MOBILITY DEVICES WITH EMBEDDED SENSORS AND ASSOCIATED APPLICATION
A mobility device including one or more sensors configured to transmit user mobility data to an external electronic device such as a smartphone or a computer. In embodiments, the mobility device can be a cane, crutch, walker, wheelchair, walking stick, or walking pole. A system for measuring real time mobility data of a user is also disclosed.
UPPER ARM CUFF CRUTCHES
An ambulatory aid, such as one or more crutches, including a height adjustable shaft, a handle portion extending from a middle portion of the shaft, a foot portion, and an extension portion termination with a closed loop cuff for securing to the upper arm of a subject. The height adjustable shaft of the crutch can be adjustable at a top end, middle, a bottom end, or any combination thereof. The top of the cane shaft is aligned at a more posterior angle then the bottom of the shaft. The handle of the crutch is elongated and extends horizontally and lateral to the height adjustable shaft. In a particular embodiment, a posterior portion of the handle is longer, and optionally larger in surface area than an anterior portion of the handle such that the handle is configured so that when the person's hand is gripping the handle, the handle will be offset over the shaft.
Systems and methods for providing synchronized movements of a powered wheelchair and an exoskeleton
Embodiments herein are directed to a system that includes a powered wheelchair, a user-worn exoskeleton, and a master controller. The master controller monitors the independent movements of the powered wheelchair and the user-worn exoskeleton. The master controller prioritizes the movement of the powered wheelchair and the user-worn exoskeleton such that only one of the powered wheelchair or the user-worn exoskeleton will have the priority to complete the intended movement. The master controller may coordinate movements between the powered wheelchair and the user-worn exoskeleton so to perform a plurality of predetermined programs. For example, assisting a user to sit within the powered wheelchair, to assist a user to stand from a seating position when outside of the powered wheelchair, and/or use the powered wheelchair as a guide for walking.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ENGINE TO OPTIMIZE A TREATMENT PLAN
A method for updating a treatment plan. The treatment plan is associated with a user using a treatment apparatus to perform the treatment plan. The method includes receiving first data associated with a first diagnosis of the user. The method includes generating, based on the first data, an initial treatment plan to be performed on the treatment apparatus by the user. The method includes receiving second data associated with a first attribute of the user. The method includes generating, via an artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to generate an updated treatment plan based on the initial treatment plan and the second data.
Collapsible walking device
Disclosed is a collapsible walking device that can be disposed in an operative (open) configuration and a storage (closed) configuration. The open, operative configuration of the walking device provides a structure to aid a user in walking or standing. The closed, storage configuration allows for easy and convenient storage and transport of the walking device. The collapsible walking device can be transitioned from the operative configuration to the storage configuration in one motion. The walking device includes four support legs that extend to the ground from adjacent two handles, and a seat configured to support the user.
Chair-type massage machine
A chair-type massage machine includes a base member, a slide member slidable with respect to the base member in a first direction and in the direction opposite to it, and an arm treatment portion rotatably fitted to the slide member at an end part of it in the first direction.
Massage chair assemblies with air cell apparatuses and methods for providing the same
This disclosure relates to improved massage chairs that include air cell apparatuses. A massage chair can include at least one air cell apparatus, which can be integrated into a shoulder portion, leg rest portion, arm portion, and/or other portion of the massage chair. An inflatable air bladder can be connected to each air cell apparatus. Each air cell apparatus can transition between a retracted position and an extended position. The air cell bladder can be configured to inflate when the air cell apparatus is in the extended position, thereby securing an individual to the massage chair. Various assemblies can be used to transition the air cell apparatus between the retracted and extended positions. Other embodiments are disclosed.
MULTIPLE ACTUATOR VIBRATION THERAPY
A method includes disposing a plurality of actuators about a subject, each actuator being configured to generate a respective vibration signal, each vibration signal applying a normal force to the subject, and controlling the plurality of actuators such that the respective vibration signal of each actuator of the plurality has a respective vibration characteristic. Each actuator is oriented such that the respective vibration signal propagates along a longitudinal axis of the subject for stimulation of the subject remote from the plurality of actuators.
PEDICURE CHAIRS AND PUMPS FOR USE WITH PEDICURE CHAIRS AND RELATED METHODS
A jet pump has an impeller with a magnet that can be rotated by a shaft having a magnetic drive plate and wherein the impeller and the magnetic drive plate are separated from one another by at least one solid wall surface. The impeller can be located in a pump housing having a base and a cover. The base can have a surface bearing so that the impeller can contact therewith and rotated against the surface of the surface bearing.
Exercising Apparatus
An exercise apparatus includes flexible elongated members configured for attachment to shoes of a user. Motor assemblies are disposed between the elongated members and the shoes, respectively, and cause the flexible elongated members to oscillate. Rotational drums attached to the flexible elongated members and are configured to rotate the flexible elongated members while the elongated members oscillate.
