Stationary automated device for lower limb rehabilitation
20230051898 · 2023-02-16 ·

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.

APPARATUS, METHOD AND SET FOR THE REGENERATION OF KNEE JOINT CARTILAGES
20230050651 · 2023-02-16 ·

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 leg actuation apparatus includes two driven axes, wherein onto each one a distal parallelogram mechanism is attached with one connector being attached in a torque proof manner, wherein the other end of the arm being rotatably connected to an intermediate axis. One proximal parallelogram mechanism is rotatably attached at each intermediate axis and at transfer axes connected to the leg attachment elements to be attached to the upper and lower leg of a user. The distal ends of the lower parallelogram mechanism and the distal ends of the upper parallelogram mechanism can freely glide along the respective first and second driven axis.

FASCIA ACTIVATION AND TRAINING DEVICE AND METHODS OF USE
20230038662 · 2023-02-09 ·

Fascia activation and training devices having an adjustable length, collapsible, elongate device body having opposing ends to which open ended interchangeable cuffs are removably mounted. The end cuffs of the training devices provide for inward and/or outward compression forces to be applied by a user's body members engaging such end cuffs, thereby enhancing fascial activation and training, and providing users with proprioceptive feedback, making motor learning in biomechanical retraining through fascia remodeling possible. Methods of use of such training devices provide for the use of multiple types of training devices in combination, resulting in the enhanced training of biomechanical chains of muscles.

Hip traction device, system, and methods
11590043 · 2023-02-28 ·

A hip traction device, system, and associated methods are disclosed. Such a device may include a base having a proximal end and a distal end, a guide coupled to the base, a carrier configured to move along the guide upon receiving a force from a tensioner to move the carrier toward the distal end of the base, causing a leg to be put in tension, and a single body coupling mechanism either removably attachable or permanently attached to the carrier and configured to securely attach to a lower portion of a leg, such that the portion of the leg moves with the carrier during operation of the tensioner.

Wearable device and operation method of the wearable device

A wearable device is disclosed. The wearable device may process a state variable defined based on motion information of a user, determine an interactive mode of the wearable device based on a gain associated with a magnitude of a torque of the wearable device, select a motion type from among motion types of the determined interactive mode based on a gait parameter of the user, determine a control factor for the torque based on the selected motion type, and generate the torque based on the processed state variable, the gain, and the determined control factor.
