An interface system in an exoskeleton includes a base support, a strap assembly, and posterior strut. The posterior strut has a vertical member defining a lower end connecting to the base support, and an upper end connecting to first and second transverse members extending in opposed directions from the vertical member. The first and second transverse members connect to the strap assembly. The interface system is adapted to receive and support an assistive device adapted to augment a user's performance and mitigate repetitive strain injuries.

A flexible anchor member comprising a member for placement about a body part; at least one substantially inextensible textile element circumscribing the member and secured to itself or the member; and a force transfer coupler coupling a portion of the at least one substantially inextensible textile element to an actuator such that the substantially inextensible textile element constricts about the member for a duration of an applied force. Another flexible anchor member comprising an outer member including a substantially inextensible textile material configured for directing a force applied by an actuator to act upon all or a portion of the body part; an inner member for positioning between the body part and the outer member, a first surface of the inner member configured for frictionally engaging the body part or intervening clothing; and at least one coupler for coupling the outer member and the inner member.

A wearable upper limb rehabilitation training robot with precise force control includes a wearable belt, a multi-degree-of-freedom robot arm, and a control box. The robot is worn on the waist of a person by using a belt, and driven by active actuators, to implement active and passive rehabilitation training in such degrees of freedom as adduction/abduction/anteflexion/extension of left and right shoulder joints and anteflexion/extension of left and right elbow joints. In addition, a force/torque sensor is mounted on a tip of the robot arm, to obtain a force between the tip of the robot arm and the human hand during rehabilitation training as a feedback signal, to adjust an operating state of the robot, thereby realizing the precise force control during the rehabilitation training.

An embodiment rehabilitation robot control apparatus includes a brainwave signal measuring device configured to measure a brainwave signal of a user, a preprocessing device configured to preprocess the measured brainwave signal, a classification device configured to classify a motor intention of the user based on the brainwave signal preprocessed by the preprocessing device, and a controller configured to reflect the motor intention of the user in real time to control an operation or a stop of a rehabilitation robot.

An embodiment includes an exoskeleton robotic system including: a first linkage; a bearing coupled to the first linkage; a joint including a motor configured to move the first linkage along the bearing; an axial load sensor configured to sense an axial force transmitted to the axial load sensor via the joint, the axial force including one of tension or compression but not torque; a bracket including first and second bracket locations and first and second arms; and a housing that includes at least part of the joint and which couples the bracket to the bearing. The bracket couples to the housing at the first bracket location and couples to the axial load sensor at the second bracket location. The first arm couples the second arm to the first bracket location, and the second arm couples the first arm to the second bracket location.

The invention relates to a wearable device for determining a nature of motion and/or a physiological state of a wearer. The wearable device comprises a body portion configured to be worn by the wearer and at least one sensor mounted to the body portion configured to, while the wearable device is being worn, detect a motion parameter of the wearer and/or a physiological parameter of the wearer and generate input data indicative of the motion parameter and/or the physiological parameter. The wearable device further comprises a processor configured to receive the input data from the at least one sensor and process the input data by executing an algorithm to determine the nature of motion and/or the physiological state of the wearer while the wearable device is being worn. The invention further relates to a system for determining a nature of motion and/or a physiological state of a wearer.

A driving module including a driving source configured to generate power, a gear train including a decelerating gear set configured to receive driving power from the driving source and a ring gear attached to one side thereof, and a rotary joint including at least one planetary gear configured to rotate using power received from an output end of the decelerating gear set and to revolve along the ring gear is disclosed.

Disclosed is a rehabilitation training apparatus. The rehabilitation training apparatus includes a pair of first tracks formed parallel to each other along first axis, a second track disposed on the pair of first tracks, and moving along the first axis, and formed along second axis, a hand holder disposed on the second track, and moving along the second track, and on which at least one of hand and arm of a user is held, a stopper for a track disposed on the pair of first tracks for limiting a movement range of the second track, and a stopper for a holder disposed on the second track for limiting a movement range of the second pair of first tracks, wherein the first axis and the second axis are disposed with an inclination.

Devices and methods for treating carpal tunnel syndrome or DeQuervain's syndrome. The device may include a resting portion for receiving a user's forearm, first and second contact portions configured to contact the user's forearm, and a stretching mechanism configured to apply opposing forces to the first contact portion and the second contact portion to stretch the user's underlying tissue. The first contact portion may be configured to apply a compressive force to the user's forearm at a first location. The second contact portion may be configured to apply a compressive force to the user's forearm at a second location different than the first location.

An exercise apparatus includes a linear arm portion having an elongate arm member with proximal and distal ends and an elongate support member having proximal and distal ends. The arm member can be slidably mounted to the support member by a sliding joint. A linear arm brake assembly can be coupled to the arm member for resisting linear motion of the arm member. A torso portion can be included to which the linear arm portion is rotatably mounted about a second axis by rotary shoulder joint. The linear arm portion can be configured, and the rotary shoulder joint can be positioned along the length of the support member at a location that substantially balances the linear arm portion about the rotary shoulder joint at least when the arm member is in the retracted position.
