The first box has strings, motors, a motor controller, and reels. The second box has a voltage regulator, a battery, and a computer. The arm box has an arm box computer, an arm box voltage regulator, a bio-signal amplifier, an arm box battery, and arm box switch. The electrical lead assembly has electrical leads, lead heads, electrodes, and adhesive pads. The glove assembly operates, whereby the glove fingers open and close in response to voltage spikes as results of eye movements.

The present disclosure provides an electrohydraulic device. The device includes a battery having a vessel containing a flowable electrolyte. The battery may be a flow cell battery, such as, for example, a redox flow cell battery. In a flow cell battery, the flowable electrolyte may a catholyte and/or an anolyte. An actuator is in fluidic communication with the vessel of the battery. The actuator is configured to be actuated using the flowable electrolyte. A cation exchange membrane may separate the vessel into an anolyte side and a catholyte side. The actuator may be in fluidic communication with either side (anolyte side or catholyte side) of the vessel.

A pivoting lower limb therapy device formed from a lever frame having a handle portion integral with its proximal end and a first orthotic portion adjacent to its distal end, a base frame having a second orthotic portion integral with its proximal frame end and a surface support portion integral with its distal frame end, with the lever frame rotatably attached to the base frame so as to permit the first orthotic portion to move across two dimensions relative to the second orthotic portion in response to an exertion of mechanical force on the handle portion. The pivoting lower limb therapy device may also include a strap assembly connected to and extending between the proximal end of the lever frame and the proximal frame end of the base frame so as to exert mechanical force on the two frame members.

A hand anti-stress and or rehabilitation device that has two support bases where a metal rod stands with rounded rotating parts incorporating magnets that are fixed, or have a mobile union that allows to exert pressure on them, is disclosed. Optionally, it has, coupled fixed or dismountable, at each of the rod ends, a spring, or similar, at the distal end thereof, a lateral gripping part with four circular recesses to insert the fingers.

An exoskeleton joint self-locking mechanism, a knee joint and a bionic rehabilitation robot are provided. The self-locking mechanism comprises a first base, a rotating outward expanding locking member, a second base and a locking driving member; the rotating outward expanding locking member comprises a first rotating frame and a second rotating frame, and outer sides of the first rotating frame and the second rotating frame have a first friction surface; one end of the first rotating frame is pivoted with one end of the second rotating frame; the second base is rotationally mounted on the first base, and an inner wall of the second base defines a second friction surface enclosing the first friction surface; the locking driving member applies/removes a force pushing away from free ends of the first rotating frame and the second rotating frame, to make the first friction surface lock/unlock the second friction surface.

A method for controlling a pneumatic glove includes: S1, regulating an air pressure of a pneumatic glove to enable the pneumatic glove to be in a natural flexion state, and obtaining a current air pressure value of the pneumatic glove, detected by an air pressure detection unit at a current moment, as an initial air pressure; S2, setting an air pressure threshold according to the initial air pressure; adjusting an internal air path of the pneumatic gloves to a closed air path, and when the pneumatic glove is worn on a hand of a patient, obtaining the current air pressure of the pneumatic glove detected by the air pressure detection unit, and determining an expected movement trend of the hand of the patient according to the current air pressure and air pressure threshold; S3, regulating the air pressure in the pneumatic glove according to the expected movement trend.

A platform for providing spinal traction. Separate planar members having a generally flat and horizontal surface provide a platform for a user, who positions himself or herself in a supine position on a first planar member and a second planar member that form the platform. The first planar member has spaced apart vertical members that engage the user's underarms. The second planar member comprises a restraining member that surrounds the user at approximately the waist of the user. A drive apparatus allows the user to selectively and progressively separate the first planar member from the second planar member so that the vertical members pull the upper torso away from the lower portion of the person's body that is held in position relative to the second planar member by the restraining member.

A rehabilitation glove based on a bidirectional driver of a honeycomb imitating structure, including five bidirectional drivers and a cotton glove. The drivers are fixed to a back of the glove through hook and loop fasteners. Each driver includes a hollow buckling air bag in a continuous bent state, a middle guide layer in a continuous bent state and a hollow stretching air bag. The buckling air bag and the middle guide layer are symmetrically arranged, and the stretching air bag in a straightened state is arranged below the middle guide layer. A novel bidirectional driver of a honeycomb imitating structure is provided, which may provide a patient with rehabilitation training in two degrees of freedom: buckling and stretching. A control algorithm of the bidirectional driver is further provided to perform force control output for the driver, which may better help the patient recover hand functions.

A novel shoulder brace that can provide active dynamic support to an injured shoulder while providing the capability to also raise the attached arm and support the arm in an elevated position. The brace can be used both in conjunction with a rehabilitation intervention program to maintain or restore range of motion and strength and to assist in functional tasks at work and at home. The brace works by supporting a locking or ratchet mechanism connected to an arm cuff from a chest piece that, when desired, the user can move the arm connected to an injured shoulder and supported by the arm cuff from a normal side resting position to an elevated position 90 degrees from the resting position while transferring the load created by the arm and whatever the hand is holding back to the chest piece and to the torso of the user. A release mechanism can be used to release the locking or ratchet mechanism to let the user lower their arm back to a resting position.

A stretching device for stretching and aligning a user's back may include a belt, optionally a gambrel and universal hook, and optionally a support system, such as a slotted door mount. The belt may be designed to wrap around the user's back and under the user's armpits, wherein the belt is a segmented belt having a plurality of raised segments spaced along a length of the belt. Rings may be attached to each end of the belt, wherein the rings may be designed to engage with a mounting device, such as the gambrel and universal hook.
