The present application discloses rehabilitation exercise equipment and a rope transmission device, comprising a device main body, a transmission assembly, a rope winding shaft, an oscillating piece, and two ropes. The transmission assembly is provided in the device main body, the rope winding shaft is rotatably connected to the transmission assembly, at least one continuous rope winding spiral groove is provided along the peripheral edge of the outer wall of the rope winding shaft, the rope winding spiral groove has an inner end close to the transmission assembly and an outer end remote from the transmission assembly, and the oscillating piece is provided in the device main body in such a manner that the oscillating shaft around which the oscillating piece oscillates is collinear with the rotation axis of the rope winding shaft.

A rotating cushioning and assisting mechanism comprises a rotating outward expanding member, an elastic return member, and an inner support heterogeneous member; the rotating outward expanding member comprises a first rotating member and a second rotating member, which enclose to form an expandable compartment; the elastic return member is connected to the free ends of the first rotating member and the second rotating member; and the inner support heterogeneous member is rotationally disposed in the expandable compartment. When an external force drives the inner support heterogeneous member to rotate in the expandable compartment, a work done by the force exerted by the inner support heterogeneous member is converted into elastic potential energy to be stored; when the external force is over, the elastic potential energy is released and converted into kinetic energy to help the free ends of the two rotating members to move close.

A sitting type spinal traction and disc massage apparatus includes a seat member, a seat pad disposed atop the seat member, a fixing member straddling the seat member and the seat pad and connected to the seat member to fix hips of a user to the seat member, and a moving backrest board disposed atop a rear end of the seat member. The moving backrest board is movable relative to the seat member. A restricting member straddles and is connected to the moving backrest board to fix the user's upper body to the moving backrest board. A lifting unit is disposed below the moving backrest board to move the moving backrest board upwardly from the seat member to stretch the user's spine. A vibrating unit is disposed within and vibrates the seat pad.

A frame includes a front segment extending across an anterior side of a human and a back segment extending across a posterior side of the human in a fixed spatial relationship. A clamp bar extends between the front segment and the back segment to interface with a first lateral side of the human at a location between an ilium bone structure and a thoracic cage of the human. A lateral restraint is positioned between the front segment and the back segment and is configured to interface with a second lateral side of the human over an engagement area corresponding to a portion of the thoracic cage of the human. A downward treatment force is applied to the frame at a location opposite the clamp bar from the lateral restraint. The human works to laterally translate their spinal column toward the lateral restraint to maintain the frame in a near-level orientation.

The invention may be embodied in a physical therapy or health maintenance stretching system including a frame configured for engaging a treated leg of a user at or near the popliteal space of the treated leg to allow a knee of the treated leg to bend inwards in response to gravitational force affecting a lower portion of the treated leg. The frame may be further configured to allow a knee of the treated leg to bend inwards in response to a user force directly or indirectly applied to the lower portion of the treated leg.

Various implementations include a method of decreasing oxygen saturation levels in a patient, including securing a leg and foot of the patient to a splint having a leg supporting portion, a foot supporting portion, and an inflatable device. The leg supporting portion includes a leg support body and leg support surface. The foot supporting portion includes a foot support body and foot support surface. The inflatable device rotates the foot support surface relative to the leg support surface from a first position to a second position. The angle between a leg longitudinal axis and a foot longitudinal axis is less in the second position than in the first position. The method further includes inflating the inflatable device to rotate the foot support surface from the first position to the second position and maintaining the second position to decrease oxygen saturation levels in the patient.

Provided herein are devices and methods for analysis and/or exercise of a body region of a subject. Such devices may include a guide arm supported by a support frame; a receiving surface supported by the guide arm, the receiving surface for receiving input force from the subject; and a motor assembly in communication with the guide arm, the motor assembly controlling movement of the receiving surface based on received input force. Exercise and/or analysis methods described herein may include steps of instructing the subject to apply an input force to a receiving surface; sensing the applied input force over time; and controlling movement of the receiving surface based on the received input force using a motor assembly, whereby the motor assembly moves the receiving surface in a pre-determined direction, so long as the input force remains within an allowable tolerance, until a pre-set end position is reached.

Systems and methods for robotic and exoskeleton hands are provided. An exoskeleton hand can include a flexible actuator having a cavity and a reinforcement band. The cavity can be filled with a fluid from a pressure source, forcing the actuator to deform, bend or extend. The fluid that fills the cavity as a driving force can be a gas or liquid, which can be recyclable or disposable.

Provided is a rehabilitation training apparatus for an ankle joint. The rehabilitation training apparatus comprises a working platform, a Z-axis rotating mechanism, a Y-axis rotating mechanism, an X-axis rotating mechanism, and a pedal. The Y-axis rotating mechanism includes an annular bracket vertically fastened to a driving arm of the Z-axis rotating mechanism, an annular sliding cover slidably disposed on one side wall of the annular bracket, a Y-axis driving mechanism for driving the annular sliding cover to rotate around the axis of the annular bracket, and a sliding block for locating the annular sliding cover. The Y-axis driving mechanism synchronously rotates with the annular sliding cover and the X-axis rotating mechanism is fastened to one side of the annular sliding cover.

A device for spine rehabilitation comprising a support frame, immovable crossbars, movable crossbars, and a holder and systems of actuators supporting a patient's head, shoulders, hip, knees, and feet , characterised in that it is equipped with linear actuators (8) mounted to the holder (7) supporting the patient's head and shoulders, whereby the holder (7) has a driving mechanism (9) situated horizontally and mounted to an immovable crossbar (6) of the support frame (1) and in its lower part is rotationally mounted, at the rotation point (10) of the holder, to the immovable crossbar (6). A method for spine rehabilitation using the device for lateral deviation of the patient's torso, whereby the patient's body situated horizontally, face up, is lifted on eight sling hangers taking hold of his/her head and his/her back in the points of shoulder girdle and pelvis girdle.
