A novel shoulder brace that can provide active dynamic support to an injured shoulder while providing the capability to also raise the attached arm and support the arm in an elevated position. The brace can be used both in conjunction with a rehabilitation intervention program to maintain or restore range of motion and strength and to assist in functional tasks at work and at home. The brace works by supporting a locking or ratchet mechanism connected to an arm cuff from a chest piece that, when desired, the user can move the arm connected to an injured shoulder and supported by the arm cuff from a normal side resting position to an elevated position 90 degrees from the resting position while transferring the load created by the arm and whatever the hand is holding back to the chest piece and to the torso of the user. A release mechanism can be used to release the locking or ratchet mechanism to let the user lower their arm back to a resting position.

A reconfigurable water distribution system for a walk-in tub bathing installation including two or more types of discharge ports for discharging water. The system includes a single motorized pump having an input connected to a suction port of the bathing installation, and an output port delivering pressurized water. A pipe system selectively connects the pump to the two or more types of discharge ports to selectively direct the pressurized water to the different ones of the types of discharge ports. The system selectively enables the bathing installation to perform a plurality of different functions using a single pump.

An active backboard that can assist with adjusting a patient on the backboard to ensure that the backboard is correctly aligned for a compression mechanism of an upper portion of a mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) device to perform compressions. The active backboard can also include multiple layers that can slide or move relative to each other to move the patient relative to the backboard. The active backboard can include roller bars, a wheel, and/or projections to assist with moving a patient relative to the backboard.

A stretching machine includes a table having a surface for supporting a patient and a first leg rest for supporting and moving a first leg of the patient. The first leg rest has a first vertical frame operable to rotate around a first horizontal pivot point at an end of the table and a first horizontal frame operable to rotate around a first vertical pivot point on the first vertical frame. A first vertical actuator is for rotating the first vertical frame around the first horizontal pivot point to move the first leg rest in a vertical direction relative to the surface of the table, and a first horizontal actuator is for rotating the first horizontal frame around the first vertical pivot point to move the first leg rest in a horizontal direction relative to the first vertical frame.

A machine that combines three sections bound to each other by the corresponding dynamic swivels that are driven from a remote control of adjustment and command (R). The first section constitutes the main body (A) wherein a fixed frame whereby a sliding carriage (D) is defined, which is arranged associated with a first motor reducer (M1) which drives its rectilinear movement, in the horizontal plane and in both senses; said sliding carriage (D), by one end, is bound to an intermediate arm (B), which makes up the second section of the machine, being arranged over a pivoting transverse axis that is into a first dynamic swivel, which is arranged associated to a second driving motor reducer (M2) so that said intermediate arm (B) may make a pivoting movement in the vertical plane, with circular direction in both senses; said intermediate arm (B), by its other end, is bound to a head of the massage actuator (C), that makes up the third section of the machine, being arranged over a transverse axis that forms a second dynamic swivel, which is arranged associated to a third driving motor reducer (M3) so that said head of massage actuator may make a pivoting movement in the vertical plane, with circular direction in both senses; an actuator piston (P) is arranged into the head of the massage actuator (C) which transforms the rotating movement that transmits the output axis of a fourth motor reducer into an alternative linear movement that is transmitted to the piston for massage (23); constituting the four motor reducers an electronic driving installation by remote control, through which the positioning of each of the mobile parts duly bound to the rotating coders and end-of-travel positions is commanded. The electronic driving installation is comprised of the electronic controlling plate (E) installed in the main body (A) and includes a remote control processor (MP2) that receives the order, processes the information and sends it through the FR antenna (a4) of the remote control (R), to the FR antenna (a1) of the electronic system (E) installed into the machine, that communicates the information to its processor (MP1). The electronic installation of remote control includes the option of saving, through memories, the previous adjustment that the user establishes in each case.

A foot massage assembly for a vehicle, may simultaneously provide a foot massage and a heating function and may include a plate mounted on a seatback for a vehicle, a bladder unit spaced from the plate at an interval and provided with a plurality of bladder cells, wherein air is supplied to or exhausted from an inside of the bladder cells for pressurizing passenger's soles, and a heat wire mat positioned to cover the bladder unit and provided with a heat wire.

Active comfort controlled bedding systems include a variable firmness control and/or variable climate control. The active comfort controlled bedding systems generally include a plurality of air bladders, each one of the plurality of air bladders includes a pressure sensor configured to measure pressure within a respective air bladder. A control unit configured to selectively operate a pump and valves to sequentially adjust a pressure in two or more of the plurality of the air bladders having an applied load of an end user thereon to provide a repeating pattern within the two or more plurality of the air bladders, wherein the repeating pattern is defined by a pressure increase and subsequent decrease in a selected one of the plurality of the air bladders followed by a pressure increase and subsequent decrease in a selected other one of the plurality of the air bladders to provide a massaging action.
