Abstract:
A lumbar support apparatus for a powered exoskeleton includes a support member and a lumbar support member. The support member includes a back portion, a first arm, and a second arm. The back portion has a first surface and a second surface that extends between a back portion first end and a back portion second end. The first arm extends from the back portion first end. The first arm defines a first attachment point for a first leg support. The second arm extends from the back portion second end. The second arm defines a second attachment point for a second leg support. The lumbar support member is disposed on the first surface of the back portion.
Abstract:
A seat device includes a seatback having a backrest surface, a massage airbag that presses a back of an occupant through the backrest surface by performing expanding operation and contracting operation in the interior of the seatback, an air supply-discharge device that selectively supplies air to and discharges internal air from the airbag based on an internal pressure of the airbag, a displacement device that displaces the backrest surface, a timer that measures an air discharge time of the internal air needed for the contracting operation of the airbag, and a load regulating device that controls operation of the displacement device such that a measured value of the air discharge time approaches a target value of the air discharge time in correspondence with a change of an occupant load acting on the backrest surface due to displacement of the backrest surface.
Abstract:
Provided is a decompression device that varies a stimulus and tightening force to a penis by adjusting pressure in a container. The decompression device is mounted to the ejaculation promotion device and includes an ejaculation promotion apparatus and a container, which is configured to decompress the container, the ejaculation promotion apparatus includes an insertion empty space and a valve section that enables communication between an inside and an outside of the insertion empty space, the container accommodating the ejaculation promotion apparatus, and the decompression device includes: a negative pressure introducing section that communicates with an air vent hole provided in the container; a negative pressure generating section that generates a negative pressure to be introduced into the container through the negative pressure introducing section and the air vent hole; and a negative pressure adjusting section that adjusts the negative pressure supplied to the container through the negative pressure introducing section.
Abstract:
A female sexual wellness device configured to provide stimulation frequencies targeting a specific nerve response of clitoral tissue. In one embodiment, the device can alternatively include a motor that creates an oscillatory air pressure wave.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to devices, systems and methods for improving patient adherence with respect to HFCC therapy. A therapy system of the present disclosure may include a percussive pulsing therapy device configured for delivering pulsating or intermittent airflow to a patient device, such as a patient vest worn by a patient. The airflow delivered to the patient vest may have an air pressure and a frequency, each of which may be adjustable in some embodiments. A therapy system of the present disclosure may additionally include a controller, a database, and one or more sensors. The controller and/or one or more sensors may record therapy data for a therapy session. Based on the recorded therapy data, the system may provide encouragement, advice, motivation, and/or options or information to a user by way of skills training, goal setting, feedback, reinforcement, environmental prompts, social support, and/or other patient interventions.
Abstract:
An adjustable walker includes a tubular frame construction having front and lateral telescoping tubes defining a walker space for a user. The lateral tubes have handgrips suitable for being grasped by a user. The front telescoping tubes are adjustable in length to adjust the width of the walker space for the user and the lateral telescoping tubes are adjustable in length to adjust the height of the handgrips. Locking mechanisms are provided for locking the front telescoping tubes and the lateral telescoping tubes. Actuators on the handgrips selectively unlock the locking mechanisms to allow a user to adjust the width of the walker space and for selectively unlocking the second locking to allow a user to adjust the height of said handgrips to adjust the height and/or width of the walker by use of said actuators on said handgrips without bending or letting go of the walker.
Abstract:
A cuff for providing compression to a limb includes an outer wall joined to an inner wall to form a bladder, the bladder being provided with means to separate the walls to maintain a path for fluid flow into and out of the bladder characterized in that the separating means are a spacer provided on the interior of at least one wall, which separates the walls when the bladder is deflated.
Abstract:
The invention provides a rising support integrated in a walking aid and a method of connecting a sling or harness to the walking aid. The walking aid has one part which is adjustable in height in relation to the rest of the walking aid. One or more traction devices, in the form of wires, are connected to the walking aid. One end of each traction device is fastened to the sling, while the other end of the traction device is fastened to a fixed part of the walking aid. Each traction device goes via the part adjustable in height. A person placed in the sling will be raised by the traction devices when the part adjustable in height is lifted, in that the traction device is fastened to the sling and a fixed part of the walking aid and that the traction device passes the part adjustable in height.

Abstract:
A rehabilitation machine can have a chassis with actuators positioned behind a patient area. The actuators can have supports projecting toward the patient area and can have respective adapters shaped to engage the legs of a patient at the thigh, the calf, and the foot while the patient is in a standing or walking posture. The actuators can also have motors, transition elements, and linkages connected to apply moments through the adapters to achieve, for each leg, hip adduction/abduction, hip flexion/extension, knee flexion/extension, and foot plantar flexion/dorsiflexion according to signals from a controller. The actuators can be confined to a space, largely behind the patient, such that free arm swing is permitted when the patient is attached.
