Examples of the disclosure are directed to adjustable back plates or backboards for a mechanical compression device to accommodate different patient sizes and/or for ease of storage. Examples of the disclosure includes back plates that can be folded, pieced together, or otherwise have a variable distance between connectors that attach to legs of a chest compression device. Examples also include back plates which may have two sides, such as an adult patient side and a pediatric patient side, to accommodate different patient sizes.

An adjustable massage structure having a back panel and at least one shoulder strap set on the back panel, the back panel having a connected upper part and a lower part, an upper end of the at least one shoulder strap is connected to the back panel at a position set on the connection line of the upper part and the lower part of the back panel, the lower end of the at least one shoulder strap is connected to the lower part of the back panel by a first webbing, the at least one shoulder strap is provided with a massage head inside, the at least one shoulder strap and the upper part of the back panel is connected with a second webbing for adjustment of the shoulder strap, the second webbing is provided with a second adjustment part for adjusting the length of the second webbing.

A therapeutic chair is disclosed with moving parts that permit a user to implement a regimen of physical modality treatment, including non-axial vertebral decompression, flexion extension, distraction, rotation, and lateral flexion.

Wearable assistance devices and methods of using the same are disclosed. Embodiments relate to bimodal wearable assistance devices that provide assistance in one mode, and no or reduced assistance in a second mode, for reducing muscle stress, fatigue, injury and/or pain in the lower back or other body segments, and enabling comfortable, free or increased range of motion. Other embodiments relate to interfaces for wearable assistance devices that can loosen/tighten.

A cardiopulmonary resuscitation (“CPR”) device having a chest compression mechanism configured to deliver CPR chest compressions to a patient, the chest compression mechanism having a rigid support arm configured to pivot about a reference line to deliver the CPR chest compressions.

An exercise assist device transitively moves a sacroiliac joint in a lateral decubitus position. The following description is provided in the context of a left lateral decubitus position. The upper right leg is placed on a stand in the lateral decubitus position, and the upper right leg is then extended transitively backward with a sacral area supported by a sacrum support pad. Since a posterior side of a lower left sacroiliac joint is slightly opened, a sacrum slides backward via a right hip joint. This improves mobility of the lower left sacroiliac joint.

A walking assistance apparatus includes a rear support module configured to support a rear portion of a waist of a user, a driving module configured to provide a power to assist a motion of a hip joint of the user, a thigh support connected to the driving module, the thigh support configured to support a thigh of the user, and a waist frame including a pair of shafts configured to connect the rear support module and the driving module.

The present invention relates to a novel walker safety strap device. The device is a multipurpose strap that will assist a user in using a walker. The strap device functions as a bungee cord that will stretch from one side of the walker to the other, thereby providing the user with instruction for proper stance, balance, and distance from the walker. The walker safety strap device comprises a body component with a C-shaped hook at opposing ends which secure to the walker and a breakaway buckle in the middle. Generally, the strap device is elastic and adjustable based on the size of the user and/or walker to ensure that the strap device keeps the user inside the one-foot circle created by the walker during use.

Equipment for self-care of patients with chronic pain, through inducing, intensifying and maintaining their own frissons and where multisensory and multimodal stimuli are used to achieve it; musical, visual, aromatic and vibrotactile and cold are applied on the cutaneous surface of the spine. In addition, the method for using them through perceptual learning is presented. The equipment includes a computer and a computer system with a music and video player, lighting, presentation of aromas and a closed hydraulic circuit with a hydraulic actuator.

An assist device includes a first body-worn unit, a second body-worn unit, a belt body, an actuator, and a controller. The actuator includes a pulley and a motor that causes the pulley to reel and unreel a part of the belt body. The controller is configured to execute a mode switching process of switching a control mode of the motor to one a restriction mode in which a maximum rotation speed of the motor is restricted to a predetermined rotation speed and a normal mode in which the motor is operated within a rotation speed range higher than the predetermined rotation speed.
