A walking assist device includes: a pair of right and left handles that are movable back and forth with respect to a frame in accordance with arm swing performed during walk of a user; rails on which the handles are provided and which limit movement of the handles in a movable range in accordance with arm swing performed during the walk of the user; a handle information acquisition unit that acquires information related to movement of the handles; and a control unit that controls a drive unit in accordance with the information from the handle information acquisition unit.

A vibration appliance includes a vibration-isolation structure which substantially reduces vibration felt by the user at the handle. The vibration motor is mounted to a vibration plate which carries the massage node. The vibration plate floats within the vibration appliance housing, being suspended by a flexible, elastomer membrane having contours such as curves or folds in it that provide freedom of movement of the vibration plate relative to the housing to which the flexible membrane is mounted. This arrangement can be thought of as the motor and vibration node being mounted on a flexible diaphragm that can move freely as if mounted to the housing by a bellows-like arrangement.

The inventive concept relates to a wearable hand robot mounted on a finger to bend the finger by an external force transmitted through a wire. The wearable hand robot is capable of preventing an injury to a user's hand by the wire, achieving simplification of the structure of a finger cap and an improvement in a wearing sensation, and stably moving the finger while having a tactile sensation.

A walking training system includes a treadmill configured to prompt a trainee to walk, a display device installed such that the trainee views the display device while walking on the treadmill, a camera configured to image the trainee at an angle of view at which a gait of the trainee is recognizable, a calculation unit configured to calculate a tilt of a body core of the walking trainee based on an image captured by the camera, and a display control unit configured to control the display device to display a body core line associated with the tilt, and an index indicating at least an end of a permissible range of a deflection of the body core line.

A hand exoskeleton includes at least one mechanical finger and a mechanical palm; and the mechanical finger includes a finger section, a rod assembly and a motor, the finger section includes a first finger section and a second finger section, and the rod assembly includes a first rod assembly and a second rod assembly. The motor capable of controlling the hand exoskeleton is arranged in the hand exoskeleton, and motion constraint on the finger section is realized by constraining a rod through the motor in the movement process of the hand exoskeleton, so that motion limitation on the hand exoskeleton is realized.

An exercise and therapeutic device includes a treadmill comprising a running belt coupled to a treadmill frame and an offloading system coupled to the treadmill. The offloading system includes an air chamber surrounding the running belt adapted to be selectively inflated between a deflated condition and an inflated, operating condition, a user seal coupled to the air chamber, adapted to receive a user so that, in an operating condition, at least a portion of a user is received in the user seal and positioned within the air chamber and to seal the air chamber around the user, a pump operable to inflate the air chamber, at least one strap coupled to the treadmill frame and adapted to restrict the expansion of the air chamber and adjust a spacing of the user seal relative to a running surface of the running belt when the air chamber is inflated.

The invention relates to a robotic walker (1) including a chassis (10) having a front portion (10a), a rear portion (10b), wheels (11a, 11b, 12) arranged to support the rear portion (10b) and the front portion (10a) of the chassis (10), one of the wheels (11a, 11b, 12) being coupled to a displacement motor (20), the robotic walker (1) including a control module (40) configured to control the displacement motor (20), and to: Determine an indicator of an involuntary movement of a user of the robotic walker (1) that could lead to a fall, based on values generated by one or several sensor(s); Identify a previous position, at the given moment, of at least two wheels (11a, 11b, 12); Transmit a command to stop the robotic walker (1); Transmit a command to move the robotic walker (1) so that it returns to the previous position.

Disclosed is a hand-held sanitary device and to an impermeable and essentially biodegradable personal-hygiene sachet which can be filled with water and used for washing intimate body parts by gentle rubbing. The sanitary device chiefly includes a stop piece, a ring, a spring for keeping the personal-hygiene sachet sealed, a valve and connection to a water heater and dryer which is controlled by the valve. It can be used with running-water toilet bowls, without the need to use toilet paper. The sanitary device is particularly intended for the surface washing of intimate body parts, for vaginal washing, re-establishing pelvic-floor muscle tone, and pleasurable vaginal stimulation in women, using the hygienic sachet intended for each use.

A smart walking assistance device with a walker frame having generally vertical sides and an intersecting front. Wheels located at both ends of a bottom edge of the sides. A soft robotic sensing handle extends in a C shape along the upper edges of the sides and front. The sensing handle has multiple contiguous air filled chambers, each containing a pressure sensor for producing a pressure signal representing the pressure within the chamber. A microcontroller unit receives the pressure signals from the pressure sensors of the handle chambers and determines the status of at least one of the device and a user of the device based on the pressure signals. A stabilization mechanism is driven by the microcontroller so as to stabilize the walker in response to the determined status of at least one of the walker and the user.

An apparatus including a walker and a guider attached to the walker. The guider has three sides. The first side of the three sides attaches to a front of the walker. The second side of the three sides attaches to a first side of the walker. The third side of the three sides attaches to a second side of the walker.
