Abstract: In one embodiment, the exoskeleton structure is fastened to the body of the user by a brace and at the foot level. The exoskeleton includes at least one set of three joints corresponding to the hip abduction/adduction, the hip flexion/extension and the knee flexion/extension, wherein the architecture of the exoskeleton is compatible with a set of different removable, adaptable and backdrivable actuation units dedicated to each joints and remotely located around the trunk of the user to decrease inertia and mass on the distal segments, wherein each joint can be modularily let free, constrained by a visco-elastic mechanism or actuated by one corresponding actuation unit.

Abstract: A gait training apparatus includes a wire configured to directly or indirectly pull a trainee's leg fitted with a gait assist device from a position above the trainee's head; a control unit configured to control a motor that applies a pulling force to the wire, thereby adjusting the pulling force; and a housing mechanism configured to retract or release the wire in response to a motion of the leg. The control unit controls the motor such that the pulling force is adjusted to a predetermined pulling force that is independent of the speed, when a speed at which the housing mechanism retracts or releases the wire is within a prescribed range defined in advance and including zero. The control unit controls the motor such that the pulling force is adjusted to a pulling force calculated based on the speed, when the speed is out of the prescribed range.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods may relate to a natural-gait therapy device for enabling a user with a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) to independently transition between a locked standing position and a user controlled coordinated natural-gait movement, the method including an unlocking of a left and a right foot movement members, rotating one of the unlocked left and right movement members to a half-period gait position that is 180 degrees out of phase with the un-rotated one of the left and right movement members, coupling the left and right movement members in the 180 degree phase differential orientation, and rotating both left and right leg movement members in a natural-gait motion. In some embodiments, the left and right movement members may be uncoupled to permit a gravity assisted return to a standing position. The transition between the standing and the natural-gait motion may facilitate a user to stand before or sit after performing natural-gait therapy.

Abstract: A method for automated CPR includes controlling a position of a compression element during movement of the compression element from an initial starting position (P0) of a first compression cycle to a first compression position (P1) corresponding to a first compression depth and back to a rest position of the compression element. After, the rest position has been reached, the method includes controlling a force exerted on the compression element, to ensure that the compression element stays in contact or re-contacts with the chest while allowing the chest to move upward due to ventilation, prior to the start of a second compression cycle.
