摘要:
A finger assist device (100) is formed by rotatably connecting a plurality of units (110) in a finger bending direction and a finger spreading direction. The unit is worn on a finger (1) by nipping the finger by a nipping part (130a, 130b) from the pad and the back of the finger, and a drive force is controlled by detecting a contact force between the finger pad and the nipping part (first contact force) and a contact force between the finger back and the nipping part (second contact force). Since the intention of the wearer of the finger assist device appears in the first contact force and the second contact force, the drive force of the finger assist device is appropriately controlled according to the wearer's intention in this manner, and thereby, bending movement and spreading movement of the finger may be appropriately assisted.

A distributor for distributing a fluid has a motor (302), a base member (306) and a rotor (304), which is driven by the motor and rotates against the base member. The base member has an infeed nozzle (340) and a plurality of outfeed nozzles (342), while the rotor has a feed channel (350, 350', 350") and a vent channel (352, 352', 352"). The feed channel provides a fluid pathway between the infeed nozzle and one or more first nozzles of the outfeed nozzles and the vent channel provides a fluid pathway between one or more second nozzles of the outfeed nozzles and atmosphere.
摘要:
A neuromuscular therapy device and method is provided. The neuromuscular therapy device includes a top unit including a pair of square pyramidal bodies separated by a central valley. Each of the pair of square pyramidal bodies includes a top peak with vertices that are smoothly radiused. The neuromuscular therapy device may also include a base unit including a hollowed top central portion configured to provide a seat within which the top unit is secured.

Ein Vaporisator zum Applizieren von Dampf an ein menschliches Körperteil umfasst - ein Vorratsbehältnis (2) zum Bevorraten einer Behandlungsflüssigkeit, insbesondere von Wasser, - eine Pumpe (4), angeschlossen an das Vorratsbehältnis (2) zum Fördern von Behandlungsflüssigkeit, - einen Verdampfer (5) zum Verdampfen von von der Pumpe (4) geförderter Behandlungsflüssigkeit, - eine dem Verdampfer (5) nachgeschaltete Dampfleitung (7), - eine Einrichtung zum Zuführen eines zum Kühlen des Dampfstroms dienenden Kühlgasstromes über eine Kühlgasleitung (12) und - ein Behandlungsgefäß (9), in den das zu behandelnde Körperteil eingeführt oder an welches dieses zur Anlage gebracht werden kann. Bei diesem Vaporisator ist ein in dem Behandlungsgefäß (9) befindlicher Misch- und Verteilungsraum (8) vorgesehen, in den die Dampfleitung (7) und die Kühlgasleitung (12) münden. Der Vaporisator umfasst ferner einen in dem Behandlungsraum des Behandlungsgefäßes (9) befindlichen Misch- und Verteilungsraum (8), in den die Dampfleitung (7) und die Kühlgasleitung (12) münden, wobei der Eingang der Kühlgasleitung (12) außerhalb des Behandlungsgefäßes (9) angeordnet ist und zur Förderung von durch die Kühlgasleitung strömenden Gases in diese ein Gebläse (11) eingeschaltet ist und der Misch- und Verteilungsraum (8) ein durch Stege (14) wand- und/oder bodenseitig abgestütztes Prallelement (13) umfasst, dessen Prallfläche zur Mündung der Leitungen (7, 12) gerichtet ist, wobei der zumindest eine Stegzwischenraum die Durchtrittsöffnung zum Einleiten des in dem Misch- und Verteilungsraum (8) gebildeten Dampf-Kühlgasgemisches in den Behandlungsraum des Behandlungsgefäßes (9) bildet.
摘要:
A hand rehabilitation device (10, 10') used in rehabilitation therapies of the motility and functionality of metacarpus-phalanx, proximal interphalanx and distal interphalanx joints, injured or reduced subsequent to trauma or the like, in the post-surgery period, or in the case of hand paresis or paralysis subsequent to central nervous system diseases, spinal cord injuries, peripheral neuropathies or the like and/or when the hand joint movements are to be improved in association with the physiotherapist's treatment during rehabilitation sessions, said device flexible, modular and comprising an orthosis (17, 90) fitted to partially cover the patient's hand (19) and forearm (13), flexible rods (36, 58, 104) for a passive and assisted active, concurrent and/or selective, bending/extension of the five fingers with exercises, sequences and/or combinations of movements freely settable by the operator, elements for the sliding and supporting of the flexible rods during bending/extension of the fingers, "finger socks" (46) or bands (94, 98) provided with thimbles (50, 98, 100), fixed rods (44) or plates (102) stabilised to thimbles and hinged to flexible rods, a movement/command and control unit (12, 1 16) integral to the orthosis or remoted located relative to the same, provided with five actuating means for moving the flexible rods, means for adjusting the tension of said rods and means for adjusting and adapting the rehabilitation device to the hand's anatomical features.
