of-freedom, the at least one mechanical joint fastened to the wearable structure, at least one unit for generating a rotational resistance that counteracts a rotational movement of the at least one mechanical joint, and a controller for controlling the rotational resistance, wherein the controller is configured to control the rotational resistance according to a user setting.

An exoskeleton wear management method is provided. The method includes receiving inertial data from a sensing system; determining whether a left leg component of an exoskeleton device is parallel to a left leg of a user and a right leg component of the exoskeleton device is parallel to a right leg of the user according to the received inertial data; in response to determining that the left leg component/the right leg component is not parallel to the left leg/the right leg of the user, prompting an adjusting left leg component message/an adjusting right leg component message; and in response to determining that the left leg component is parallel to the left leg of the user and the right leg component is parallel to the right leg of the user, prompting a left leg component and right leg component correctly-worn message.
