A therapeutic walking trainer with a foot receiving portion for receiving at least a sub-region the forefoot of a user or for forming a connection with a toe of a shoe, having at least one main carrier which can be displaced in and/or counter to an adjustment direction, and with an actively and/or passively operable adjustment unit for the relative adjustment, oriented essentially perpendicular to the adjustment direction, of the foot receiving portion relative to the at least one main carrier.

In various embodiments a method of synergistically using a neuromodulation stimulator and a robotic exoskeleton for the restoration of voluntary movement and greater muscle activation in chronically paralyzed subjects is provided. The noninvasive neuromodulation system delivers signals to facilitate the restoration and/or enhancement of neurological function where at least one effect is strengthened stepping capacity that can be further substantiated when coupled with robotic exoskeleton assistance.

The present disclosure is directed to an autonomous exoskeleton device that includes one or more actuators, one or more controllers, one or more sensors with one or more unidirectional transmissions. The control system includes an exoskeleton member configured and arranged on a limb of a user; a control device, a control device connected to the at least one exoskeleton member; an actuator mechanically connected to the limb of the user; and a sensor configured and arranged to sense a global angle of the exoskeleton device relative to the ground. The control device is configured and arranged to use the global angle to control the exoskeleton member.

A cupsole, that a user wears and is fixed to a foot sole plate of a walking assistance apparatus that assists a motion of a leg part of the user, includes: a main body part on which the user's foot is placed; and an index member that is fixed to the main body part and is configured to determine an attachment position with respect to a reference index provided in the foot sole plate, the attachment position varying for each user, in which the index member can be attached to or detached from the main body part.

An exoskeleton device is provided herein that includes a control unit having at least one actuator. A transmission assembly operably couples the control unit to a hinged assembly. A sensor is coupled to the hinged assembly and is configured to acquire data in reference to use of the hinged assembly. The exoskeleton device also includes a feedback modality. A controller is in communication with the sensor and feedback modality. The controller is configured to activate the feedback modality based on a measured performance metric that is determined from the acquired data.

A patient support apparatus includes a controller having a processor and a memory. The memory may have instructions stored therein related to an exercise regimen for a patient. A graphical user interface may be provided. The controller may be configured to display an alert on the graphical user interface when the patient requires exercise. User inputs may be displayed on the graphical user interface to enable a caregiver to record exercises completed by the patient.

The balance training apparatus includes: a moving cart capable of moving on a moving surface by driving a driving unit; a detection unit configured to detect a load received from a foot of a trainee who is standing on the moving cart; a calculation unit configured to calculate the center of gravity of loads of both feet of the trainee on a riding surface from, the load detected by the detection unit; a setting unit configured to set the center of gravity of the loads at which it is estimated that the trainee has maintained an upright state on the riding surface as a reference center of gravity; and an instruction controller configured to output an instruction of the orientation of the body to the trainee and an instruction to move the center of gravity to the trainee.

A system and method for using a body joystick to interact with a virtual or mixed-reality machines or software applications that uses a support arm to hold a device for attaching the body joystick to a user's body, a sensor for detecting movement, and a tether and actuator for providing feedback to the user about interactions with the virtual or mixed-reality machines or software applications.

A motion assistance apparatus may include a first fixing member to be fixed to a portion of a user, a second fixing member to be fixed to another portion of the user, a driving source provided in the first fixing member, a power transmitting member connected between the driving source and the second fixing member, a sensing portion configured to sense a fixing state of the first fixing member or the second fixing member, and a controller configured to control the driving source based on information received from the sensing portion.

The present disclosure is directed to an autonomous exoskeleton device that includes one or more actuators, one or more controllers, one or more sensors with one or more unidirectional transmissions. The control system includes an exoskeleton member configured and arranged on a limb of a user; a control device, a control device connected to the at least one exoskeleton member; an actuator mechanically connected to the limb of the user; and a sensor configured and arranged to sense a global angle of the exoskeleton device relative to the ground. The control device is configured and arranged to use the global angle to control the exoskeleton member.
