Abstract:
A portable oscillating compression system including an for compressing air; an accumulator tank for receiving and storing the compressed air from the air compressor; an air pressure adjustment module for modulating pressure of the compressed air when the compressed air exits the accumulator tank; a valve body assembly attached to the accumulator tank, a plurality of inflatable cuffs connected to the valve body assemble for receiving the compressed air from the valve body assembly; a controller for controlling the valve body assembly; a power supply; and a housing for containing said system.
Abstract:
A system method and device, the system including a gait device for facilitating a gait of a person over a surface and one or a plurality of crutches to provide support over the surface the gait device, each of said one or a plurality of crutches including a locomotion facilitator to enhance locomotion of that crutch over the surface and a mechanism to modify the locomotion of that crutch over the surface.
Abstract:
A conventional muscular strength assisting instrument may give assisting force to prevent an action of a user who is trying to evade a dangerous situation when the user is in such a dangerous situation. A muscular strength assisting instrument comprises: an assisting unit that assists muscular strength of a user by using assisting force due to extension or contraction; a detection unit that detects a predetermined dangerous situation; and a control unit that adjusts the assisting force of the assisting unit when the dangerous situation is detected by the detection unit.
Abstract:
A treadmill for providing walking rehabilitation to a rehabilitee is provided. The treadmill includes a base including a belt, a motor interconnected with the belt, and a walking rehabilitation device interconnected with the base. The motor causes the belt to rotate in a first direction. The walking rehabilitation device includes a user engagement structure configured to be removably secured to one or more locations of a rehabilitee's extremities. The walking rehabilitation device further includes a transmission interconnecting the motor and the user engagement structure, the transmission transferring motion from the motor to the rehabilitee via the user engagement structure, allowing the rehabilitee to walk along the belt.
Abstract:
A manually propelled vehicle (1) having an assist function that assists walking of a user includes a vehicle body (10), a wheel system (30) for moving the vehicle body, a sensor that detects an operating force, a power driver that supplies power to the wheel system (30) based on the operating force, a motion sensor that detects a movement of the vehicle body according to the operating force detected by the sensor; and a controller that controls the power driver, wherein, when the user operates the manually propelled vehicle (1) while the assist function is deactivated, the controller activates the assist function based on the movement of the vehicle body (10) detected by the motion sensor.
Abstract:
A mist generator device includes a mist generation unit (30) that generates mist from a liquid. A mist flow passage (37) is connected to the mist generation unit (30). The mist from the mist generation unit (30) flows through the mist flow passage (37). A tubular mist nozzle (50) releases the mist, which is supplied from the mist generation through the mist flow passage (37), out of the mist generator device. The mist nozzle (50) includes a mist entrance (52), a mist exit (53), and an inner constriction (54, 55) located at an inner side of the mist nozzle (50). The inner constriction (54, 55) includes a step (54a, 55a) that decreases an inner diameter of the mist nozzle (50) from the mist entrance (52) toward the mist exit (53). This limits the flow of the liquid droplets from the steps (54a, 55a) of the constrictions (54, 55) toward the mist exit 53. When a certain amount of condensation collects at the steps (54a, 55a), the condensation falls and returns toward the mist entrance 52.
