A joint mobilization apparatus includes a pulling unit and a power unit. The pulling unit includes a wearable member set for mounting on the patient's joint part, and a rope set connected to the wearable member set. The power unit provides power of reciprocatingly pulling the rope set, and includes a shell member, a motor, and a reciprocation mechanism connected to the motor and the rope set. The reciprocation mechanism is driven by the motor to reciprocate relative to the shell member, so as to pull the rope set to reciprocate the wearable member set and patient's joint part. By using the power unit to drive the pulling unit to pull reciprocatingly for mobilizing the patient's joint part, instead of the therapist's treatment, the therapist's burden in physical strength can be reduced. Furthermore, the joint mobilization apparatus can provide the user to execute various muscle training modes.

The invention comprises an apparatus for arm exercise for therapy of a subject. The apparatus comprises a base comprising a planar upper surface. A first set of parallel rails are affixed to said upper surface of the base, the first set of parallel rails comprising a first rail and a second rail positioned parallel to each other and separated from each other by a predefined first distance. A second set of rails comprising at least a third rail having a first end and a second end are also provided, wherein said first end is slidably mounted on the first rail and said second end is slidably mounted on said second end. A sliding mount is slidably affixed to the second set of rails, and configured such that said sliding mount can be slidingly moved between the first end and the second end of the third rail.

To provide a motion training apparatus capable of appropriately continuing motion training while ensuring safety even when an operation unit is deviated from a target trajectory in a passive training mode. A controller of a motion training apparatus detects, by a force sensor, a force Fx in an X-axis direction and a force Fy in a Y-axis direction acting on an operation unit movable in an XY plane, and controls an X-axis direction drive motor and a Y-axis direction drive motor so that, when a magnitude of a resultant force F.sub.0 of the forces Fx, Fy is within a predetermined range, the operation unit moves along a predetermined trajectory, and when the resultant force F.sub.0 exceeds the predetermined range, the operation unit moves in accordance with a first speed vector having a magnitude for directing the operation unit from a current position to a subsequent target position.

A percussive massage device includes a self-lubricating cylinder extending along a longitudinal axis. A motor shaft rotates about a central axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A crank coupled to the shaft includes a pivot offset from the central axis. A reciprocation linkage is coupled between the pivot and a piston that moves longitudinally within the cylinder. An applicator head coupled to a second end of the piston has an end exposed outside the cylinder for application to a person receiving treatment. An annular gasket positioned between the cylinder and the applicator head removes lubricant from an outer surface of the piston to inhibit the lubricant from reaching the applicator head.

An adjustably tensioned roller massage system provides a pair of roller massage assemblies in opposed adjustable tensioned or spaced relation to allow engagement of each one of a pair of roller massage assemblies on a corresponding massageable portion of a body.

A device comprising at least two ferrules, which may have a first ferrule (3) and a second ferrule (4), joined by elements by programmable elastic means (5) in the manner of elastic rods or straps with shape memory, wherein each ferrule (3) (4) has a housing (3.1) (4.1) for housing vibration-generating means (6) and (7) fed by means of cables (6.1) and (7.1), respectively, by a control unit which is in charge of controlling and adjusting vibration intensity, phase and speed, wherein the programmable elastic means is preferably a nickel-titanium alloy, and may be compressed air. A device is obtained that is simple to implement and apply in the treatment of arthritis and arthrosis disorders.

The massage machine includes a massage unit for treating a treatment target person, a first drive unit for driving the massage unit in a direction facing a treatment site of at least the treatment target person, and a control unit that controls driving of at least the first drive unit. The massage unit is configured to include a treatment unit in an articulated structure with at least two or more joints, and a second drive unit that drives the treatment unit in the direction facing the treatment target site of the treatment target person. The at least the two or more joints are shifted from each other in a direction intersecting a longitudinal direction of the treatment target site.

A treatment force application device preferably for use on biological tissue includes a proximal end having a weight and having a support for a practitioner; a distal end having a treatment interface configured for applying a therapeutic treatment including at least a treatment force; and a connection between the support and the treatment interface. The connection is lockably adjustable by the practitioner to establish a placement of the treatment interface relative to the support. The weight is sufficient to substantially prevent movement of the treatment interface relative to the support when the connection is locked. The support enables movement of the practitioner to provide a practitioner force, and the practitioner force is transferred from the support to the treatment interface through the connection. The support includes at least one flexible brace against which the practitioner can press to provide the practitioner force. The therapeutic treatment further includes at least one of heat, cold, moisture, vibration, pulsing, ultrasound, radiation, chemicals, and medicine. The treatment interface can be configured for obtaining biometric, treatment, physical, mechanical, force and environmental data related to use of the device.

A vision training device includes a housing having at least one eyepiece unit corresponding to an eye of a user, a display that displays a target image in front of a fixation axis of the user, a lens arranged between the eyepiece unit and the display unit, a movable unit capable of moving at least one of the display and the lens along the fixation axis, and a control unit that sets at least one training range within a movable range of the display and the lens and controls the movable unit such that at least one of the display and the lens is moved within the training range.
