A method and apparatus include attaching a lighted cup holder to a seating arrangement. The lighted cup holder includes a cup holder body and a light-producing light source, with the cup holder body being attached to the seating arrangement and having a cup receptacle therein, the light-producing source being disposed within the cup receptacle for illuminating the receptacle. A light-sensitive element operatively connected to the light source selectively controls production of light by the light source in such a manner that illumination of the cup holder is provided only under conditions where visibility is reduced to the point that it becomes difficult to locate the cup holder. The light-sensitive element is mounted on a master lighted cup holder and controls illumination of the master lighted cup holder and one or more slave lighted cup holders operatively connected to the master lighted cup holder.

A system and method are disclosed that allows a practitioner to rotate a human subject in three different axes of rotation, independently from one another and without limitation on the degree of rotation, which allows for the treatment of various systems of the human subject.

A care system including a medical device, a mobile computing device, and a information system. The medical device configured to generate data graphics to transfer information from the medical device to the mobile computing device.

A vibrator comprises an upper, lightweight, honeycomb rocker plate suspended above a rigid, lower base by a pair of triangular truss rocker arms. A pair of rigid, parallel, spaced-apart stringers within the vibrator rise upwardly from the lower base. A rocker shaft extending between the stringers pivots the rocker arms near their midpoint. A motor secured to the base within the vibrator drives a spaced-apart flywheel assembly that is mounted with a crankshaft journaled between the stringers. The motor is coupled to the flywheel assembly with a drive belt extending between suitable pulleys. The flywheel assembly crankshaft terminates in spaced apart, offset portions that reciprocate connecting rods linked to one end of the triangular truss rocker arms that vigorously vibrate the rocker plate.

A walking assistance apparatus including a first fixing device and a second fixing device to be attached to both legs of a user, respectively, a motor device configured to provide an active assistance force to the first fixing device and the second fixing device using at least one motor, and a passive assistance force transmitter connected to the first fixing device and the second fixing device to provide a passive assistance force to the first fixing device and the second fixing device may be provided.

A robotic sports apparatus includes a plurality of robotic arms and a plurality of fastening members operably coupled to a respective robotic arm of the plurality of robotic arms. Each fastening member is configured for receiving a limb of a patient. Each robotic arm is configured to move each respective fastening member in at least one of a different direction or a different speed relative to one another for opening neural pathways in the patient.

The application presents a multi-posture lower limb rehabilitation robot, which includes a robot base and a training bed. The training bed comprises two sets of leg mechanisms, a seat, a seat width adjustment mechanism, a mechanism for adjusting the gravity center of human body, a back cushion, a weight support system and a mechanism for adjusting the back cushion angle. The robot base comprises a mechanism for adjusting the bed angle. The mechanisms for adjusting the angles of bed and back cushion can be used together to provide paralysis patients with multiple training modes of lying, sitting, and standing postures. Each leg mechanism comprises hip, knee, and ankle joints, which are driven by electric motors; angle and force sensors are installed on each joint, and can be used to identify patients' motion intention to provide patients with active and assistant training. The mechanism for adjusting the gravity center of human body, the leg mechanisms, and the weight support system can be used together to implement human natural walking gait to improve the training effect.

It is disclosed an apparatus for restoring voluntary control of locomotion in a subject suffering from a neuromotor impairment comprising a multidirectional trunk support system and a device for epidural electrical stimulation. The robotic interface is capable of evaluating, enabling and training motor pattern generation and balance across a variety of natural walking behaviors in subjects with neuromotor impairments. Optionally, pharmacological cocktails can be administered to enhance rehabilitation results. It is also disclosed a method for the evaluation, enablement and training of a subject suffering from neuromotor impairments by combining robotically assisted evaluation tools with sophisticated neurobiomechanical and statistical analyzes. A method for the rehabilitation (by this term also comprising restoring voluntary control of locomotion) of a subject suffering from a neuromotor impairment in particular partial or total paralysis of limbs, is also disclosed.

A system and method are disclosed that allows a practitioner to rotate a human subject in three different axes of rotation, independently from one another and without limitation on the degree of rotation, which allows for the treatment of various systems of the human subject.

Powered recliner chairs, assemblies for use in the chairs, and components for use in the assemblies are provided. Electrical systems for use in the chairs, and components for use in the assemblies are provided. Control systems and methods for operating powered recliner chairs are also provided. Any given chair may be locally and/or remotely controlled.
