JOINT MOVEMENT THERAPY AND ASSISTIVE DEVICE SYSTEM AND METHOD
A joint movement therapy and assistive device system. The system includes a torque profile device having a plurality of connecting components, a longitudinal axis, and a center. Each connecting component of the plurality of connecting components is disposed at a selected distance relative to the center and a selected angle relative to the longitudinal axis. The system also includes at least one segment end and a plurality of tensioning components removable secured to the plurality of connecting components of the torque profile device and the at least one segment end. The plurality of tensioning components forms an additive torque profile when coupled between the torque profile device and the at least one segment end.
Device for height adjustment
A physiotherapeutic device is disclosed. In an embodiment a physiotherapeutic device includes an arm trainer configured to rotationally move arms of a patient, the arm trainer having a first axis and a leg trainer configured to rotationally move legs of the patient, the leg trainer having a second axis, wherein the first and second axes comprise an adjustability in height, wherein a distance of the first axis to the second axis is constant, wherein the arm and leg trainers are adjustable in height so that an adjustment in height results in different exercising positions.
SOFT ACTUATOR AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME
A selectively actuated textile includes one or more pieces of fabric having one or more circumferentially constrained channels and one or more hollow elastic tubes located within the circumferentially constrained channels and configured to receive a working fluid. Selectively providing or removing working fluid from the hollow elastic tubes provides for selective actuation of the textile.
Walking assist device
A walking assist device has a frame, a plurality of wheels, drive units, a battery, and a drive control unit that controls the drive units. The walking assist device also has: a pair of right and left movable handles that are grasped by a user and movable back and forth with respect to the frame in accordance with arm swing performed during walk of the user; handle guide units provided on the frame to guide the movable handles in a movable range that matches the arm swing performed during walk of the user; and a grasp portion state detection unit that detects the state of the movable handles. The drive control unit controls the travel speed of the walking assist device by controlling the drive units on the basis of the state of the movable handles which is detected using the grasp portion state detection unit.
Compression garment apparatus having baseline pressure
A compression garment apparatus including a compression garment and a pressurizer. The pressurizer intermittently pressurizes a therapeutic bladder on the compression garment and maintains a baseline pressure in the therapeutic bladder to maintain the therapeutic bladder in position with respect to a target compression zone on a body part on which the garment is worn. The baseline pressure is adjusted in response to sensed physical characteristics.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR WIRELESSLY CONTROLLED STIMULATION
A system for providing stimulation is provided configured for wireless communication sufficient to control a stimulator when the stimulator is positioned between the bodies of two users. The system includes a stimulator configured for positioning proximate to erogenous areas of two users, providing physical stimulation to the two users by way of the erogenous areas the two users, and wirelessly receiving one or more control signals controlling one or more characteristics of the provided physical stimulation; and a remote controller configured for wirelessly transmitting the one or more control signals to the stimulator, the remote controller adapted for transmitting electronic signals representative of the one or more control signals using a wireless frequency capable of maintaining a quality of signal sufficient to control operation of the stimulator during transmission through organic tissue of both of the users.
Massaging Device
Disclosed herein is a massage device configured to provide a squeezing pressure. The massage device may include an elastically extensible and bendable connector element and at least two rolling massage elements. A portion of the elastically extensible and bendable connector element and the at least two rolling massage elements form a massaging zone configured to receive one or more body parts. The body parts may include feet, forearms, and the like. Accordingly, the massage device may provide relief for specific conditions such as plantar fasciitis and carpel tunnel syndrome.
HEALTH MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
A therapeutic wrap includes a flexible member configured to wrap around an affected area. Actuators are operably coupled to the flexible member. Each actuator is operable between a deployed state and a non-deployed state. A first coupling feature is disposed proximate a first edge on a first surface of the flexible member. A second coupling feature is disposed proximate a second edge on a second surface of the flexible member. The first coupling feature is configured to engage the second coupling feature when the flexible member is wrapped around the affected area and when the flexible member is slidably adjusted relative to the affected area. A retaining feature is coupled to at least one end of the flexible member and configured to retain the flexible member in a selected position on the affected area.
DEVICE FOR UPPER-LIMB REHABILITATION
A device for upper-limb rehabilitation, which assists a user in exercising the arm for rehabilitation, has a connector, a placing unit movably connected to the connector, and a driving unit configured to move the connector, wherein when a user places the arm on the placing unit and moves the placing unit, the driving unit is operated to move the connector along the placing unit, so as to enlarge a work space in which the user is capable of moving the arm.
HAND-HELD ROTARY DEVICE FOR TIGHTENING SKIN
A hand-held rotary device for tightening skin and tissue includes a handle attached to a cylindrical roller bar. A motor is disposed in a cavity of the handle, the motor having a drive shaft extending from the motor and providing the rotational force for the rotary device. The cylindrical roller bar is mounted on the drive shaft and has a cushioned and textured exterior surface.
