A forearm synergy training device includes a support swingable on a base and having an arcuate sliding rail portion, a sliding unit movable on the arcuate sliding rail portion, and a synergistic assembly connected to the base, the support and the sliding unit for driving the sliding unit to slide along the arcuate sliding rail portion when the support is swung. A wearable unit is removably disposed on the support and the sliding unit, and is sleeved on a hand and a forearm of a user. When the user's elbow bends, the support is swung by the forearm through the wearable unit, so that the hand and the forearm are driven by the sliding unit to rotate along the arcuate sliding rail portion.

A machine that facilitates the performance of physical therapy exercises with or without the assistance of a physical therapist. The device allows a patient to sit upon a table, and connect the patient's body part to a cuff and pulling system. Then, via hand movements upon an article of the device cause body part flexion. Too, a patient can use the device for isometric like exercising via a series of stretch bands that attach to the cuff and table.

A single incapacitated leg crutch for use by a person with a single incapacitated leg is provided with features for user friendly attachment and release of the crutch. The single incapacitated leg crutch includes features for controlled limitation of lateral and forward gait movement and gait walking stabilization that occurs in natural lateral and forward walking gait motion without a crutch.

Exercise robot suitable for rehabilitation and methods of its operation are provided. In particular a method in which the exercise robot learns an exercise movement on the basis of movements conducted by the aid of a human assistant holding the leg of a patient and moving the leg with muscular form to conduct an exercise movement. The rehabilitation robot actively accompanies the exercise movement in an active compliance mode and records the movement so as to determine an exercise movement stored in the control unit of the device. The rehabilitation robot can then produce the determined exercise in an exercise mode.

An interactive upper limb rehabilitation training system includes an interactive display screen, a host computer control center, a dual-arm rehabilitation robot, a movable space adjustable dual-arm robot base, and a position tracker. The dual-arm rehabilitation robot is mounted on the movable space adjustable dual-arm robot base, and drives an arm of a patient to move through two end effectors. The movable space adjustable dual-arm robot base adjusts an operating space of the dual-arm rehabilitation robot. The position tracker is used for real-time collecting position and posture information of the arm, and transmitting it to the host computer control center and the interactive display screen. The interactive display screen is used for synchronous operating a game by the position and posture information. The host computer control center is used to store patient information, and is used to provide a quantitative index after evaluating a rehabilitation process of the patient.

A pivoting lower limb therapy device formed from a lever frame having a handle portion integral with its proximal end and a first orthotic portion adjacent to its distal end, a base frame having a second orthotic portion integral with its proximal frame end and a surface support portion integral with its distal frame end, with the lever frame rotatably attached to the base frame so as to permit the first orthotic portion to move across two dimensions relative to the second orthotic portion in response to an exertion of mechanical force on the handle portion. The pivoting lower limb therapy device may also include a strap assembly connected to and extending between the proximal end of the lever frame and the proximal frame end of the base frame so as to exert mechanical force on the two frame members.

An exoskeleton wheelchair system includes a base, one or more wheels coupled to the base, a body support connected to the base comprising: a back support; and one or more leg supports pivotally coupled to the back support, and a gait wheel linked with the one or more leg supports via one or more gait linkages and configured to rotate the one or more leg supports. The one or more leg supports are configured to pivot about a first axis when the back support is in a standing position mode. The back support is maintained at a fixed position relative to a location of the base when the one or more leg supports pivot about the first axis while the back support is in the standing position mode.

An exercise and stretching device is shown and described. The exercise and stretching device includes a connection cable located through a rigid tube. The rigid tube has a curvature. There are connectors at each end of the connection cable. The connectors are connected to resistance bars. The resistance bars have an aperture located at each end of the bar, wherein an aperture of each bar accepts the connectors. A handle is connected to the aperture opposite the connector.

A human motion assistance device has an upper torso harness and a preloaded leg strap arrangement affixed to the upper torso harness. The preloaded leg strap arrangement has an X-bracket connected to the upper torso harness. The preloaded leg strap arrangement further uses a plurality of blocks and a preloaded strap routed through the blocks and connected to the X-bracket. The preloaded leg strap arrangement further uses a knee pad with a split seam. The preloaded strap is under tension, even when the human motion assistance device is in a relaxed state. The preloading provides an immediate force which increases under a loaded state. The potential energy stored during the loaded state is released when transitioning from a standing position to a crouched, squatting, or seated position. The configuration allows for maximizing the energy storage without putting excess shoulder pressure on the user when standing.
