Abstract: A protective goggle assembly having a pair of eye cup assemblies adapted to be easily adjusted by medical personnel. A cooperating ball and socket structure is provided within a housing structure extending from each eye cup assembly and which receive the nose bridge wire ends of a formed nose bridge wire. Each socket ball has a formed channel therethrough to receive the nose bridge wire ends and to provide adjustability. The ball and socket structure permit medical personnel to rotate the nose bridge during a medical procedure without effecting the position of the eye cups covering the patient's eyes.

Abstract: A foot assistive device for improving drop foot gait comprises an assistive device body and an elastic module. The assistive device body comprises a foot support base and a brace. The foot support base is movably connected to the brace. The elastic module connects the foot support base to the brace. The elastic module has a spring, a preset support included angle is formed between the foot support base and the brace under an elastic force of the spring. The support included angle is not larger than 90°. Thereby, when the foot is raised up, the foot support base is unlikely to drop excessively due to the foot weight, the drop foot gait is improved effectively.

Abstract: A brace assists a user in regaining muscle mass during the back to work phase of joint injury recovery. The brace uses a resistance band that is attached to the upper arm and the lower arm of the brace. Proximate the arms' juncture point, a pair of gears is attached, one gear per arm with a gap between the gears. The gears rotate in lockstep with their respective arm. A variation piece has two sets of teeth, each set gearably mating with one of the gears so that rotation of the gears causes the variation piece to linearly extend and counter-rotation causes the variation piece to retract. A medial portion of the band is received by the variation piece so that as variation piece extends, it places additional tension on the band, which tension placement is reduced with variation piece retraction.

Abstract: An orthosis with controlled angular excursion can be positioned at the level of a joint or articulation of the human body. The orthosis includes an articulated joint with a basic structure designed to be positioned on the joint and also includes centrally, a pin with toothing located in a circular sector with predetermined width. The basic structure and the relative pin provided with toothing are equipped with a respective pair of rings, each of which has a substantially elongated shape. A hollow part, or slot, includes two straight sectors, of which at least one is provided with toothing with the same pitch as the toothing of the pin with which it engages. The pair of rings can, when in use, be simultaneously rotated around the pin, and are provided with slots which in turn include a tractor for the orthosis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device suitable for influencing the intake of food through the oral cavity of a human, comprising anchoring means which can be applied to one or several teeth of both the upper and the lower jaw, at least one elongated element that can be placed around the front of the upper or lower jaw and that can be coupled adjacent its two element ends to the anchoring means applied to the respective jaw, and connecting means that can be provided between the upper and the lower jaw and that can be coupled at one end to the elongated element and at the other end to the anchoring means applied to the other jaw, such that an opening of the jaws causes the connecting means to pull the elongated element against the front of the jaw, which results in an unpleasant or pain sensation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a full movement jaw advancement oral appliance that is worn in the mouth of a user to reduce the effects of snoring and/or sleep apnea. The oral appliance includes an upper arch tray assembly against which the user's upper teeth carried are received, a lower arch tray assembly against which the user's lower teeth are received, and an intermediate guide post support tray that is connected at the bottom thereof to the lower arch tray assembly and at the top thereof to the upper arch tray assembly by an upper arch tray retaining post that extends therebetween. The upper arch tray assembly is movable in both horizontal and vertical directions relative to the lower arch tray assembly so that the positions of the user's upper and lower jaws can be adjusted relative to one another and the upper arch tray assembly will remain in receipt of the user's upper teeth when he opens his mouth during sleep.

Abstract: A support brace has a conjoining component, an extending component, a guiding set, an adjusting set, and an operating set. The guiding set has a guiding pole mounted to the conjoining component. The adjusting set is mounted to the extending component and has an adjusting sheet with a through hole located around and engaged with the guiding pole. The operating set has a pressing pole able to press the adjusting sheet and to disengage the through hole of the adjusting sheet and the guiding pole, and make the extending component to which the adjusting set is mounted moveable relative to the conjoining component along a moving direction. The support brace is longitudinally adjustable, is suitable for different limb lengths, and is able to reduce cost of casting orthopedic cast and purchasing appliances of orthotics of different sizes.
