An apparatus for a battery-powered active exoskeleton boot includes a shin pad and one or more housings. The one or more housings enclose electronic circuitry and an electric motor. The apparatus includes a battery holder coupled to the shin pad and located below the knee of the user and above the one or more housings enclosing the electronic circuitry. The apparatus includes a battery module removably affixed to the battery holder and comprising a first power connector that electrically couples to a second power connector located in the battery holder while attached to the battery holder to provide electric power to the electronic circuitry and the electric motor. The apparatus includes an output shaft coupled to the electric motor. The electronic circuitry controls delivery of power from the battery module to the electric motor to generate torque about the axis of rotation of the ankle joint of the user.

Devices and methods for CPR chest compression with active decompression.

Treadmill configured to automatically determine user exercise movement. In some embodiments, a treadmill may include a deck, a first pulley disposed in the deck, a second pulley disposed in the deck, a tread belt surrounding the first pulley and the second pulley, an electronic sensor incorporated into the treadmill and configured to automatically produce measurement data in response to exercise movement performed by a user over the deck, an electronic console including an electronic display, a processor, and a memory. The memory may include programmed instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to automatically analyze the measurement data produced by the electronic sensor to automatically determine a characteristic of the exercise movement performed by the user over the deck, and automatically present, on the electronic display, an indication of the characteristic of the exercise movement performed by the user over the deck.

The present disclosure discloses a method, a device of steering assist control for a walker, and a memory. The method includes acquiring a first moving speed of the left wheel and a second moving speed of the right wheel; determining whether the left wheel and/or the right wheel is in a steering state; calculating a steering angle estimate or a speed difference between the first moving speed and the second moving speed when in the steering state; acquiring steering assist compensations; and performing an assist compensation on the left wheel and/or the right wheel. The method can make the user more effortless when pushing the walker to turn, making it more convenient for users with less strength to use the walker, and reducing impact of the steering on the travel speed. Sudden stop caused by the increase of steering resistance can be avoided, and safety can be improved.

A method of operating an information processing apparatus may include collecting gait information of a walking assistance apparatus; determining a gait feature of a user of the walking assistance apparatus based on the collected gait information; and controlling the walking assistance apparatus by determining a gait group of the user based on the determined gait feature.

Disclosed are a walking assistance robot and a method of controlling the walking assistance robot. The control method includes collecting motion information by sensing or measuring a motion of at least one joint, determining a motion state of the at least one joint based on the sensed or measured motion of the at least one joint, and controlling the walking assistance robot based on the determined motion state of the at least one joint.

A system for administering patient-specific chest compressions includes an automated chest compressor configured to be applied to the chest of the patient to administer chest compressions to the patient; at least one force sensor configured to sense force information for force exerted on the patient by the chest compressor from the applied chest compressions; and at least one processor and memory communicatively coupled with the chest compressor and the at least one force sensor. The at least one processor and memory are configured to control the chest compressor to administer the chest compressions over an initial compression period according to an initial compression protocol. The initial compression protocol includes a plurality of chest compressions of increasing scheduled depths with a first compression at an initial depth and a final compression at a final target depth greater in magnitude than the initial depth.

A rehabilitation apparatus for wrist and forearm therapy comprising an adjustable armrest, a motor, and a rotatable base having a plurality of sockets for engaging a plurality of handles for different types of therapy, wherein the motor is configured to move the rotatable base.

A system for testing and/or training the vision of a user is disclosed herein. The system includes at least one camera, a visual display device having an output screen, and a data processing device operatively coupled to the at least one camera and the visual display device. In one embodiment, the data processing device is programmed to determine a head position, head velocity, and/or head speed of a user during a vision test or vision training routine from a plurality of images of the head of the user captured by the at least one camera. In another embodiment, the data processing device is programmed to determine, based upon an input signal received from a user input device, a contrast display setting for a screen background relative to at least one visual target, the contrast display setting enabling the user to gradually adapt to increasing levels of visual stimulation.
