A wearable assistance apparatus is disclosed, wherein the wearable assistance apparatus may include a first frame configured to transfer a power in a first direction to assist a user, a second frame configured to transfer the power in a second direction to assist the user, a first wearing portion configured to urge the second frame towards the user in response to the first wearing portion being pulled in the first direction, and a second wearing portion configured to urge the first frame towards the user in response to the second wearing portion being pulled in the second direction.

Provided is a wearable assisted-walking device including one lower attachment body to the foot defining a lower anchoring point at the heel of the foot of a leg of the user; an upper attachment body to an upper part of the leg proximal from the knee defining an upper ventral anchoring point and an upper dorsal anchoring point arranged on the opposite side of the coronal plane of the user; and an intermediate attachment body defining a first intermediate anchoring point, a second intermediate anchoring point and a third intermediate anchoring point, each anchoring point movable respect and connected by cables to the leg; the intermediate attachment body being adapted to store the energy by a relative motion between the anchoring points and then use it for assist walking.

A spine board is provided having a skull tong anchor assembly slidably attached to the spine board where a push rod mechanism is used to apply traction force on the skull tong anchor assembly. The push rod mechanism includes a strain gauge device so that the traction force can be selected and monitored. The spine board can also include a mattress that can be attached to the spine board where the mattress includes integrated shoulder straps that can be partially detached therefrom to secure a patient to the spine board.

A wearable apparatus for assisting muscular strength includes a back support, and a connection chain having a first end portion coupled to the back support to be rotatable upward or downward. The connection chain extends from the back of the wearer to a side thereof and includes a plurality of rotary elements arranged abreast laterally, each rotary element being rotatably coupled to an adjacent rotary element laterally. The wearable apparatus further includes an upper arm module that extends in a direction in which an upper arm of the wearer extends, one end portion of the upper arm module coupled to a second end portion of the connection chain to be rotatable upward or downward with respect to the one end portion. The upper arm module generates a rotational force for rotating the upper arm of the wearer upward or downward.

A shoulder joint tracking apparatus includes a gravity compensation spring that compensates for a vertical movement of a shoulder joint of a trainee, a weight of an arm, and gravity to a weight of a rehabilitation exercise device attached to the arm, and a shoulder joint tracking device that is provided at one side of the shoulder rehabilitation apparatus, is connected to the gravity compensation spring, and applies a damping force corresponding to a force applied by the trainee, in a direction opposite to a direction in which the force is applied, to control a vertical movement of the shoulder rehabilitation apparatus.

The invention relates to a motorized walker (1) comprising a frame (10) having a front portion (10a) and a rear portion (10b), a pair of wheels (11), with one wheel arranged to support the front portion of the frame, one of the wheels being coupled to a traveling motor (20), said motorized walker (1) being characterized in that: the frame (10) is equipped with two verticalization ramps (100) having a longitudinal axis forming an angle with an axis perpendicular to the ground, between 20° and 40°, each being associated with an electronic handle (200) movable in translation, it comprises at least one verticalization motor (30) arranged to allow movement of the electronic handles (200), and at least one of the electronic handles (200) comprises one or more sensors coupled to a control module (40) configured to control the verticalization motor (30) and the traveling motor (20).

A vestibular training apparatus and method as disclosed and claimed. Wherein the training apparatus comprises a motorized rotational platform, an adjustable body harness, a swivel coupling attached to the adjustable harness, a beam anchor, and pulley system. The pulley system in connection with the beam anchor allows a user to be lifted by the trainer after rotating on the motorized rotational platform, wherein the user continues to rotate after being lifted by the trainer as a result of inertia.
