An apparatus for supporting rehabilitation of a user includes a detector that detects a direction of a head of the user wearing a head mounted display, and a display controller that generates, in a virtual space, a rehabilitation target object to be visually recognized by the user and displays the target object on the head mounted display in accordance with the direction of the head of the user detected by the detector. To avoid risk that the user interferes with an object in a real space, the display controller further controls display of the head mounted display.

An assist device includes: a first harness to be fitted to at least one of a shoulder region and a breast region of a user; a second harness configured to be fitted to one of a leg region and a waist region, of the user; a belt body provided so as to extend to the first harness and to the second harness along a back side of the user; an actuator provided in one of the first harness and the second harness; and a controller performs operation control of the actuator. The actuator winds a part of the belt body and unwinds the part of the belt body. The controller performs the operation control of the actuator based on a posture change of the user.

A biometric system includes: a camera that captures a subject; a pressure information collection unit that detects a pressure value of at least one sole of the subject; a skeleton direction vector calculation unit that calculates a skeleton direction vector of the subject captured by the camera; a floor reaction force vector calculation unit that calculates a floor reaction force vector on a basis of information on pressure from the pressure information collection unit; and an analysis result output unit that displays, in a superimposing manner, the skeleton direction vector calculated by the skeleton direction vector calculation unit and the floor reaction force vector calculated by the floor reaction force vector calculation unit.

A system for obtaining and analyzing data for overall joint motion from a plurality of joints of a subject experiencing a movement disorder involves a plurality of kinematic sensors configured to be placed on a body of a subject proximal a plurality of joints. The kinematic sensors are selected to measure overall joint motion with sufficient degrees of freedom for individual joints so that data collected by the sensors can be deconstructed into multiple degrees of freedom for individual joints and analyzed to provide amplitude of the movements caused by the movement disorder and/or relative contributions from and/or directional bias for each muscle group that may be implicated in the movement of each joint. The system permits determining a treatment regimen based on the amplitude of the movements and/or the relative contribution and/or directional bias of each muscle group to the movements caused by the movement disorder.

A system includes a wheeled walker having a frame and a plurality of wheel assemblies coupled to the frame for supporting the frame above a walking surface, the frame and the plurality of wheel assemblies defining a volume above the walking surface occupied by at least a portion of a user's legs as the user walks on the walking surface using the wheeled walker, the wheeled walker further having a camera directed toward the volume. The system may include a non-transitory program storage medium storing instructions executable by a processor or programmable circuit to collect image data from the camera, evaluate the user's gait based on the image data, and output a result of the evaluation.

The apparatus comprises a controller; a spinal cradle rod; at least one vertebral module, the at least one vertebral module comprising at least one tension arm and at least one sensory pad, the at least one sensory pad comprising at least one emitter. The at least one vertebral module is in mechanical communication with and affixed to the spinal cradle rod; the at least one emitter is in electrical communication with the controller; and the controller provides input signals to the at least one emitter. The spinal cradle rod is the structural base of the therapeutic system and can be set to the proper curvature of the spine, and is adjustable according to the height and weight of the user.

Embodiments include systems, methods, and products for prevention and treatment of orthostatic hypotension, edema, and nocturia. Aspects include a tubular compression sleeve having an adjustable effective radius. Aspects also include a position sensor. Aspects also include an actuator in communication with the position sensor, wherein the actuator is capable of modifying the effective radius of the tubular compression sleeve.

The actuator winds a part of the belt body and unwinds the part of the belt body. The controller performs the operation control of the actuator based on a posture change of the user.

A motorized tensioning mechanism for orthotic devices, such as a knee brace, wherein the controls for the motorized tensioning mechanism may be manual, automatic, or a hybrid of both. Sensors associated with the orthotic device may inform the user regarding tension or other aspects of the device, and, in cases, may automatically adjust tension in the motorized tensioning mechanism.
