The present invention provides a body lift-assist walker device for gait training is provided by the invention. The patient wears a pressurized body suit over all or a portion of his lower body, and the suit is attached to the walker device. A positive pressure or vacuum condition is applied to the interior of the suit, so that the differential pressure condition across the suit offloads a portion of the patient's body weight to the ground through the supportive walker device to make it easier for him to walk or run. The walker device also includes a lift-assisted body weight support device operated by a constant force mechanism like a pneumatic air cylinder that can lift the patient from a sitting position to a standing position with minimal physical effort. The device provides a portable and convenient system for persons undergoing physical therapy for treatment of gait or balance problems following an injury, stroke, or neurological disorder, or for use by elderly or disabled persons who have encounter difficulties in the sit-to-stand movement or walking.

This invention is related to an improved version of the wound wrapping, support means and compression units for use in a living body. Rapid wound dressing and wrapping are of significant importance and may save a lot of complications and lives. Also as important is the stability of the wrapped unit, a unit which does not stay stable on the wound will not function properly. The wound compression and prevention of bleeding are of significant importance as well as covering the whole area and preventing a site of wound to be covered. The compression also would be helpful and needed after certain surgeries to prevent complication and reach the ultimate goal. The adjustablility and being able to use one unit in more patients are of clinical and economical importance. This invention introduces a models combination of support units with straps, that can be used in various parts of the body. The new version allows the user to wrap a leg or arm easily and more securely. The use of more than one support is again stressed, different ways of use of these units are also discussed. Also new is the use of stretchable hoses for allowing the straps to be held in place more securely. So that these better unit can make the patient care a bit easier and help humanity.

A trunk support device (100) is configurable to be worn by a person to reduce the muscle forces in the person's back during forward bending. The device (100), among other things, includes: a waist strap (102) which is configurable to be coupled to the person waist; a chest support (104) which is configurable to be coupled to the person's chest and capable of pushing against the person chest; and first and second torque generators (106) coupled to the chest support (104) and the waist strap (102) and capable of providing a resistance torque between them.

The invention is an Exit Stay Apparatus with Intermediate Flange for Francis and propeller hydraulic turbines. The purpose of the invention is to improve the effectiveness of known Exit Stay Apparatus (U.S. Pat. No. 6,918,744, July 2005, for Hydraulic Turbine and Exit Stay Apparatus therefor) in eliminating the axial central vortex and, therefore, in increasing the efficiency and decreasing the flow pressure pulsations in draft tube cone at off optimum operating regimes. The new Exit Stay Apparatus has an intermediate flange between exit stay crown and periphery and two sets of exit stay vanes: crown exit stay vanes secured to the exit stay crown and the intermediate flange and peripheral exit stay vanes secured to the intermediate flange and following to the periphery. When installed in the turbine the peripheral exit stay vanes are secured at the periphery. There are more crown exit stay vanes than the peripheral exit stay vanes and their profiles are longer than the profiles of the peripheral exit stay vanes. The Exit Stay Apparatus with Intermediate Flange is expected to have the same peak efficiency as known Exit Stay Apparatus.

The invention provides a support device which is sleeved on the shaft. The support device consists of a first support part and a second support part, wherein the fist support part and the second support part are detachably connected; after the first support part and the second support part are connected, an outer ring and an inner ring which is arranged in the outer ring are formed; an elastic part is arranged between the outer ring and the inner ring. According to the support device with the structure, the first support part and the second support part can be connected through connection parts during an installation process so as to avoid the situation that the outer ring and the inner ring are sleeved from the shaft end, thus the installation is easy, and the dismounting is completed just in need of dismounting connection pieces on the connection parts when in dismounting. Meanwhile, because the elastic part is equipped between the outer ring and the inner ring, a preloading amount can be set during the installation so as to effectively prolong the service life of the support device. Furthermore, the invention also provides mechanical equipment which comprises the support device.

The present invention is composed of a base plate with a booster and two support devices, the booster has a booster pressure head and a "force-measuring digital display instrument"; the two support devices are multi-angle rotating pressure heads. Use 3 or 2 indenters to quantitatively apply mechanical force to stretch the different joint spaces of the thumb / finger of the injured hand and the corresponding joint spaces of the healthy hand, take X-rays of both hands, compare the size of the two spaces, and diagnose lateral ligament rupture and no. The present invention can completely avoid X-ray damage to the operator, and because quantitative mechanical force is used to avoid errors caused by subjective factors of manual force force, the diagnosis is more accurate.

A support for a trapeze or other structure (such as a sling) that depends from a rail, said rail extending over a bed (usually a hospital bed) or other patient-support device. A carriage (which might also be called a trolley) is provided for selective movement—in small increments—along a conventional rail (having an octagonal or circular cross section) from one end to the other. Alternatively, the carriage is held static, where it provides a stable “anchor” for a trapeze, so that a person might safely pull downward on the trapeze. In one embodiment the static condition is initiated by the action of simply pulling downward on the trapeze, causing the carriage to bear against the rail with what may best be described as a “gripping” action. Switching between free movement along the rail and braked movement can be automatic, involving only a downwardly directed force on the carriage, which force may be supplied by an attending nurse or the patient.
