Abstract:
The present invention relates to a whole body exercise machine, and more specifically, to a whole body exercise machine capable of a circular orbital motion of waist and of strengthening the waist, back and abdomen through longitudinal rotation and lateral-torsional rotation of the waist, back and abdomen. The whole body exercise machine which is for exercising an upper body, waist and lower body and which is capable of a circular orbital motion of the waist according to the present invention comprises: an upper body exercise part which supports a head or shoulder of a human body, enables an upper body exercise and moves in association with a waist exercise part; the waist exercise part which supports the waist or hip of the human body and enables the circular orbital motion; and a lower body exercise part which supports a leg of the human body and is horizontally movable to the right and left. The waist exercise part comprises a rotating board which rotates around a rotary shaft. One or more ball casters are formed on a lower end surface of the rotating board. One or more fixation clamps for fixing the rotating board are formed on an outer circumferential surface of the rotating board in a circumferential direction.
Abstract:
A force transmitting frame may have a length greater than a width. Stiffnesses of first and second end portions of the force transmitting frame may be greater than a stiffness of a central area of the force transmitting frame in a longitudinal direction of the force transmitting frame. The force transmitting frame may include: an inner frame configured to support one side of a user; and/or an outer frame of which first and second end portions are fixed to first and second end portions of the inner frame, and of which a central portion is not fixed to a central portion of the inner frame. The central portion of the outer frame may be configured to slide with respect to the central portion of the inner frame.
Abstract:
Driving modules, motion assistance apparatuses including at least one of the driving modules, and methods of controlling at least one of the motion assistance apparatus may be provided. For example, a driving module including a driving source on one side of a user and configured to transmit power, an input side rotary body connected to the driving source and configured to rotate, and a first decelerator and a second decelerator configured to operate using the power received from the driving source through the input side rotary body, wherein a gear ratio from the input side rotary body to an output terminal of the first decelerator differs from a gear ratio from the input side rotary body to an output terminal of the second decelerator, may be provided.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is generally directed to systems, devices, and methods for compressing the pelvis with alternating compressive air compartments by encircling the hip region of the patient. In some examples, a device may be applied to a person with a traumatic pelvic injury. A main body may include a strong flexible material such as neoprene and may have the general shape of a wide belt or pelvic girdle. The interior or exterior aspect of the binder may be composed of one or many straps that extend from one end of the binder and are looped through buckles on the other end of the binder and may therefore allow for tightening of the binder upon itself for compression. The end of the strap may contain a fastening device to affix the end of the strap to itself after the strap has been looped through the buckle.
Abstract:
The present invention is a massage chair, having a main frame with specific curve, a chair back located by a chair seat with a rotation angle; wherein the main frame including back section, buttock section and leg section, the buttock section has an upward curve and the leg section has a downward curve, thus, massage provider can provide massage service to human thigh when the rotation angle is more than 110 degree; a seat supporter is restricted by a restriction supporter, then the rotation angle is smaller as a first rotation supporter rotates counter-clockwise and the main frame rotates clockwise, wherein the seat supporter is disposed within the chair seat, and the first rotation terminal is disposed under the main frame.
Abstract:
In a joint assembly of a walking assistance robot that is capable of performing an operation with 3 degrees of freedom, similarly to a user's joint, a rolling motion and a sliding motion are simultaneously made, and a rotation center changes so that the joint assembly can make a similar motion to that of an actual knee joint of the user. Thus, when the user wears the walking assistance robot and walks, misalignment can be prevented from occurring in the knee joint.
Abstract:
A motor vehicle seat has a seat inflation system for selectively inflating/deflating a plurality of inflatable cushions in the seat back and/or bottom. A switch for controlling the system includes a display having a first symbol indicating a function of the cushion and a second symbol indicating a parameter of the active function, a plurality of keypads defining a circular perimeter surrounding the display and actuatable to select the active function, and a ring surrounding the perimeter and rotatable to adjust a value of the parameter.
Abstract:
A compression therapy device may include a compression therapy appliance comprising a number of independently inflatable cells and a controller to control a flow of a pressurizing fluid into and out of each cell via a number of valves. The controller may direct the valves to inflate or deflate each cell in a sequence according to one or more compression therapy protocols. The compression therapy appliance may be placed on a portion of a patient's body to provide compression therapy according to one or more of the compression therapy protocols. The portion of the patient's body in contact with the compression therapy appliance may include a proximal end and a distal end. A compression therapy protocol may include alternating inflation and deflation steps of one or more cells placed in contact with the proximal end of the patient's body, thereby improving fluid flow into the proximal end of the patient.
Abstract:
A holder may be more easily mounted on a user's body by applying tension to a cable. An inner side surface of the holder with which the user's body comes in contact transmits uniform pressure to the user's body such that the holder may be more comfortable to the user.
Abstract:
A therapeutic device for applying pressure to a portion of a wearer's body is provided. The device includes a flexible enclosure formed from a flexible material and configured to enclose at least a portion of the wearer's body, thereby forming a cavity between an inner surface of the enclosure and the body. The device also includes at least one port extending through the flexible enclosure for accessing the cavity; and a fluid evacuation pump in fluid communication with the cavity. The device is configured such that, upon actuation of the pump, the flexible enclosure transitions from a relaxed position to a compressed position, in which the flexible enclosure exerts a compression force against the wearer's body. Optionally, the flexible enclosure defines a cross sectional area, wherein the cross sectional area in the relaxed position is greater than the cross sectional area in the compressed position.
