A spinal disk relief apparatus may include a frame configured to carry a body weight of a patient. The frame has a right side, a left side, and a back side. The right side is at approximately a right angle to the back side while the spinal disk relief apparatus is in an unfolded state. The left side is at approximately a right angle to the back side while the spinal disk relief apparatus is in the unfolded state. The spinal disk relief apparatus may also include a belt configured to provide under arm support to arms of the patient. The belt is mounted to the frame by at least four straps. The back side comprises an adjustable lower bar configured to support shins of the patient. The spinal disk apparatus causes the patient supported by the apparatus to experience a rehydrated spinal disk.

An orthopedic back stretcher includes a back portion, a first side portion hingedly connected to the back portion and having a first support surface, and a second side portion hingedly connected to the back portion and having a second support surface. An orthopedic back stretcher kit and methods of using the orthopedic back stretcher and/or orthopedic back stretcher kit are also provided.

A multidirectional suspension device for walking exercises, includes: a center support; a first link unit which is coupled to the center support and rotated about a first axis or vertically moved; and a second link unit which is linked with the first link unit, rotates about a second axis or slides in a longitudinal direction thereof, and has one side to which a safety belt for the suspension device worn by a user is coupled, wherein the user is suspended from the multidirectional suspension device and performs exercises in multiple directions by the first axis and the second axis.

A lumbar decompression device may include one or more bases that support one or more uprights with a plurality of upper support members and a plurality of lower support members. The upper support members are configured to engage with a user's upper body and support a user's body weight. The one or more uprights are positioned laterally from the upper support members such that the user may perform a variety of movements of their lower body without contacting the one or more uprights.

A body lightening system for at least partially supporting the weight of a user, the system including a structure having a frame and a motion system, the motion system driving the structure to follow the movements of the user, a holding system, the holding system including a holding mechanism, a hanger and a plurality of hanging cables, the plurality of hanging cables connecting the hanger to a harness to be worn by the user, a power system including a power source for powering the body lightening system, and a human machine interface, the human machine interface providing control over the motion of the motion system and the percentage of the user's weight supported by the holding system.

A complex rehabilitation technology system includes a frame and a complex rehabilitation technology device. This frame is movable between a collapsed carriable position and an expanded support position to facilitate portability or storage. The complex rehabilitation technology device is coupled to the frame. And, the complex rehabilitation technology device is configured to be operable when the frame is in the expanded support position. The complex rehabilitation system can be portable (e.g., configured for one-handed carrying).

Example traction devices, systems and methods for use thereof are provided. An example traction device may include (a) a frame comprising a top support having first and second ends, where the first end of the top support is coupled to a first vertical support and the second end of the top support is coupled to a second vertical support and (b) a balance bar moveably coupled to the top support via a wire, where opposing ends of the balance bar are each coupled to an attachment ring or define a receptacle.

A mobility aid is provided. The mobility aid includes a mobile base movable along a mobile-base-movement plane, the mobile base having a plurality of wheels. The mobility aid also includes a seat pivotably coupled to the mobile base in a manner so as to be pivotable between a sitting disposition, in which the seat is oriented parallel to the mobile-base-movement plane, and a standing disposition, in which the seat is oriented perpendicular to the mobile-base-movement plane and a sitting surface of the seat is facing forward with respect to a forward-movement direction of the mobile base. The mobility aid also includes a balance-assist unit having a balance-assist-linkage mechanism coupled to the seat, and a body-support-module coupled to the balance-assist-linkage mechanism. Components of the balance-assist-linkage mechanism are jointed in a manner movable to allow movements of the body-support-module relative to the seat along a module-movement-plane parallel to the mobile-base-movement plane when the seat is in the standing disposition.

A surgical patient interface including a patient support platform having a first end and a second end and configured for secure placement with respect to at least one surface of a building structure, wherein the patient support platform is configured to interface with a patient such that at least the torso of the patient extends in a generally vertical direction between the first end and the second end of the patient support platform, and one or more patient supports coupled to the patient support platform and configured to secure the patient to the patient support platform, such that the at least the torso of the patient is held in a substantially static condition, and such that a target portion of the patient's skin is accessible for surgical puncture or incision.

A decompression device may include a support structure to which a harness and a base may be coupled. A positional motivator may also be coupled to the support structure. The positional motivator may be configured to both change and maintain the distance between the base and portions of the harness. The base may be positioned on a surface or structure, and portions of the harness may be positioned around the body of a user, such as under the arms and around the back. The user may manipulate the positional motivator to position portions of the harness a desired distance from the base. Optionally, the user may then lean forwards with the support structure and the harness will provide additional lift, and therefore decompression, to the body and back of the user.
