Mobility rehabilitation device comprising a table, hinged to a support structure and respective actuator, configured to rotate said table between a horizontal and a vertical position, said table being provided with a harness configured to fasten a patient positioned thereon, said rehabilitation device comprising a lower limbs movement mechanism to make the patient's femur rotate with respect to the hip and a couple of feet movement platforms, said device comprising also a plurality of infrared light sources, positioned so that each light source lights up the muscles of a respective area of the patient's lower limbs, a control unit configured to control said lower limbs movement mechanism and said light sources and to manage an adjusting cycle of the intensity of said light sources in a differentiated manner for each of said sources, as a function of the movement cycle imposed by said lower limbs movement mechanism.
Treadmill Raising & Lowering / Improved Treadmill
A hydrotherapy apparatus (1) comprises a tank (10); a conveyer (30) with a conveyer frame (34) and drum (38) mounted within the tank (10), and an actuator (200) comprising: a guide (202) mounted on an end region of the conveyer frame (34), the guide (202) comprising a first portion (202a) and a second portion (202b) angled downwards with respect to, and closer to the drum (36) than, the first portion; a glider (204) arranged to be received by the guide (202); and an actuator shaft (208) arranged to move the glider (204). The conveyer (30) is arranged to be rotated around the axis of the drum (36) by the actuator shaft (208) moving the glider (204) along the guide (202). The hydrotherapy apparatus (1) may comprise a lifting arm (80) rotatably connected to the conveyer frame (32), at a position spaced from the drum (36), at a first end region of the lifting arm (80), and arranged to be driven by the actuator (200) so as to rotate the conveyer (30) further.
WEARABLE DEVICE FOR ASSISTING LIMB MOVEMENT
The present invention features a wearable device for assisting in the movement of lower limbs. The wearable device may comprise an anchor component configured to encircle a torso of a user and be supported by the shoulders through a harness/suspender that provides both postural support and proprioceptive input. The wearable device may have one or more tubing components attached to at least a portion of the anchor component, and one or more elastic cords with at least a portion of the elastic cord are disposed within the tubing component. Each cord may have a first and second attachment component on each end, which may attach to a first shoe and a second shoe of the user. Lowering the cord end by the attachment component may cause the other cord end to rise.
ROBOTIC ORTHOSIS FOR LOWER EXTREMITY FOR GAIT REHABILITATION TRAINING
Disclosed is a robotic orthosis for a lower extremity for gait rehabilitation training, comprising a knee stretching member which is provided to be installable on the knee so as to enable the knee joint to be stretched in a swing phase and enable a state in which the knee is stretched to be maintained in a stance phase. The knee stretching member comprises: a knee sleeve surrounding the knee joint; and a knee supporting chamber which is mounted so as to be connected to the knee sleeve, and which, when air is introduced therein and is inflated in the swing phase, enables the knee to be stretched by supporting the knee joint, and enables the state in which the knee is stretched to be maintained in the stance phase.
LENGTH-ADJUSTABLE LOWER LIMB STRUCTURE, AND EXOSKELETON ROBOT USING SAME
The disclosure relates to a lower limb structure, comprising: a hip joint assembly comprising a hip joint support, a hip joint driver fixed to the hip joint support, and a hip joint transmission handle driven by the hip joint driver; a thigh rod connected to the hip joint transmission handle and driven by the hip joint driver; a knee joint assembly comprising a knee joint fixing base, a knee joint driver fixed on the knee joint fixing base, and a knee joint transmission handle driven by the knee joint driver, wherein the knee joint fixing base comprises a sleeve and a connector which is connected to the knee joint driver, and the sleeve is slidably fixed on the thigh rod along an extension direction of the thigh rod; and a lower leg rod connected to the knee joint transmission handle and driven by the knee joint driver, wherein the thigh rod does not coincide with a line connecting centers of the hip joint driver and the knee joint driver, such that a movement range of the knee joint on the thigh rod regulator is larger. The disclosure also relates to an exoskeleton robot having the lower limb structure.
INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
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.
Link assembly and motion assistance apparatus including the same
A link assembly includes a main frame, a base link rotatably connected to the main frame, an input link rotatably connected to the main frame, and an output link at least 2-degree of freedom (DOF) rotatably connected to the main frame.
Gait activity learning assistance system and the application method thereof
A gait activity learning assistance system, and an application method thereof, includes a main body, at least one movement detecting module, a control module, at least one driving module and at least one dynamic measurement module. The system is able to guide and induce a user to learn gait autonomously by disposing at least one force-transmission unit on at least one limb position of the user, besides, the system is able to measure a dynamic change of the at least one force-transmission unit by the at least one dynamic measurement module while user receiving a gait assistance, and send them back to the control module immediately for a real-time analysis.
Standing training mobile device
A standing training mobile device for carrying a patient to perform active-assisted upright locomotion is provided. The standing training mobile device includes a base, a mobile module, a lifting module, a control module, and a support module. The mobile module and the lifting module are disposed on the base. The control module is disposed on the lifting module and is coupled to the mobile module. The control module includes a manipulation platform and two control assemblies disposed on the manipulation platform for use of the patient. The support module includes a support frame, a first support assembly, a second support assembly, and a third support assembly. The first support assembly, the second support assembly, and the third support assembly are slidably disposed on the support frame respectively. The second support assembly is disposed between the first support assembly and the third support assembly.
MOTION ASSISTANCE APPARATUS
A motion assistance apparatus includes a waist frame configured to support a waist of a user, and a proximal support configured to support a proximal part of the user. A pressure applied to a thigh of the user by the proximal support in a sitting state in which the user is sitting may be greater than a pressure applied to the thigh of the user by the proximal support in a standing state in which the user is standing upright.
