The drive mechanism includes a first sensor configured to sense an operating condition of the drive mechanism. The patient support mechanism couples to the trolley and includes a tether and a second sensor. The tether can be operatively coupled to a patient such that the patient support mechanism supports the patient. The second sensor is configured to sense an operating condition of the patient support mechanism. The electronic system is included in the trolley and has at least a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to define a gait characteristic of the patient based at least in part on a signal received from the first sensor and a signal received from the second sensor.

A spinal therapy apparatus includes one or more manipulating assemblies. In some examples a first manipulating member is arranged to engage a spine at a first vertebral area between a spinous process and a transverse process on a first side of a spine and a second manipulating member is arranged to engage the spine at a second vertebral area between a spinous process and a transverse process on the first side of the spine. The first and second manipulating members are coupled together at their proximal ends to permit the first and second manipulating members to be driven simultaneously and the coupling permits motion of the first and second manipulating members relative to one another in an axial direction. In other examples a drive system is adapted to drive first and second manipulating members simultaneously and independently. The disclosure also relates to a spinal therapy bed including such manipulating assemblies and methods of using and training spinal therapy devices.

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.

A massage motion control method, a robot controller using the same, and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: calculating a robot end desired speed and a robot end desired angular speed corresponding to a desired massage trajectory of a massage robot to compensate using two obtained robot end compensation amounts in the case that the desired massage trajectory for a target massage area at a current control cycle, a robot end speed compensation amount meeting a desired massage intensity requirement, and a robot end angular speed compensation amount adapted to an environmental curvature of the target massage area are obtained, and controlling the massage robot by determining a corresponding to-be-outputted joint angle based on motion parameter(s) obtained by the compensation. In this manner, the adaptive change of the massage position and the massage intensity for the massage area of the patient can be realized.

The device according to the invention is used for a cardiopulmonary massaging and/or resuscitation of a patient and is provided with a massage stamp (17) which can be reversibly driven by a drive device in an actuation direction (18) and which has a pressure surface (31) that can be positioned at a contact region on the chest (12) of a patient (11). In order to ensure that the chest compressions are interrupted upon reaching a specified compression force, the massage stamp (17) has a stamp upper part (19) and a stamp lower part (20) which is operatively connected to the stamp upper part (19). The stamp upper part (19) and the stamp lower part (20) can be adjusted relative to each other in the actuation direction (18) at least between a first position which defines a working length (L) and a second position in which an effective length (1) of the massage stamp (17) is shortened compared to the working length (L). In the first position, the stamp upper part (19) is locked with the stamp lower part (20) by means of a releasable locking mechanism (21) and the locking mechanism (21) is released upon reaching or exceeding a specified compression force transmitted by the massage stamp (17).

A hand-held low-noise shock-absorbing electric massager includes a lower shell, an upper shell, and a moving shaft rod. A right end of the moving shaft rod is provided with a massage head. The hand-held low-noise shock-absorbing electric massager further includes a transmission module bracket. An outer side wall of the moving shaft rod is coaxially provided with a shaft sleeve lubricating member. The driving part is arranged at a left end of the transmission module bracket. Two sides of the transmission module bracket are each provided with a first shock-absorbing member. The moving shaft rod is installed on the shell through the transmission module bracket. The transmission module bracket is integrated, which can ensure consistency and stability of the moving shaft rod in high-speed linear motion, that is, vibration between the moving shaft rod and the transmission module bracket is reduced during motion, and noise is also reduced.

Provided is a massage module having an improved degree of freedom, and more particularly, to a massage module having an improved degree of freedom, which, when a force is applied to the massage module, may provide a safe massage to the body of a user by buffering the force. To this end, the massage module may include a massage part that provides a massage to the body of a user, a tilting part that is disposed on one side of the massage part and controls rotation of the massage part, and a height adjustment part that is connected to the tilting part and adjusts a height of the massage part, wherein the massage part includes at least one buffer part disposed at a portion of the massage part that is directly coupled to the tilting part.

A gait trainer adapted for use with a treadmill and, optionally, a spinning cycle, provides greater accessibility for therapeutic and rehabilitative gait pattern training to individuals confronting injury, illness, or disability. The gait trainer is adjustable, to accommodate a wide variety of users with different stride lengths and needs.

A CPR apparatus includes a chest compression unit and a means for mounting the chest compression unit on a patient. The chest compression unit includes a plunger disposed in a housing. At its one end extending from the housing the plunger has a compression member. The plunger is driven in a reciprocating manner by a reversible electromotor via a mechanism for translating rotational motion to linear motion or by a linear induction electromotor. The chest compression unit includes an electromotor control unit including a microprocessor, a first monitor for monitoring the position of the plunger in respect of the housing and a second monitor for monitoring the position of the plunger in respect of the mechanism for translating rotational motion to linear motion or the rotor of the linear induction electromotor. The monitored positions are communicated to the electromotor control unit. Also disclosed is a corresponding CPR method.

A compression device for freeing a ring trapped on a digit includes a rigid outer body. The rigid outer body includes a digit cavity extending from a cavity opening at a body proximal end of the body towards a body distal end of the body, a fluid inlet, and a fluid flow path fluidly connecting the fluid inlet to one or more inflation chambers positioned in the digit cavity. The body proximal end includes an upper portion, a lower portion, and two laterally spaced-apart side portions. At least one side portion is distally recessed as compared to the upper and lower portions to accommodate an interdigital fold. At least one flexible bladder lines the digit cavity, each flexible bladder defining at least one wall of one of the one or more inflation chambers.
