In at least some aspects, the present concepts include a method for configuring an assistive flexible suit including the acts of outfitting a person with an assistive flexible suit, monitoring an output of at least one sensor of the assistive flexible suit as the person moves in a first controlled movement environment, identifying at least one predefined gait event using the output of the at least one sensor, adjusting an actuation profile of the at least one actuator and continuing to perform the acts of monitoring, identifying and adjusting until an actuation profile of the at least one actuator generates a beneficial moment about the at least one joint to promote an improvement in gait. The at least one controller is then set to implement the actuation profile.

A leg care apparatus includes a main body configured to provide an action space in which a leg is accommodated and at least one action space adjustment module configured to adjust a size of the action space. Accordingly, a leg may be cared to fit a size and length of the user's leg.

Provided herein are compression devices and methods of use thereof, and methods of treatment for patients with edema. The compression device can include a sleeve having a plurality of inflatable chambers and at least one pneumatic pump that can be coupled to at least one inflatable chamber. The device can also include a portable bio impedance analyzer, a microcontroller and a battery. The battery can power the microcontroller and the at least one pneumatic pump and the microcontroller can control the both the portable bio impedance analyzer and the at least one pneumatic pump. The device can be used to treat a patient. Body impedance values are received from the sensors. The inflatable chambers are inflated in a sequence and to a pressure level based on the instructions from the microcontroller when the body impedance values meet a first predefined threshold.

There is provided a phototherapy apparatus, in which the therapeutic light is delivered through or in proximity to one or more massage components. The massage component provides mechanical massage to the subject biological tissue and modifies the properties of the subject tissue in thickness, density, etc. to facilitate the absorption of the therapeutic light and enhance the effect of the phototherapy procedure.

A female sex toy with an action sensing ability, comprising a penis-like insertion portion adapted to be inserted into the vagina and a control circuit board provided with a control chip. An external gel wraps the penis-like insertion portion; the penis-like insertion portion comprises multiple pressure strain structures which all contact the inner side of the external gel, and each of the pressure strain structures is provided with a pressure sensor, which is electrically connected to the control chip of the control circuit board; after the penis-like insertion portion is inserted into the vagina, the external force is transmitted to the pressure strain structures through the external gel and causes deformation, and the pressure sensors measure and acquire, in real time, the external force which causes the deformation of the pressure strain structures, and send external force information to the control chip to form body feeling data.

An assistive device for stair-climbing assistance includes a powered rail-sliding platform that assists its user through a unique human interface. The device provides powered assistance (a gentle pulling force) and protection (through a safety belt) to help users climb or descend stairs.

An elongated actuator including: an elongated inner tube for carrying a pressurized actuation fluid; a helical coil wrapped around the elongated inner tube; wherein the actuator undergoes actuation by means of pressure fluctuations in the elongated inner tube.

Stimulation devices and methods of use are described herein. An example stimulation device configured to stimulate a portion of a body of a user comprises a housing that includes a casing and a covering. The casing includes a nozzle, a motor disposed within the casing configured to generate stimulation patterns, a drive shaft connected to the motor, a sensor configured to detect changes in the rotation of the draft shaft, a controller, and a battery. The covering covers a portion of the casing.

There is provided a phototherapy apparatus, in which the therapeutic light is delivered through or in proximity to one or more massage components. The massage component provides mechanical massage to the subject biological tissue and modifies the properties of the subject tissue in thickness, density, etc. to facilitate the absorption of the therapeutic light and enhance the effect of the phototherapy procedure.

A door component for pivoting a movable door of a motor vehicle has a drive with an electric drive motor in order to influence a pivoting of the door between a closed setting and an open setting. A position measure for an angular setting of the door leaf and a speed parameter for an angular speed of the door leaf are detected by a position sensor. During a pivoting of the door leaf with the speed parameter, an electrical setpoint current intensity for the electric drive motor is ascertained, and an associated setpoint voltage is set. Then the current intensity flowing through the drive motor is ascertained. The setpoint voltage is increased if the current intensity is lower than the electrical setpoint current intensity, and the setpoint voltage is decreased if the current intensity is higher than the electrical setpoint current intensity.
