Abstract:
A therapeutic device includes flexible vibrating module with flexible radiating arms outwardly projecting around the module, with each arm having an associated coin motor which can optionally be operated at high frequency or low frequency or pulsing frequency. In addition to the vibratory elements of the device, a selective thermal element is included to provide heating and/or cooling for additional therapy. The heat, cooling, and/or vibrations can be used together or alone to provide therapeutic benefits to various body locations of a user. The device can be used with a wrap to hold the device in place for use.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing assistance with human motion, including hip and ankle motion, are disclosed. Sensor feedback is used to determine an appropriate profile for actuating a wearable robotic system to deliver desired joint motion assistance. Variations in user kinetics and kinematics, as well as construction, materials, and fit of the wearable robotic system, are considered in order to provide assistance tailored to the user and current activity.
Abstract:
The invention provides a sensing control method and apparatus, and a vibration massage apparatus. The method comprises: arranging a sensor which senses a trajectory of an external object, and controlling the change of output based on the direction of the trajectory. With the invention, a desirable control effect can be obtained based on the sensed direction of the trajectory of the external object without accurate positioning of the sensor. Not only the convenience of the sensing operation can be improved significantly, but also the control accuracy can be improved; meanwhile, the invention can be well applied to any device for control using several input control signals or variable input control signals for control, thus having a wide range of application and significantly optimizing user experience.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
[Problem] To allow a travel base to be self-propelled in accordance with a pace of a gait trainee without manual operation of the travel base by the gait trainee in accordance with his/her pace, and to prevent the gait trainee from being pulled forward or rearward by the travel base even if the self-propelled speed of the travel base does not perfectly match the pace of the gait trainee.[Solution] A lifting device is hung in a manner relatively displaceable in the front-and-rear direction within a predetermined range with respect to the travel base that can be self-propelled in the front-and-rear direction, and a control device is provided with respect to the travel base. The control device causes the travel base to be self-propelled forward when the gait trainee moves forward and thus the lifting device is relatively displaced forward with respect to the travel base within the predetermined range, and causes self-propelling of the travel base to stop when the travel base is self-propelled forward faster than the gait trainee moves and then the lifting device is relatively displaced rearward with respect to the travel base within the predetermined range, thereby causing the travel base to be self-propelled forward in accordance with a pace of the gait trainee.
Abstract:
A device capable of assisting an agent in taking a step even in the case where the leg motion of the agent is stagnant. It is determined whether the agent is in a first state in which the leg of the agent is moving or in a second state in which the leg of the agent is stagnant, on the basis of a value detected in response to the leg motion of the agent. If a transition from the first state to the second state is detected as the determination result, a value of a sustained energy input term is increased, where the sustained energy input term is contained in a simultaneous differential equation representing a second model for use in generating a second oscillator ξ2, which is to be a control basis of an assisting force.
Abstract:
A personal hygienic massage bar for cleansing the facial or body parts include a device built into the bar for massaging the facial and/or body parts. The massaging effect is accomplished by a motor which drives an off-centered weighted flywheel. The hygienic bar also includes a variable timer, which is activated by an internal motion switch. An internal power supply supplies to the above motor and timer.
Abstract:
An exoskeleton comprises at least one load-bearing element including a flexible hose, sleeve or cable (200) having a first end portion and a second end portion opposite the first end portion. The first end portion is engageable with a load (500) and is configured to transfer a weight of the load (500) to the hose, sleeve or cable (200). The hose, sleeve or cable (200) is configured to transfer the weight of the load (500) from the first end portion to the second end portion, and the second end portion is configured to transfer the weight of the load (500) to a support surface upon which the exoskeleton is supported.
