Provided are a method and a system for a massage apparatus-based user information transaction. According to one embodiment of the disclosure, a method for a massage apparatus-based user information transaction includes the steps of: inquiring whether a user gives prior-consent to provision of user information to the outside; if the user gives prior consent to the provision of user information to the outside, collecting, from the massage apparatus, user information including the user's biometric information, and storing same; providing the stored user information to a third party company server; calculating an amount of money to be paid to the user in accordance with the provision of the user information to the outside; and paying the calculated amount of money to the relevant user's account.

A foot stretching/checkup device includes: a motor unit; a footrest unit including a lower footrest configured to be rotated about a first rotation axis, an upper footrest configured to be rotated about a second rotation axis and a connecting member connecting the upper footrest and the lower footrest; and a coupling unit including an arm portion rotated by the motor unit and a rotary coupler coupled to the upper footrest. The upper footrest is configured to be rotated by a predetermined angle about the second rotation axis by the rotation of the arm portion. The lower footrest is configured not to be rotated about the first rotation axis by rotation of the arm portion until the upper footrest is rotated by the predetermined angle.

Disclosed is a fitness equipment provided with massage pedals, comprising a frame, two pedals, two rotating shafts, a flywheel swing arm, a flywheel, a damping wheel and a belt; the pedals are mounted on the frame and provided thereon with massage mechanisms; the pedals are connected to the rotating shafts; inner ends of the rotating shafts are rotatably connected to an outer end of the flywheel swing arm; a middle portion of the flywheel swing arm is sleeved on an outer end of a flywheel axle; the flywheel axle penetrates the flywheel, a middle portion of the flywheel axle and the damping wheel are rotatably mounted to the frame; and the belt is wound on the damping wheel and the flywheel.

A shaped standing mat or base providing a trampoline-like rebounding surface that is a highly responsive and dynamic support surface for a standing person where that person is able to maintain a proper stance relative to their foot angle, and to engage in mild exercise movement and foot rotation and stretching without undue interruption of mental concentration in a work or other environment.

A load detection device capable of preventing deterioration of the accuracy of a load detection with the lapse of time is provided. A first exemplary aspect is a load detection device, including: a load detection part including a curved surface; an application member comprising a flat surface; and a transmission member located between the load detection part and the application member. The curved surface of the load detection part and a first surface of the transmission member come into point contact with each other, and the flat surface of the application member and a second surface opposite to the first surface of the transmission member come into surface contact with each other.

A device for assisting a wearer in rotationally moving an ankle joint. A drive mechanism coaxially rotates with the ankle joint using a drive motor; a control device controls the drive motor. A storage stores a basic movement pattern and a corrected movement pattern that represent time-series changes in ankle joint angle in a gait cycled. A calculator obtains the corrected movement pattern by correcting the basic movement pattern based on input operation. The basic movement pattern is represented by a polygonal line or a Bézier curve, each of which includes a plurality of predetermined points serving as inflection points, or a combination of thereof. The calculator generates the corrected movement pattern corrected by adjusting positions of the plurality of predetermined points on the basic movement pattern, and, based on the corrected movement pattern, the control device controls driving provided by the drive motor.

Systems and methods for exerting forces on a body, including a support structure defining a space and a plurality of surface contacting units that are configured to exert force upon the body, such that the weight is distributed away from the primary weight bearing regions to non-weight bearing regions of the body, or vice versa, without exerting significant shear or frictional forces on surfaces of the body. The systems and methods may be used to exert forces to cause fluid shift in different compartments of the body. Applications include treatment of various disease conditions including pressure ulcers, heart failure, high blood pressure, preeclampsia, osteoporosis, injuries of spine and to slow microgravity-induced bone and muscle loss. The systems and methods may be used to simulate gravity, weightlessness or buoyancy, in rehabilitation medicine. The system may include a chair, bed, a wearable suit or an exoskeleton.

An example exercise and therapy device includes a foot covering. The foot covering includes a pocket. The exercise and therapy device also includes a pliable object. The pliable object is received within the pocket and arranged to be placed adjacent a foot of an individual wearing the foot covering.

The present disclosure discloses a steam foot massage machine, and relates to the technical field of massagers. The steam foot massage machine includes a housing, foot pads, a main body, a steam heating device, a movable connection assembly, massage devices and a rotation mechanism. The housing sleeves the outer part of the main body, the interior of the housing and the main body form a steam chamber, the interior of the main body forms a mounting chamber, the foot pads are arranged in the steam chamber, the massage devices are mounted on the foot pads, and the rotation mechanism is arranged below the foot pads and is in driving connection with the massage devices.

A foot plate for an assistive device is disclosed. The foot plate includes a planar vertical mounting portion on its lateral side, and a planar foot bed. The foot plate includes a gradual shoulder portion, such as a web of material that ties the vertical mounting portion to the foot bed. The foot plate also includes a heel cup at a posterior end for engaging the heel of a user. The foot plate also includes a rocker portion underneath the toes of a user, on an anterior end of the foot plate. The rocker portion enables the toes to flex in the dorsal direction during walking without the foot becoming disengaged from the foot plate.
