Multi-Posture Lower Limb Rehabilitation Robot
The application presents a multi-posture lower limb rehabilitation robot, which includes a robot base and a training bed. The training bed comprises two sets of leg mechanisms, a seat, a seat width adjustment mechanism, a mechanism for adjusting the gravity center of human body, a back cushion, a weight support system and a mechanism for adjusting the back cushion angle. The robot base comprises a mechanism for adjusting the bed angle. The mechanisms for adjusting the angles of bed and back cushion can be used together to provide paralysis patients with multiple training modes of lying, sitting, and standing postures. Each leg mechanism comprises hip, knee, and ankle joints, which are driven by electric motors; angle and force sensors are installed on each joint, and can be used to identify patients' motion intention to provide patients with active and assistant training. The mechanism for adjusting the gravity center of human body, the leg mechanisms, and the weight support system can be used together to implement human natural walking gait to improve the training effect.
TENDON DEVICE FOR SUIT TYPE ROBOT FOR ASSISTING HUMAN WITH PHYSICAL STRENGTH
Provided is a tendon device for a suit type robot which includes: a first wire and a second wire respectively fixed on a front portion and a rear portion of a joint of a user, and moving in a lengthwise direction thereof according to flexion-extension of the joint; a tendon driver including a first tendon module including a first pulley, and a second tendon module including a second pulley; a first pulley encoder measuring a rotary angle of the first pulley; a second pulley encoder for measuring a rotary angle of the second pulley; a controller configured to calculate tensions of the first wire and the second wire based on the rotary angle of the first and second pulleys in order to generate a control signal; and a driver configured to provide the first tendon module and the second tendon module with a driving power.
UNILATERAL LEG PRESS MACHINE
A unilateral leg press exercise machine is provided. This machine includes a base frame, which is engaged with the floor. The base frame includes bottom side supports, bottom front and back supports to provide stability to the machine. The base frame also includes two sliding carriages which hold resistance plate holders and move in a straight line at an angle of approximately 20 degrees to the floor. 2 resistance plate holders are attached to each moving carriage for a total of 4 and provide the desired weight resistance during the exercise. An adjustable back pad is provided to vary the angles to approximately 15 degrees from the horizontal floor. A set of adjustable shoulder pads on the seat hold the user in place as the back pad is lowered to angles that are closer to the horizontal position.
Retrofitted Continuous Passive Motion Devices
A method for gathering information relating to the use of a continuous passive motion device can comprise receiving usage information from a continuous passive motion device processing unit. The usage information can comprise at least one duration of time that the continuous passive motion device was used. The method can also comprise storing the usage information such that the usage information is available within a historical dataset. Additionally, the method can comprise displaying at least a portion of the usage information from the historical dataset on a graphical user interface.
Device and method for reversibly connecting a rehabilitation mechanism to a bed, and method for operating a rehabilitation mechanism connected to a bed
A device and a method for reversibly connecting a rehabilitation mechanism to a bed, such as a hospital bed that can be brought to a vertical position. The device has a connection element arranged on the rehabilitation mechanism; a receiving unit, which can be arranged at the side of and/or at the foot end of the bed; the receiving unit corresponds in design to the connection element; and a transport device for transporting the rehabilitation mechanism toward and away from the bed. The transport device and/or the bed is height-adjustable. A method for operating a rehabilitation mechanism connected to a bed by way of the novel device. Easy, fast, reversible connection of a rehabilitation mechanism to a conventional hospital bed is enabled, in particular to a hospital bed that can be brought to a vertical position. Existing beds can be quickly and economically retrofitted with a robot system for kinesiotherapy.
Mobility aid and rehabilitation device and related components
A mobility and exercise system includes a user support platform, a leg platform connected to the user support platform, a first linearly movable mount and a second linearly movably mount each coupled to the leg platform and movable relative to the leg platform in two directions parallel to a longitudinal axis of the leg platform. A first abducting arm and a second abducting arm are coupled to the leg platform, each by a respective hinge. The first and second abducting arms are movable relative to the leg platform by swinging motion away from the longitudinal axis and back toward the longitudinal axis. A first foot cradle is mounted on the first linearly movable mount or the first abducting arm, and second foot cradle is mounted on the second linearly movable mount or the second abducting arm.
Creeping motion therapy device
A creeping motion therapy device promotes proper crawling and includes a motor coupled to a frame. Each of a right paddle and a left paddle are coupled to and slidable relative to the frame. Right and left leg supports are also coupled to and slidable relative to the frame. A linkage assembly is mechanically coupled to a main flywheel assembly mechanically coupled to the motor. Each of the right paddle, the left paddle, the right leg support, and the left leg support is mechanically coupled to the linkage assembly such that the right paddle and the left leg support move alternately backward and forward in unison and the left paddle and the right leg support move in unison in opposite to the right paddle and the left leg support wherein the right paddle, left paddle, right leg support, and left leg support mimic a creeping motion.
