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.

A walking assist device includes: a pair of right and left handles that are movable back and forth with respect to a frame in accordance with arm swing performed during walk of a user; rails on which the handles are provided and which limit movement of the handles in a movable range in accordance with arm swing performed during the walk of the user; a handle information acquisition unit that acquires information related to movement of the handles; and a control unit that controls a drive unit in accordance with the information from the handle information acquisition unit.

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.

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.

The present disclosure provides a brace system including an upper portion and a lower portion. The brace system may also include a first pulley rotatably coupling the upper portion to a first intermediate link positioned between the upper portion and the lower portion. The brace system may also include a second pulley rotatably coupling the first intermediate link to a second intermediate link positioned between the upper portion and the lower portion. The brace system may also include a third pulley rotatably coupling the second intermediate link to the lower portion. Further, the brace system may include at least one tension-bearing element substantially encircling each of the first pulley, the second pulley, and the third pulley.

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.

An apparatus is disclosed comprising an upper frame and a lower frame together connected by at least one lifting means, wherein the lower frame comprises two sidebars connected at opposite ends of a lower crossbar to form a “U” shape, wherein the upper frame comprises two handrails, each having a free end and an attachment end, wherein the attachment end of each handrail is rotatably connected to an upper crossbar, and the lifting means are disposed between the lower crossbar and upper crossbar such that the upper frame experiences a force exerted by the lifting means when the handrails parallel to a plane formed by the lower frame. In another embodiment, the apparatus is a walker having a harness in removable communication with the handrails.

A multifunctional massager may include a frame body, and two first connecting bases are respectively formed at two ends of the frame body at symmetrical positions. Each of the two first connecting bases comprises three connecting bears at the inner surface thereof, and the connecting bears on the two first connecting bases are located at corresponding positions. An accommodating space is formed between the two first connecting bases. A massage member installed on the fame body between the two first connecting bases comprises a driving motor, a driving shaft, two connecting rods, and two driven shafts. The driving motor is connected to and drives the driving shaft, and two eccentric wheels are connected to two ends of the driving shaft. The two eccentric wheels are adapted to eccentrically drive the two connecting rods to carry out the reciprocating actions of internal pull and external push.

A device for mobilizing the human osteo-musculotendinous system, including a kneepad arranged to cover a knee of a human user so as to keep the knee in the kneepad, and arranged to exert, on the knee covered by the kneepad, a mobilizing force, the mobilizing force applying pressure to the knee and being directed towards a bearing surface arranged so that the user's pelvis can bear against said surface and a means for increasing the mobilizing force.
