An information network system includes a massage machine and a communication server. The massage machine contains: a treatment portion configured to treat a subject, a control unit configured to control the treatment portion, an operation unit configured to operate the treatment portion via the control unit, and a new arrival notification portion. The communication server is connected to the control unit via a communication network, the communication server is configured to emit an information related to the massage machine. The control unit is configured to cause the new arrival notification portion to issue a notification upon a receipt of the information.

A massage machine includes display means for displaying videos and/or subtitles and output means for outputting pieces of music and/or voices. The massage machine includes a storage portion configured to store at least two selected from the group consisting of the videos, the subtitles, the pieces of music, and the voices, and a selection portion configured to select at least two from the group consisting of one of the videos, one of the subtitles, one of the pieces of music, and one of the voices stored in the storage portion.

A massage device includes a massage roller that extends lengthwise along an axis from a first end to a second end, opposite said first end, a grip extending from the first end, and a flexible sling extending from the second end and swivelably mounted to the second end. The sling includes an elbow harness for receiving a user's elbow. The massage roller may be urged and rolled against the first side of a user's body by holding the grip and applying a force on the elbow harness with the elbow on the opposite side of the user's body, while the massage roller is allowed to rotate about the axis without twisting the sling.

A system provides compression of a limb of a patient and out-of-axis restraint of a joint of the limb being compressed and application of vibration to a first end of the limb so that the vibration is transmitted through the first end of the limb, the compressed joint, and through the remainder of the limb.

A method and device for controlling a walking assist device is disclosed. The method includes determining a first state variable for a gait state of a user wearing the walking assist device based on a gait of the user, obtaining a second state variable which is smoothed and time-delayed from the first state variable, obtaining a third state variable by applying a torque control variable to the second state variable, and determining an assist torque to be provided by the walking assist device based on the obtained third state variable.

Provided is a training device that suppresses unintended operation of an operation rod when executing an operation mode in which the operation of the operation rod is controlled based on a force applied to the operation rod. The training device includes the operation rod, a motor, a force detection unit, a rotation information output sensor, a first command calculation unit, and a force correction unit. The operation rod moves a limb. The motor operates the operation rod in a direction of degree of freedom. The force detection unit detects a force component and outputs a force component signal. The rotation information output sensor detects an operation position of the operation rod in a corresponding direction of degree of freedom. The force correction unit calculates a corrected force component value based on the operation positions of the operation rod and the force component signal. The first command calculation unit calculates a first motor control command based on the corrected force component value.

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.

A computer-implemented method is disclosed. The method includes determining whether one or more messages have been received from at least one of an electromechanical machine, a sensor, and an interface. Then the one or more messages may pertain to at least one of a user and a usage of the electromechanical machine by the user. The electromechanical machine may be configured to be manipulated by the user while the user is performing a treatment plan. The method also includes, responsive to determining that the one or more messages have not been received, determining, using one or more machine learning models, one or more preventative actions to perform. The method also includes causing the one or more preventative actions to be performed.

A use state-switchable massage device includes a backrest part and a seat part. In the use state-switchable massage device, the use state can be switched so that a user may perform a massage while sitting (sitting-mode) or lying down (lying-mode). When the use state is switched from the sitting state to the lying state, the massage may be performed in a state in which the user's waist is fully stretched (a state in which the spine is straightened while being curved upward).

The present disclosure relates to a massage apparatus comprising a UV sterilization module, the massage apparatus comprising: a main frame which forms a framework of the massage apparatus and includes an upper frame and a base frame; a seat pad or a back pad formed on the upper frame, for improving the sitting comfort of a user; arm massage portions formed at opposite sides of the main frame and massaging the arms of the user; the UV sterilization module for sterilizing and disinfecting at least a part of the seat pad, the back pad, or the arm massage portions; a controller for controlling operations of the massage apparatus; and at least one human body sensor which executes a first confirmation for determining whether the user is adjacent to the massage apparatus, wherein the controller, when the user is not adjacent to the massage apparatus, sterilizes the massage apparatus for a preset time period by using the UV sterilization module.
