A rehabilitation device is provided, including a base, a finger sleeve assembly and a thumb sleeve assembly. The finger sleeve assembly includes a finger frame rotatably connected to the base and including first linkage slots, first linkage mechanisms disposed within the first linkage slots, and a first actuator rotatably connected to the base and a first actuator slot of the finger frame and configured to drive the finger frame so that the first linkage mechanisms are swingable with the finger frame. The thumb sleeve assembly includes a thumb frame rotatably connected to the base and including a second actuator slot, a second linkage mechanism disposed within the second actuator slot, and a second actuator rotatably connected to the base and a second actuator slot of the thumb frame and configured to drive the thumb so that the second linkage mechanism is swingable with the thumb frame.

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 motion assistance apparatus includes a proximal frame configured to support a proximal part of a user, a connecting frame rotatably connected to the proximal frame, a distal frame rotatably connected to the connecting frame and configured to support a distal part of the user, and a power transmitter including a slider configured to slide along the proximal frame, a pusher rotatably connected to the distal frame and the slider, and a coupler configured to connect the slider and the pusher and positioned closer to the proximal part of the user than a rotation axis of the connecting frame in the whole range of motion.

A percussive massage device that includes a housing, an electrical source, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, a push rod assembly operatively connected to the motor and configured to reciprocate in response to activation of the motor, a massage attachment configured to be removably attached to the push rod, and an attachment module operatively connected to the housing. The housing includes first, second, and third handle portions that cooperate to define a handle opening, wherein the first handle portion defines a first axis, the second handle portion defines a second axis and the third handle portion defines a third axis, and wherein the first, second, and third axes cooperate to form a triangle.

Provided is an artificial muscle device, including a plurality of heat transfer modules including a thermal conductive body in which a plurality of tunnels parallel to each other and a thermoelectric element contacting an outer surface of the thermal conductive body, a connection member connecting a first heat transfer module to a second heat transfer module, the connection member being folded or unfolded according to a distance between the first heat transfer module and the second heat transfer module, a thermal reaction driving member passing through each of the tunnels, the thermal reaction driving member being stretched or contracted in a longitudinal direction of the tunnel according to a temperature of the thermal reaction driving member, and a power transmission part connected to an end of the thermal reaction driving member.

A rehabilitation assisting apparatus has a main body, a waist assisting unit mounted above the main body, and two leg assisting units separately disposed side by side above the main body. Each of the leg assisting units is pivotally connected with the waist assisting unit. An upper rocking plate of the waist assisting unit can be driven to roll leftward and rightward to rehabilitate or train a waist of a user. A leg lifting bracket of each of the leg assisting unit can be driven to pitch upward and downward to rehabilitate or train a leg of the user.

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.

A motion assistance apparatus includes a shank frame configured to support a shank of a user, a thigh frame configured to rotate relative to the shank frame and support a thigh of the user, and a driving frame configured to assist a motion of a hip joint of the user by transmitting power directly or indirectly to the shank frame.

This massage head includes a housing, having two active members emerging from the lower surface thereof, having its free lower edge, opposite to the housing, intended to be in contact with a patient's skin. One at least of said active members is formed of a flap hinged within the housing and capable of being pivoted to bring the lower edges of said active members closer to each other or draw them away from each other, the relative displacement of said at least one flap being ensured by means of a rotary cam formed within the housing, the rotation axis of the cam being oriented substantially parallel to the displacement direction of said at least one flap. The cam includes at least one cam track formed on its periphery, intended to cooperate with the flap support(s), having one or their ends hinged in the housing.

A communication robot for operating a massage providing apparatus by executing an artificial intelligence algorithm (AI) and/or machine learning algorithm in a 5G environment connected for the Internet of things and a method for operating the communication robot are provided. The method for operating the communication robot may include acquiring a spoken utterance of a user positioned within a prescribed range from the massage providing apparatus, tracking a spoken utterance direction of the user from the spoken utterance of the user, orienting the communication robot towards the spoken utterance direction of the user, acquiring a voice command included in the spoken utterance in relation to operation of the massage providing apparatus, and operating the massage providing apparatus according to the voice command.
