Percussive therapy device with variable amplitude
A percussive therapy device that includes a housing, an electrical source, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, a push rod assembly operatively connected to the motor and configured to provide reciprocating motion in response to activation of the motor, and a massage attachment secured to a distal end of the push rod assembly. The reciprocating motion of the push rod assembly has a user-adjustable amplitude.
MASSAGER CONTROLLING APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF
A massager controlling apparatus and a method thereof are provided. The massager controlling apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a setting part configured to set a massage mode and a control part configured to control a moving speed of a driving module performing massage to adjust at least one of an operation time of a corresponding massage pattern and massage strength according to the massage mode set by the setting part and a body shape of a user.
REVERSIBLE MECHANICAL ARM GRAVITATIONAL TORQUE BALANCING DEVICE
The present invention belongs to the field of medical rehabilitation training equipment, and particularly discloses a reversible mechanical arm gravitational torque balancing device, comprising a counterweight guide groove module, a counterweight, a mechanical arm joint, a rope, a guide pulley block, a counterweight disc, a mechanical arm joint link and a rack. The counterweight guide groove module is mounted on the rack; the counterweight has a lower end mounted on the counterweight guide groove module and an upper end connected to the rope, and the rope is wound on the counterweight disc after passing through the guide pulley block mounted on the rack; the mechanical arm joint is mounted on the rack and internally provided with a motor; the counterweight disc is mounted on an output shaft of the motor of the mechanical arm joint; and the mechanical arm joint link is also mounted on the output shaft of the motor of the mechanical arm joint and the gravity of the mechanical arm joint link produces a gravitational torque on the mechanical arm joint. The present invention can change the direction of the provided balance torque when the mechanical arm performs the morphological transformation, and features simple, rapid and labor-saving operation as well as reliable structure.
MEDICAL DEVICE FOR TREATING CARPAL TUNNEL AND DE QUERVAIN'S SYNDROMES
Devices and methods for treating carpal tunnel syndrome or DeQuervain's syndrome. The device may include a resting portion for receiving a user's forearm, first and second contact portions configured to contact the user's forearm, and a stretching mechanism configured to apply opposing forces to the first contact portion and the second contact portion to stretch the user's underlying tissue. The first contact portion may be configured to apply a compressive force to the user's forearm at a first location. The second contact portion may be configured to apply a compressive force to the user's forearm at a second location different than the first location.
Handheld articulated user-assistive device with behavior control modes
A handheld tool includes a handle; an implement mount configured to detachably accept and to rigidly hold a user-assistive implement; an actuator assembly mounted to the handle to physically manipulate the implement mount relative to the handle; a first sensor disposed to sense an orientation of the handle; a second sensor disposed to sense an orientation of the user-assistive implement; a controller disposed in or on the handle and coupled to the actuator assembly and the first and second sensors; and memory coupled to the controller. The memory stores instructions for identifying a type of the user-assistive implement attached to the implement mount, selecting a behavior routine based upon the type of the user-assistive implement identified, and manipulating the user-assistive implement relative to the handle according to the behavior routine to aid performance of a task with the handheld tool.
MOBILE ASSISTANCE ROBOT COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE PIVOTING BEARING SYSTEM
Disclosed is a mobile robot which includes: a mobile base which exhibits a control system configured to control the characteristics of the motion of the mobile base; and a bearing system configured to be grasped by a person. The bearing system is configured to pivot freely with respect to the mobile base about a vertical rotation axis. The robot includes at least one first sensor configured to detect at least one characteristic of a rotation motion of the bearing system with respect to the mobile base and to advise the control system which is configured to modify the trajectory of the robot as a function of the characteristic, detected by the first sensor, of the rotation motion of the bearing system.
MOTION ASSISTANCE APPARATUS
A motion assistance apparatus includes a shank frame configured to support a shank of a user, a thigh frame configured to rotate relative to the shank frame and support a thigh of the user, and a driving frame configured to assist a motion of a hip joint of the user by transmitting power directly or indirectly to the shank frame.
Housing apparatus of a rechargeable physiotherapy instrument
A housing apparatus of a rechargeable physiotherapy instrument, that has a shape of a rounded rectangular prism, is disclosed comprising a back plate that has a shape of a rounded rectangular prism without a top plate, and whose one end comprises a first output interface opening, charging interface opening, a second output interface opening, a first baffle plate, a second baffle plate, a first box-like structure, a second box-like structure, a first spring, and a second spring. The first box-like structure further comprises a first wall and a second wall opposite one another. The second box-like structure further comprises a first wall and a second wall opposite one another.
Massage chair capable of massaging front body region
A massage chair capable of massaging the front body region is proposed. In the massage chair, one end is rotatably coupled to the backrest part and the backrest part for supporting the user's back, and includes a front massage part for massaging the user's abdomen or chest. According to the present configuration, there is proposed a massage chair capable of performing massage even in a front body region of a person to be treated, such as a chest or an abdomen.
Force-Balancing Support, Mechanical Apparatus and Wearable Support Device
To support a movable arm attached to a base and rotatable around a movable rotation point relative to the base, a force-balancing support comprises an arm attachment connectable to the movable arm and at least rotatable around a center of rotation of which a position is movable relative to the base attachment. The support is attachable to the base with a base attachment at a distance from the arm attachment. The support has a cantilever mechanism which transfers force exerted on the arm attachment by the movable arm, when coupled thereto, to the base attachment. The cantilever mechanism has a fixed end attached to the base attachment and a free, arm-side, cantilever end movable, e.g. by suitable flexing. The arm attachment is suspended with respect to the base attachment at the free end.
