A lower-leg exoskeleton that includes an inflatable actuator configured to be worn over a front portion of a leg of a user and configured to be disposed directly adjacent to and surrounding a joint of the leg of the user. The inflatable actuator is configured, when worn by the user, to receive and transmit an actuator load generated by the inflatable actuator around the joint of the user to a load contact point. Inflation of the inflatable actuator generates a moment about the joint of the user to cause flexion of the leg of the user.

Provided is a travel motion assist device capable of assisting a travel motion of a user without causing any discomfort, and has a high level of versatility. A travel motion assist device includes an assist drive unit configured to be worn on a prescribed joint of the user required for the travel motion of the user, and to be driven in a corresponding manner, a torso motion detection unit configured to be worn on a torso of the user, and to detect the displacement of a center of gravity C indicating the movement of the torso, and a control unit configured to control an operation of the assist drive unit, wherein the control unit estimates a phase of the travel motion of the user according to a detection result of the torso motion detection unit, and drives the assist drive unit at a prescribed phase.

A massage apparatus includes: a first bio-signal measurement unit which is formed in an arm massage unit and includes at least one electrode positioned at a portion where the palm of a user is placed, and which is movable back and forth on the basis of the position of the hand of the user; a second bio-signal measurement unit which is formed in a foot massage unit and includes at least one electrode positioned at the rear portion of the ankle of the user, and is movable back and forth; and a control unit for acquiring information on the physical condition of the user on the basis of bio-signals obtained from the first bio-signal measurement unit and the second bio-signal measurement unit.

A gait assistive device that may be used to improve a gait disability by replacing or compensating movement of joints of an ankle and a foot that occur during a gait or that may be used for a bottom structure of a gait robot is disclosed. The present invention provides a gait assistive device including: a foot supporting part; a rear connecting part coupled to a heel portion of the foot supporting part; and a rearfoot plate coupled to the rear connecting part, wherein the rear connecting part may include a joint, and a shaft of the joint is installed on a line or rear line of a load line at heel strike during a gait cycle based on a direction of a gait.

Described herein are methods of manufacturing multi-use mounting brackets having an extension with an internal support rod configured to support gym accessories. A single multi-use mounting bracket fits gym rigging or gym racks of different sizes and hole configurations. This accomplished by including multiple pairs of holes that are sized and positioned to be compatible with different gym rigging configurations. The multi-use mounting brackets described herein are advantageously designed to resist both downward and upward forces.

A device for controlling aspects of ambulatory (walking) gait control during physical therapy uses magnetic bodies, one worn on each ankle of the user. The magnet polarity of each body facing toward the median plane of the user is the same, and thus the magnetic bodies repel one another when in proximity to prevent the feet from crossing over one another during the swing phase of the walking gait and thereby reduce the potential for falls due to tripping.

In various aspects, the invention includes a wearable therapy delivery device for applying thermal therapy and/or compressive therapy. In some cases, the wearable therapy delivery device includes an inner layer configured to contact a body surface of a user; an outer layer; temperature therapy modules enclosed between the inner layer and the outer layer proximate the inner layer; and/or compressive therapy modules located proximate the one or more temperature therapy modules. In some cases, the compressive therapy modules are configured to force the temperature therapy modules toward the body surface of the user.

The method of treating a patient addicted to pain medication or opioids has the step administering acoustic shock waves or pressure pulses to the patient. A second embodiment includes a treatment to reduce a patient's pain caused by a medical condition and/or medical procedure to reduce or eliminate the taking of addictive pain medication. The treatment has the step of administering acoustic shock waves or pressure pulses directed to an area near a source of the pain or to one or more reflexology zones or to one or more reflexology zones and to an area near the source of the pain or both to treat the medical condition or prior to the medical procedure or during the medical procedure or after the medical procedure or any combination thereof.

A sealing device for a foot therapeutic apparatus includes an airtight sleeve and a sealing member. The airtight sleeve includes a treatment box connecting end and a limb inlet end. The sealing member is fixedly mounted at the limb inlet end. The sealing member includes a tightening band and an annular gas bag located on the outer periphery of the tightening band. The annular gas bag is connected to a gas source. A foot therapeutic apparatus with the sealing device includes a treatment chamber and an electrical chamber. The treatment chamber comprises a treatment box, and the sealing device is arranged on the treatment box. A box opening is arranged at a top of the treatment box, and the treatment box connecting end of the airtight sleeve of the sealing device is hermetically connected to the box opening.

Disclosed is a vibration generator for shoes, including: a flat vibration plate having a length longer than the width thereof; support pieces horizontally protruding in the widthwise direction of the vibration plate; upper and lower casings coupled while restricting each end portion of each support piece, so as to accommodate the vibration plate therein; core magnets fixedly provided in one or more places among the respective end portions in the lengthwise direction of the vibration plate; upper magnets fixed to the upper casing so as to face the core magnets, thereby generating a repulsive force; and bottom magnets fixed to the lower casing so as to face the core magnets, thereby generating a repulsive force.
