Two vertical front posts and two vertical rear posts are mounted on a flat platform of the automated device. The front posts mounted in the horizontal guide are symmetrically moved by the spacing adjustment mechanism within the range between the position of the joined front posts to a dimension between their inner surfaces equal to the width of the wheelchair, and the moved apart position to a dimension where the width dimension of the wheelchair is located between the mechanical legs suspended on the front posts. On the inner surfaces of the front posts, there are vertical guides with a screw drive mechanism for pelvic height adjustment. The mechanical legs girdle the patient's lower limbs from the outside by pelvic control units that induce a symmetrically alternating movement of the hip joint hinges in both mechanical legs with ellipsoid trajectories, and by adjustable thigh and shin connectors and foot connectors.

An apparatus for the regeneration of knee joint cartilages has a support housing on which a slide part is displaceably held. The slide part has a holding and/or supporting apparatus for a leg region below a knee joint of a leg. Furthermore, a controllable movement drive moves the slide part to and fro relative to the support housing along a predefinable adjustment path. The adjustment path is predefined such that a defined compressive/tensile loading can be applied to the knee joint. The holding and/or supporting apparatus is suitable for fixing a foot in a manner free from rotation on the slide part, and/or the support housing forms a leg support which is suitable for forming a continuous supporting surface from the foot as far as a thigh region.

A chair capable of providing somatosensory vibration based on an external signal comprises a body, a plurality of vibrators and a vibration controller. The body comprises a framework and a plurality of mesh fabrics disposed on the framework. The vibrators are hung on the framework through at least two connectors and are arranged corresponding to one of the mesh fabrics. Each of the plurality of vibrators is provided with a vibration surface directly contacting one of the mesh fabrics. Each of the plurality of vibrators operates based on at least one vibration starting signal. The vibration controller is disposed on the body and is in data connection with the vibrators. The vibration controller generates at least one vibration starting signal based on a received external signal, and provides at least one vibration starting signal to each of the plurality of vibrators in a wired or wireless manner.

An interface system in an exoskeleton includes a base support, a strap assembly, and posterior strut. The posterior strut has a vertical member defining a lower end connecting to the base support, and an upper end connecting to first and second transverse members extending in opposed directions from the vertical member. The first and second transverse members connect to the strap assembly. The interface system is adapted to receive and support an assistive device adapted to augment a user's performance and mitigate repetitive strain injuries.

An athletic player seating system; the athletic player seating system may include a seating unit having a first-seat, a center console, and a second-seat hosted on a frame. The first-seat and the second-seat each include a backrest, a seat portion, and a footrest having padded sections hosting heating elements and massagers positioned on all user-contacting surface points. The first-seat and the second-seat each further include a cooling system and a series of air vents positioned to direct air moved by the cooling system towards the first-seat and the second-seat. The seating unit also includes a first-liquid-container and a second-liquid-container for water and sports beverages. Additionally, the seating unit includes means for oxygen delivery to a user.

A therapeutic massage chair is reclinable between a horizontal and inclined position. The chair includes an upper back support member and a lower support member that is axially movable along a support frame, and is also rotatable about an axis which is perpendicular to the plane of the upper back support member. Electric linear actuators are provided to recline the therapeutic massage chair, and both axially move and oscillate the lower body support member. The therapeutic massage chair may be fitted with a controller system which allows the chair to be operated wirelessly from a mobile device running a mobile application, which may communicate with a web-based portal and/or database.

A massage device comprising a base portion having a first main surface, a plurality of support elements arranged in an array pattern about a first main surface of the base portion and extending through the first main surface thereof, and a massage member supportable by any one of the plurality of support elements, wherein the massage device is configured such that a user can rotate the massage member about an end portion of the massage member supported by the desired support element so as to exert a force on the user's body, thereby effecting a massaging of a portion of the user's body.

A method for performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) includes elevating the heart of an individual to a first height relative to a lower body of the individual. The lower body may be in a substantially horizontal plane. The method may also include elevating the head of the individual to a second height relative to the lower body of the individual. The second height may be greater than the first height. The method may further include performing one or more of a type of CPR or a type of intrathoracic pressure regulation while elevating the heart and the head. The first height and the second height may be determined based on one or both of the type of CPR or the type of intrathoracic pressure regulation.

A exercise roller device including a center roller portion provided with shaped end roller portions, and the center roller portion provided with a centered circumferential groove. A method of making the exercise roller device.
