In one general aspect, in an embodiment, a method is performed by a computer system. The method includes providing a user interface having a user interface control that simulates chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The method also includes receiving a real-time simulated compression indicator via the user interface control. The method also includes recording information related to the real-time simulated compression indicator in a compression time series. The method also includes providing, in the user interface, real-time feedback regarding a time distribution of at least a portion of the compression time series.

SOFT EXOSUIT FOR ASSISTANCE WITH HUMAN MOTION

Systems and methods for providing assistance with human motion, including hip and ankle motion, are disclosed. Sensor feedback is used to determine an appropriate profile for actuating a wearable robotic system to deliver desired joint motion assistance. Variations in user kinetics and kinematics, as well as construction, materials, and fit of the wearable robotic system, are considered in order to provide assistance tailored to the user and current activity.

Provided is a system for muscle strength support. The system includes an exoskeleton which is configured to be attached to a body of a human during use of the system, and a control unit for controlling a supportive force provided by the exoskeleton during use of the system.

LIFT TRANSFER APPARATUS
20230181410 · 2023-06-15 ·

A lift transfer device for disabled people includes a wheeled chassis having a column with a bottom end attached to the chassis and a top end including an arm rest. A winch is provided that is supported by the chassis and/or the column. The winch includes a tow rope having a distal end and a hook disposed at the distal end of the tow rope. The tow rope runs through one or more guide rings disposed on the column and the arm rest. A harness is provided that is worn by a user of the lift transfer device. The hook on the tow rope may be connected to a pulling loop on the harness, the winch facilitates a lifting of the user as the tow rope is retracted by the winch and a lowering of the user as the tow rope is paidout by the winch.

TRACTION DEVICE
20230181405 · 2023-06-15 ·

A traction device for treating or alleviating back pain and/or sciatica. The traction device is designed to provide the user with a mechanism to pull their lower body, allowing for traction of the lower back. The traction device may also include mechanisms to orient the user's feet at different angle orientations, thus allowing traction to the user's hips, user's hips and back, or the user's back. The traction device may include an upper section designed to support a user's upper body, an intermediate section designed to support a user's mid-section, and a lower section designed to support a user's lower body.

BODY-WEIGHT-SUPPORTED GAIT LIFT
20170312163 · 2017-11-02 ·

[Problem] To allow a travel base to be self-propelled in accordance with a pace of a gait trainee without manual operation of the travel base by the gait trainee in accordance with his/her pace, and to prevent the gait trainee from being pulled forward or rearward by the travel base even if the self-propelled speed of the travel base does not perfectly match the pace of the gait trainee.

[Solution] A lifting device is hung in a manner relatively displaceable in the front-and-rear direction within a predetermined range with respect to the travel base that can be self-propelled in the front-and-rear direction, and a control device is provided with respect to the travel base. The control device causes the travel base to be self-propelled forward when the gait trainee moves forward and thus the lifting device is relatively displaced forward with respect to the travel base within the predetermined range, and causes self-propelling of the travel base to stop when the travel base is self-propelled forward faster than the gait trainee moves and then the lifting device is relatively displaced rearward with respect to the travel base within the predetermined range, thereby causing the travel base to be self-propelled forward in accordance with a pace of the gait trainee.
