Apparatus for stimulating synchronized body motions of a user
An apparatus and method are provided for imparting a repetitive motion to a user. The apparatus may include one or more seat platforms and one or more backrests. Repeated motion of the pelvis and shoulders of the user may be contra lateral. The motions of the user may mimic walking. The apparatus may include a chair. The apparatus may include a sensor. The sensor may be used to control the apparatus and/or the sensor may be used to adjust the movement regime according to the user. The apparatus may help for example, to mobilize limited mobility users and/or to train healthier habits.
FOOT SPA TUB PUMP AND METHOD
A foot spa tub includes a tub basin, a first magnetic drive member rotatably coupled to a drive motor, and a first casing supporting the magnetic drive member. The first casing is disposed against an exterior surface of a sidewall of the basin. A second magnetic drive member is rotatably coupled to a blade. The first and second magnetic drive members are magnetically coupled to each other so that the blade is drivingly coupled to the drive motor. A nozzle houses the second magnetic drive member and the blade. The nozzle is detachably securable to an interior surface of the sidewall by a magnetic attraction force between the first and second magnetic drive members. A method of circulating liquid in a foot tub spa is also provided.
Massage machine
A massage machine includes a seat unit on which a treatment subject person is configured to sit, a backrest unit configured to support a back of the person sitting on the seat unit, a base that is disposed in front of the backrest unit; and a treatment mechanism that is attached to the base configured to perform a massage on a shoulder of the person in a state where the person sits on the seat unit. The treatment mechanism includes a drive unit which includes an output shaft attached to the base and rotated by supplied power, and a treatment device configured to press the shoulder from above. In accordance with rotation of the output shaft, the treatment device oscillates in an upward/downward direction so as to perform the treatment on the shoulder.
ROBOTIZED WALKER AND ASSOCIATED METHOD FOR PREVENTING FALLS
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.
Portable Oscillating Compression System
Portable oscillating compression systems including a compressor for compressing air; an accumulator tank for receiving and storing the compressed air from the air compressor; an air pressure adjustment module for modulating pressure of the compressed air when the compressed air exits the accumulator tank; a valve body assembly attached to the accumulator tank, a plurality of inflatable cuffs connected to the valve body assemble for receiving the compressed air from the valve body assembly; a controller for controlling the valve body assembly; a power supply; and a housing for containing said system.

ADULT PLEASURE ENHANCEMENT NECK PRESSURE CUFF WITH SAFETY RELEASE
The invention relates to an adult choke pleasure enhancement adjustable pressure cuff device. Participants can engage in solo autoerotic asphyxiation (AEA) without accidentally suffocating to death. The adjustable cuff is inflatable and sized to encompass a participant's neck and has a timed safety release function. The participant can apply the device at default setting to fit snugly, but not impede blood flow. The participant can inflate the device to the desired level of pressure that would remain at that setting at participant's discretion. They can control what happens and for how long, as long as the participant is not incapacitated. However, if at any time, the controls/settings are not engaged by the participant, the device would automatically default to zero pressure after a set time. The use of the device therefore allows a participant to safely engage in solo AEA without risking injury or death.
MOVABLE LIMB COMPRESSION AND CIRCULATION APPARATUS
Provided is a limb compression and circulation apparatus in which, due to a small and light body and a rechargeable power supply device, the limb compression and circulation apparatus is usable regardless of place while being worn and used by a user who is moving. The limb compression and circulation apparatus may include a first air hose connected to one end of an air pressurization portion to send air generated by the air pressurization portion and a plurality of second air hoses connected to the other end of the first air hose and allowing the air generated by the air pressurization portion to diverge and to blow into an air cuff so as to perform effective air divergence. The limb compression and circulation apparatus may prevent air leakage by coupling an air inlet/outlet hole of a second adaptor with an air hose to communicate with each other.
LEG MASSAGER
A leg massager achieves easy changing of massaging positions and is also adaptable to user's legs of varying lengths by using a position-adjustable massaging system for performing massage on massage target areas of a user's legs. The leg massager includes a lower massaging system for massaging a massage target area of the user's leg including at least the user's foot; an upper massaging system for massaging an upper massage target area located above the massage target area which is massaged by the lower massaging system; a rockably supporting system that supports the upper massaging system for rocking motion about a horizontal-pointing axis in a front-rear direction; and a vertically moving system that permits up-and-down movement of the upper massaging system.
WALKING TRAINING SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND CONTROL PROGRAM
A walking training device according to the present embodiment includes: a robot leg attached to one leg of a trainee; a treadmill; a load distribution sensor that detects a distribution of a load received from a sole of the trainee riding on the belt of the treadmill; and a walking state determination unit that determines whether the one leg has switched from a standing state to a swinging state based on a state of increase in a load detected by the load distribution sensor and received from another leg of the trainee performing walking training; and a control unit that starts bending control for the swinging state of the robot leg when the walking state determination unit determines that the one leg has switched from the standing state to the swinging state.
