Abstract: A walking assistance apparatus includes: a walking assistance attachment to be attached to a leg of a human body and including a variable stiffness mechanism having stiffness that is changeable in a direction where the human bends and stretches the knee by motor driving; and a controller. The controller includes a foot-end motion calculation part configured to receive an output from a sensor to detect motion of a leg and successively calculate a relative velocity of a foot end with reference to a waist of the human body; and a leg state determination part configured to determine shift timing between a swing phase and a stance phase based on the relative velocity of the foot end.

Abstract: A walking assistant device may calculate a walking cycle by measuring only motion of a specific joint without a force/torque sensor (F/T sensor) of a foot, and a method of controlling the walking assistant device. The method may include measuring motion of a hinge to which different support frames are connected; overlapping a reference trajectory corresponding to the measured motion and modulation trajectories that have been modulated from the reference trajectory; correcting the overlapping trajectory to correspond to the measured motion; determining assistant torque corresponding to a phase of the corrected trajectory; and providing the determined assistant torque to the support frame.

Abstract: The subject matter of the invention relates to therapy wraps for the application of compression and/or thermal therapy to a patient. The wraps are formed of at least two layers of material which are sealed together to form at least one cavity between them. The wraps may be used in conjunction with a therapy machine which fills the cavity or cavities of the wraps with fluid such as a gas and/or a liquid. The unique shapes of the wraps are particularly suitable for providing therapy to the human body. The shapes permit the manipulation of the wraps around various portions of the human body such as the shoulder, back and foot.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a footwear-type growth stimulation apparatus, and more specifically to a growth stimulation apparatus which can give a low-frequency stimulus to a front portion of the sole of the foot of a user who wears it on his/her feet during sleep, can give a continuous stimulus by preventing the feet from being removed therefrom due to twisting and turning during sleep, and can promote the secretion of growth hormone by allowing the weight to be concentrated on the front portion of the sole of the foot even during walking and thus performing continuous Bubbling Spring acupressure.

Abstract: Systems and related methods for controlling an ear stimulation device with a personal computing device, in response to determination of electrical contact of an electrode in a stimulator earpiece with an ear of a user of the personal computing device, are described. If the electrode is not in good electrical contact with the ear of the user, delivery of the stimulus is prevented and the user is notified of the status of the electrode. In various aspects, the user is instructed to reposition the earpiece or replace, clean, moisten, or apply gel to at least a portion of the electrode.

Abstract: Portable force feedback controllers (PFFCs) are designed to be worn on a user's limb, track the movement of the user's limb, and provide force feedback capability. In some embodiments, the PFFCs may include interchangeable modules that can be quickly and easily connected and disconnected so that the PFFC may be easily modified for a particular application. In yet other embodiments, various PFFC modules are moveably coupled and have at least one degree of freedom so that the PFFC can accurately follow the natural movements of a user's limb.
