Abstract:
The present invention relates to a massage apparatus in which a plurality of acupressure assemblies apply acupressure to the human body in close contact with the human body and move individually or in connection with each other, thereby inducing a user's joints to exercise. According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a massage apparatus comprising: a support frame; and one or more acupressure assemblies, each of which comprises one or more acupressure members rotated by power and is supported by the support frame, wherein the acupressure assemblies rotate in one direction around one axis of the support frame.
Abstract:
L'invention concerne un appareil de massage (1) comprenant un corps (2) qui comporte des moyens de motorisation (3, 4) et une tête de massage (5), des moyens d'assemblage étant agencés entre le corps et la tête de massage, la tête de massage comportant une surface d'application et au moins trois embouts de massage qui s'étendent vers l'extérieur de la surface d'application. Selon l'invention, les embouts de massage sont définis sur la surface d'application selon des cercles virtuels concentriques de centre C et la tête de massage comprend un mécanisme de transmission configuré pour être entraîné par les moyens de motorisation et pour rapprocher les embouts de massage et/ou, inversement, pour écarter les embouts de massage, en translatant lesdits embouts de massage dans un sens et/ou dans l'autre selon des trajectoires (T 1 , T 2 ) qui se rejoignent au centre C.
Abstract:
A device (1 ) for the passive movement of the fingers for the therapeutic treatment of a patient comprising a plurality of supporting elements (2), each one susceptible to receive a finger of a patient, and a movement unit (5) comprising: a plurality of actuating means (6) each one operatively connected to one respective of the supporting elements (2) so as to move it with movements uncoordinated from the movements of the other supporting elements (2) which are moved with other actuating means (6); a plurality of motion transmission means (7) each one interposed between one of the actuating means (6) and one respective of the supporting elements (2) and all of them designed to move the supporting elements (2) with three degrees of freedom.
Abstract:
A hand held tool (10) comprises a handle (14), a contact member (16), and an electric motor (12). The contact member has a contact surface portion 17 that lies in the first plane. The motor (12) has a stator (23) and an armature (19) where the armature (19) is able to move with non-rotary translational motion in a second plane relative to the stator (23), the second plane being parallel to the first plane. One of the stator (23) and the armature (19) is attached to the handle (14), while the other is attached to the contact member (16). Therefore, relative motion of the stator (23) and armature (19) is translated to relative motion between the handle (14) and the contact member (16). A resilient coupling (18) is coupled between the handle 14 and the contact member (16) and applies a bias against the relative motion between the handle (14) and contact member (16).
Abstract:
An ingestible capsule device (ICD) comprising at least: a capsule-housing; and at least one motion device. Each motion device is located inside the ICD and has a power supply, a fixture element, at least one motor, and at least one weight assembly movable by use of the at least one motor, wherein the weight assembly is movably connected, via a hinge, to the fixture element to allow pendulum-like swinging movement of the weight assembly, in respect to the fixture element, about a swinging axis “x”. The swinging movement about the swinging axis “x” causes pounding of the weight of the weight assembly over at least one inner wall of the capsule-housing. The motion device may be configured to stimulate a gastrointestinal tract (GTI) section of the subject, by transmitting pounding forces of the weight assembly from the inner wall of the capsule-housing onto an inner wall of the GIT section.
Abstract:
A rehabilitation system for robotized mobilization of a human glenohumeral joint of a patient. The rehabilitation system may include a limb gripping member and an actuating mechanism. The limb gripping member may be configured to receive an arm of a patient and secure the arm of the patient in a predetermined position. The actuating mechanism may be configured to urge a head of a humerus bone of the patient to glide along a first axis by applying a linear force to a proximal end of the humerus bone of the patient.
Abstract:
A control method for a lower limb rehabilitation apparatus for rehabilitation of the lower limbs of a user includes the step of putting an exoskeleton on the lower limbs of the user, the step of setting a trigger condition, the step of using EMG muscle sensors to detect EMG signals from specific muscles of the user when the user is performing specific actions, the step of judging whether the sensing result meets the trigger condition, and the step of re-setting the triggering condition without moving the exoskeleton if the sensing result does not meet the trigger condition, or, the step of triggering a motion generator to provide a control signal to a control unit for controlling the exoskeleton in moving the lower limbs of the user to perform specific actions if the sensing result meets the trigger condition.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed toward a device for circumduction of a limb having a base, a vertical support operably coupled to and extending away from the base, a rotary member operably connected to the vertical support, a limb support member operably connected to the rotary member, and a motor drivingly engaged with the rotary member. The vertical support may be a rigid plate member, bracket, or frame. The bracket and/or frame may include at least one vertical member and at least one horizontal member. The rotary member is operably connected to the vertical support such that rotary member is free to rotate. Limb support member receives and supports the limb to be treated and is operably coupled to rotary member at a radial distance from a center of rotation thereby resulting in a circular motion of a limb when the motor is operated.
