A robot includes a main body, a handlebar disposed on the main body and grippable by a user, a detection unit that detects a load applied to the handlebar, a moving device including a rotating body and moving the robot by controlling the rotation of the rotating body, and a switching unit that switches a support mode for supporting the user with walking. The support mode includes a first mode in which the robot autonomously moves to guide the user who is walking and a second mode in which the robot moves in accordance with a first load detected by the detection unit. When the robot moves in the first mode, the switching unit switches the support mode from the first mode to the second mode on the basis of the second load detected by the detection unit.

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.

An apparatus includes a drive mechanism, a patient support mechanism, and an electronic system. The drive mechanism is included in a trolley and is configured to suspend the trolley from a support track. The drive mechanism includes a first sensor configured to sense an operating condition of the drive mechanism. The patient support mechanism couples to the trolley and includes a tether and a second sensor. The tether can be operatively coupled to a patient such that the patient support mechanism supports the patient. The second sensor is configured to sense an operating condition of the patient support mechanism. The electronic system is included in the trolley and has at least a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to define a gait characteristic of the patient based at least in part on a signal received from the first sensor and a signal received from the second sensor.

An illuminated walking assistance apparatus is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the apparatus provides an elongated staff having a ground-engaging tip portion at a first end and a handle at an opposing second end. The staff provides a light pipe positioned proximal the tip portion and having a light-emitting member disposed therein to selectively illuminate the ground proximal the tip portion. The staff further provides a red nightlight which is always on so as to facilitate locating the apparatus in a dark environment.

A percussive therapy system includes a percussive therapy device that includes a housing, an electrical source, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, a push rod assembly operatively connected to the motor and configured to reciprocate in response to activation of the motor, and an attachment configured to be operatively connected to a distal end of the push rod assembly of the percussive massage device and to provide at least one therapeutic effect to a user. The attachment may include at least one of an actuator configured to provide the at least one therapeutic effect to the user and a sensor configured to obtain at least one of biometric data of the user and information regarding operation of the percussive therapy device.

A portable medical treatment apparatus and interactive application that leads a user through a medically acceptable query flow for treating medical emergencies, including cardiac or pulmonary medical emergencies that can be treated with electrotherapy and other medical emergencies.

A walking assist device applies resistance force to a movement of a knee joint of a user according to a walking state of the user to assist a walking motion of the user. The walking assist device includes an auxiliary control unit that decreases the resistance force applied to the movement of the knee joint of the user when the walking state of the user transitions from a standing phase to a swinging phase, and a knee collapse sensing unit that senses a knee collapse by detecting that the knee joint of the user is located forward of a waist portion of the user during the standing phase. When the knee collapse sensing unit senses the knee collapse, the auxiliary force control unit reduces a degree of a decrease in the resistance force or stops the decrease in the resistance force.

Systems and methods related to the field of cardiac resuscitation, and in particular to devices for assisting rescuers in performing cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are described herein. The system includes an applicator device configured to provide ACD CPR treatment to a patient's chest according to a plurality of phases at least one sensor configured to be coupled to the patient's chest and to measure at least one parameter related to the ACD CPR treatment and information for determining whether at least one transition point of the ACD CPR treatment has been reached; and one or more processors configured to provide a feedback signal based on a parameter for administering ACD CPR treatment to the patient's chest according to a desired treatment protocol.

A massage machine includes a seat unit on which a treatment subject person is configured to sit, a backrest unit configured to support a back of the person sitting on the seat unit, a base that is disposed in front of the backrest unit; and a treatment mechanism that is attached to the base configured to perform a massage on a shoulder of the person in a state where the person sits on the seat unit. The treatment mechanism includes a drive unit which includes an output shaft attached to the base and rotated by supplied power, and a treatment device configured to press the shoulder from above. In accordance with rotation of the output shaft, the treatment device oscillates in an upward/downward direction so as to perform the treatment on the shoulder.

The invention relates to a robotic walker (1) including a chassis (10) having a front portion (10a), a rear portion (10b), wheels (11a, 11b, 12) arranged to support the rear portion (10b) and the front portion (10a) of the chassis (10), one of the wheels (11a, 11b, 12) being coupled to a displacement motor (20), the robotic walker (1) including a control module (40) configured to control the displacement motor (20), and to: Determine an indicator of an involuntary movement of a user of the robotic walker (1) that could lead to a fall, based on values generated by one or several sensor(s); Identify a previous position, at the given moment, of at least two wheels (11a, 11b, 12); Transmit a command to stop the robotic walker (1); Transmit a command to move the robotic walker (1) so that it returns to the previous position.
