The present invention relates to a stimulation device (1) configured for interacting with an external body portion of a user, in particular the user's back. The interaction consists of exerting a mechanic action upon the user's body, 5 such as massage stimulation and/or skin scrubbing stimulation. For this purpose, the stimulation device (1) comprises a frame (50) provided with at least one upright element (2) extending along a longitudinal direction (L) preferably corresponding, in use, to a body height of the user, and stimulation means (4), slidably coupled with the upright element (2) according to the 10 longitudinal direction (L). Further, the stimulation device (1) is apt to be installed, in use, in a wall unit (100) for a shower cabin assembly (1000).

A load compensation device may include an assisted joint configured to be constrained to a support structure; a main rod comprising a proximal end connected to the assisted joint, and further comprising a distal end configured to be stressed by an applied load; an auxiliary rod comprising a first end and a second end, the first end being hinged on the main rod for rotating the auxiliary rod with respect to the main rod, the second end being movable on a plane on which the applied load lies; an elastic element configured to provide an elastic force which acts between the second end of the auxiliary rod and the distal end of the main rod; a regulation system configured to modify a distance between the second end of the auxiliary rod and the assisted joint, so as to vary a preloading of the elastic element.

A fitness device includes a base assembly, a table coupled to the base assembly, and a foot restraint coupled to the base assembly. The foot restraint is configured, responsive to a change in a relative position of the foot restraint with respect to the table, to apply a resistive force to at least one of one or more feet and one or more ankles of a user positioned in the fitness device. The fitness device may also include a controller that is configured to adjust at least one of (i) a height of the table utilizing one or more height actuators of the fitness device, and (ii) a rotation of the table utilizing one or more rotation actuators of the fitness device.

A massage device that includes a dorsal brace, a dorsal projection, and a first and second arm. The dorsal projection attaches to the dorsal brace. The first arm connects to a first end of the dorsal brace and the second arm connects to a second end of the dorsal brace. Both arms extend in the same direction and are substantially parallel to each other. Also disclosed is a massage device that includes a dorsal brace, a plurality of dorsal projections, and a first and second arm. One or more of the plurality of dorsal projections attach to the dorsal brace. The first arm connects to a first end of the dorsal brace and the second arm connects to a second end of the dorsal brace. Both arms extend in the same direction and are substantially parallel to each other.

A decompression device and a method using the decompression device are provided. The device includes a support structure having a longitudinal brace, and a cross brace that may be coupled to or part of the longitudinal brace. A harness may be coupled to the cross brace, and the harness may have a traction surface. An adjustable fastener may control the harness length therein controlling the distance between the traction surface and the first cross brace. The base positioned on a surface or structure, and portions of the harness positioned around the body of a user, such as under the arms and around the back. The user may manipulate the adjustable fastener to position portions of the harness a desired distance from the cross brace. The user may then leans forwards tilting the decompression device and the harness will provide lift, and therefore decompression, to the back of the body of a user.

A wearable orthotic appliance to which at least one corrective element for correcting neuromuscular imbalances may be removably attached is made of fabric assembly held in compressive tension when worn by a user, the fabric assembly including a cavity or chamber into which the corrective element may be placed and secured at any of a plurality of continuously-adjustable positions. Maintenance of the corrective element position during use of the appliance may be assisted by establishing a compression gradient over selected areas of the appliance during assembly. The wearable orthotic appliance may be a shirt, vest, body suit, or other garment or article of clothing, and the corrective elements may be weights, electrodes, or other discrete elements whose therapeutic effect depends on proper positioning relative to the wearer's torso or other body parts.

A system having an arrangement for supporting an arm of a user is disclosed. The arrangement has an actuator, which is connected to a shoulder element by a joint chain. The joint chain is designed to extend along the shoulder blade of a shoulder of the user and to introduce vertically acting forces into the shoulder element. Moreover, the joint chain is guided by a flexible structure that extends over the shoulder of the user. By virtue of the deformability of the flexible structure, it is possible to ensure that a lifting of the shoulder, resulting from a lifting of a hand of the user, is not impeded.

Some implementations can include a mechanical passive exoskeleton for the support, endurance, and physical health of laboring workers, operators with reduced strength in extremities, and operators in need of assist when rising to a standing position. The exoskeleton can assist in bending, crouching, lifting, and other repetitive motions via resistance within the flex chain and flex cartridge assemblies and lumbar support from the resistive nested spinal assembly.

A system can include a base configured to support a lower half of a human body. The system can also include a headrest elevated relative to the base, wherein the headrest is disposed adjacent to a proximal end of the base, where the headrest is configured to support a head of the human body. The system can further include a back platform having a first end and a second end, where the first end is coupled to the base, where the second end is disposed adjacent to the headrest, and where the back platform has a curvature, where the back platform is configured to support a torso of the human body. The system can also include a vibrating mechanism in communication with the back platform, where vibrations generated by the vibrating mechanism translate to the back platform.

The present invention relates to a load transfer belt adapted to carry at least one accessory of a passive exoskeleton, the load transfer belt comprising, on the one hand, coupling means of an accessory of a passive exoskeleton and, on the other hand, a backrest equipped with two lateral flanks which extend laterally from a fastening end connected to the backrest towards a free end. According to the invention, each lateral flank comprises a first rigid portion which extends from the fastening end towards the free end.
