DEVICE FOR MOBILIZING THE HUMAN OSTEO-MUSCULOTENDINOUS SYSTEM
A device for mobilizing the human osteo-musculotendinous system, including a kneepad arranged to cover a knee of a human user so as to keep the knee in the kneepad, and arranged to exert, on the knee covered by the kneepad, a mobilizing force, the mobilizing force applying pressure to the knee and being directed towards a bearing surface arranged so that the user's pelvis can bear against said surface and a means for increasing the mobilizing force.
ORTHOPEDIC DEVICE FOR AMBULATION ASSISTANCE AND SUITED FOR USE IN GAIT REHABILITATION OF THE TYPE INCLUDING MEANS FOR SPREADING THE THIGHS OF THE PATIENT APART
A gait rehabilitation device includes a stand equipped with casters spaced apart along the width and the length of the stand. Two movable arms forming a pedal crank, each arm comprising a first end rotatably mounted on the device about an axis parallel to the width of the stand. The wedging element to wedge the patient’s foot/leg is adjustable and lockable according to the width of the device. The thigh/leg spreader to adjustably space the patient’s thighs/legs on either side of the saddle support is configured to follow the alternating movement of the patient’s lower limbs. The position setting of the wedging element according to the width of the device is independent of the space setting of the thigh/leg spreader.
KNEE RANGE OF MOTION DEVICE UTILIZING TANGENTIAL JOINT TRANSLATION AND DISTRACTION
A knee range of motion device utilizing tangential joint translation and distraction is disclosed. The device includes a carriage connected to a base, the carriage having a base attachment section; a thigh support section pivotally attached to the base attachment section; and a lower leg support section pivotally connected to the thigh support section. The device further including a carriage support extending between the thigh support section and the base, the carriage support pivotally connected to the thigh support section and adapted to slide in slots on the base; a first actuator connected to the lower leg support section to extend and retract the lower leg support section, thereby causing a foot support connected to the lower leg section to move; and a second actuator connected to the lower leg support section to raise and lower a calf support, causing an anterior and posterior tibial translation.
SEATING-TYPE GAIT REHABILITATION ROBOT IMPROVED IN ENTRY CHARACTERISTICS
Proposed is a seating-type gait rehabilitation robot improved in entry characteristics, and more particularly to a seating-type gait rehabilitation robot improved in entry characteristics, of which a structure is concise and simple, and in which a footrest on which a trainee can put his/her foot has the minimum height to allow the trainee to easily enter and readily use the robot without any separate entry means for entry of the trainee and is placed at an entry side for the trainee to raise a gait training effect and reduce a collision risk.
Orthopaedic apparatus for treatment of arthrofibrosis
An apparatus for the treatment of arthrofibrosis, has a base having first and second opposing ends and a hole or recess adjacent the first end for enabling connection of the base to a chair to restrict movement of the base relative to the chair. A block is removably attached to the base and is movable between the first and second ends for abutting the toes of a foot of a user of the apparatus placed between the block and the hole or recess. The block is slidable along a guide on the base for enabling adjustment of the block between the first and second ends of the base. A clamp clamps the block in position on the base.

DEVICE AND METHOD FOR REVERSIBLY CONNECTING A REHABILITATION MECHANISM TO A BED, AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A REHABILITATION MECHANISM CONNECTED TO A BED
A device and a method for reversibly connecting a rehabilitation mechanism to a bed, such as a hospital bed that can be brought to a vertical position. The device has a connection element arranged on the rehabilitation mechanism; a receiving unit, which can be arranged at the side of and/or at the foot end of the bed; the receiving unit corresponds in design to the connection element; and a transport device for transporting the rehabilitation mechanism toward and away from the bed. The transport device and/or the bed is height-adjustable. A method for operating a rehabilitation mechanism connected to a bed by way of the novel device. Easy, fast, reversible connection of a rehabilitation mechanism to a conventional hospital bed is enabled, in particular to a hospital bed that can be brought to a vertical position. Existing beds can be quickly and economically retrofitted with a robot system for kinesiotherapy.
Device for converting a bed, in particular a care bed, sick bed, hospital bed, or intensive-care bed, from a horizontal position into an inclined position with respect to the logitudinal sides of the bed
A configuration for moving a bed, in particular a care bed, sick bed, or intensive-care bed, from a horizontal position into an inclined position with respect to the longitudinal sides of the bed. A receiving device for receiving the bed and a stand device for ensuring a stable stand of the configuration are operatively connected via an adjusting mechanism which inclines the receiving device relative to the stand device. The verticalization process is decoupled from the respective existing bed and thus allows a large degree of flexibility for care personnel during a routine therapy session, allowing a safe and comfortable therapy for a patient confined to a bed. The configuration according to the invention is suitable for both a new installation as well as for retrofitting medical and/or care device equipment and advantageously saves on the otherwise necessary expenditures on beds with their own verticalization mechanism.
Creeping Motion Therapy Device
A creeping motion therapy device promotes proper crawling and includes a motor coupled to a frame. Each of a right paddle and a left paddle are coupled to and slidable relative to the frame. Right and left leg supports are also coupled to and slidable relative to the frame. A linkage assembly is mechanically coupled to a main flywheel assembly mechanically coupled to the motor. Each of the right paddle, the left paddle, the right leg support, and the left leg support is mechanically coupled to the linkage assembly such that the right paddle and the left leg support move alternately backward and forward in unison and the left paddle and the right leg support move in unison in opposite to the right paddle and the left leg support wherein the right paddle, left paddle, right leg support, and left leg support mimic a creeping motion.
Retrofitted continuous passive motion devices
A method for gathering information relating to the use of a continuous passive motion device can include receiving usage information from a continuous passive motion device processing unit. The usage information can include at least one duration of time that the continuous passive motion device was used. The method can also include storing the usage information such that the usage information is available within a historical dataset. Additionally, the method can include displaying at least a portion of the usage information from the historical dataset on a graphical user interface.
