Walking training system and operation method
A walking training system and an operation method capable of performing training effectively are provided. A walking training system according to an embodiment includes a harness attached to a trainee's trunk, a first pulling unit configured to apply a pulling force to the harness from a first direction along a horizontal direction, a second pulling unit configured to apply a pulling force to the harness from a second direction along the horizontal direction, and a control unit configured to control the first and second pulling units.
Fall prevention apparatus
A fall prevention device configured to be coupled to a person and comprising a mechanical torso configured to be coupled to the person's torso and a mechanical structure configurable to be coupled to the mechanical torso from its first end. The mechanical structure and mechanical torso resist forces at least along one direction to maintain their posture relative to each other. In operation the second end of the mechanical structure is positioned behind the person and substantially close to the ground. When the second end of the mechanical structure contacts the ground, contact points of legs of the person on the ground and contact points of the second end of the mechanical structure outline a multi-sided polygon on the ground. If the vertical projection of the center of gravity of the person to the ground intersects the ground within the multi-sided polygon, the person and fall prevention device remain stable.
MEDICAL APPARATUS FOR STANDING AID
A medical apparatus for standing aid comprising a backrest (4) that has at least one side thereof provided with a crank rocker mechanism that comprises a crank mechanism (1), a triangular linkage mechanism (2), and a rocker mechanism (3), the crank mechanism (1) being rotatably connected to the triangular linkage mechanism (2) such that an included angle between a second driven link (BE) of the triangular linkage mechanism (2) and the crank mechanism (1) is always smaller than 90°, and the crank mechanism (1) driving the triangular linkage mechanism (2), the rocker mechanism (3) and the backrest (4) connected to the triangular linkage mechanism (2) to perform interactive movement repeatedly along a predetermined curve trajectory in response to a driving force coming from a drive effect of a driving unit (100), so that the backrest (4) connected to the second driven link (BE) assists a trainee in standing up repeatedly by obliquely supporting the trainee's waist.
KNEE JOINT MECHANISM WITHOUT POWER SOURCE
A knee joint mechanism without a power source is provided. The knee joint mechanism includes a thigh support assembly, a connecting base, a shank support assembly and a locking mechanism. The thigh support assembly is fixed at a thigh of an exoskeleton robot, a first angle sensor is disposed on a hip, and power is provided from the hip. The connecting base is mounted with a second angle sensor; the locking mechanism includes a motor, a worm gear, a locking member, an unlocking member, and a first limiting member. The unlocking member and the first limiting member firmly fix the locking member to maintain the thigh support assembly, the connecting base and the shank support assembly at an ergonomic angle; the motor drives the unlocking member to rotate through the worm gear to realize unlocking, and the second angle sensor controls the unlocking member to lock the locking block.
ASSISTANCE DEVICE, ASSISTANCE GARMENT, AND ASSISTANCE METHOD
Provided are an assistance device, an assistance garment, and an assistance method that enable easy replacement of a part of structure, suppression of fatigue of a wearer, and reduction of a load in an action of the wearer, without requiring time and effort for putting on and taking off. An assistance device 1 is art assistance device 1 that is provided on a garment and reduces a load in an action of a wearer 5. The assistance device 1 is provided with an assisting part 10 that is replaceable and applies force for assisting the an action to the body of the wearer 5 by changing flexibility, and an assist-control part 12 that controls the flexibility.
Control system for movement reconstruction and/or restoration for a patient
A control system for a movement reconstruction and/or restoration system for a patient, comprising at least one sensor, at least one controller, at least one programmer, at least one stimulation system,
wherein the controller is connected with the sensor, the programmer and the stimulation system,
wherein the sensor is part of or attached to a training entity in order to create and/or guide a movement model for a patient and/or adjust stimulation settings based on sensor input.
External Structural Brace Apparatus
An external structural brace apparatus for supporting a user in a semi standing position on a surface includes first and second support extension beams that to attach to the surface, also included is a channel having a base with first and second legs, wherein the first and second legs extend in the same direction from opposing sides of the base, the first leg is affixed to the first support structure and the second leg is affixed to the second support structure, the channel can be lockably positioned along the first and second beams. In addition, a saddle seat with a midpoint extension portion, the saddle is attached between the first and second legs and positioned such that the midpoint extension extends opposite of the base, wherein operationally the user partially rests their buttocks on the saddle and leans their back against the base to assume a semi supported standing posture.
PORTABLE REHAB STATION WITH STANDING ASSIST
A portable rehab station includes a frame having left and right frame members that have bottom ends; left and right outriggers, each having a forward end and a rearward end, the left and right outriggers being connected at the bottom ends of the respective left and right frame members; a front, ground-engageable caster connected to the forward end of each of the left and right outriggers and a rear, ground-engageable caster connected to the rearward end of each of the left and right outriggers; and a standing assist apparatus including a leg brace and connection means for variably connecting the leg brace to the frame members and at variable heights relative to the bottom ends of the frame members.
REHABILITATION DEVICES PROVIDING LOCOMOTION TRAINING AND METHOD OF USE
In various embodiments, provided herein are systems, methods, processes, and devices for providing locomotive rehabilitation to a subject via one or more gait motions that substantially accurately mimic motions performed in healthy, natural gait cycles. The system may mimic natural gait motions via footplates and handles, and one or more linkage systems. In particular embodiments, the system may further include a motor unit and/or clutch for providing controlled forces assisting or resisting motions of a linkage system. Further, the system may include a tower for operating in a standing or seated position. In at least one embodiment, the system includes a body weight support system that provides offloading forces to a subject.
UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE AND MEDICAL SUPPORT METHOD
Provided are an unmanned aerial vehicle executing medical support work and assisting in the work supposed to be performed by a health care worker or replacing the health care worker and a medical support method for performing medical support work by using an unmanned aerial vehicle. An unmanned aerial vehicle capable of performing autonomous flight includes a receiving unit receiving an input of medical support work from a health care worker and a control unit controlling the execution of the medical support work based on content of the input received by the receiving unit.
