Abstract: A light emitting module includes a light source, a light guide member, and first and second light reflective members. The light guide member is configured to transmit light from the light source. The light guide member having an upper surface and a lower surface opposite to the upper surface. The first light reflective member is arranged on a lower surface side of the light guide member. The first light reflective member has a lower surface. The first light reflective member includes a first resin, and a first reflective body having a refractive index higher than a refractive index of the first resin. The second light reflective member is arranged on a lower surface side of the first light reflective member. The second light reflective member includes a second resin, and a second reflective body having a refractive index lower than a refractive index of the second resin.

Abstract: An exercise assistance system includes a deep body thermometer attached to a user and including a temperature sensor, temperature adjustment equipment attached to at least one of a hand and a foot of the user, and a controller configured to communicate with the deep body thermometer and the temperature adjustment equipment. The deep body thermometer detects information related to deep body temperature of the user with the temperature sensor. The controller executes a process for determining whether the deep body temperature of the user is less than or equal to a predetermined temperature based on the detected information related to deep body temperature. When determined that the deep body temperature is not less than or equal to the predetermined temperature, the controller executes a process for outputting control information to the temperature adjustment equipment indicating a magnetic stimulating pattern that dilates blood vessels in a palm or foot bottom of the user.

Abstract: A control device for an electrical stimulation apparatus in the present disclosure includes a control section that adjusts an output of an electrode. The electrode gives electrical stimulation to a predetermined part of a body doing a pedaling exercise. The predetermined part is at least one of a leg and an arm. The control section adjusts the output of the electrode in such a way that the electrical stimulation is given to the predetermined part in relation to an exercise unit of the pedaling exercise. Furthermore, the control section adjusts strength of the electrical stimulation related to the exercise unit, in accordance with an amount of a physical activity of the body during the pedaling exercise. In this way, electrical stimulation can be given to a predetermined part in a variable manner during the pedaling exercise.

Abstract: A left foot plate and a right foot plate, which are put each both feet of a trainee, are set up, and a load sensor to detect a load is set up at multiple positions on each of the left foot plate and the right foot plate. An extraction unit takes out a load information corresponding to a posture or a motion of the trainee from the load detected by the load sensor. A measurement unit calculates an evaluated value to evaluate a difference of a goal load information set up in a goal setting unit and the load information taken out by the extraction unit. The evaluated value is checked by the trainee at showing in a display unit through an exhibition unit.

Abstract: A balance training apparatus, which is preferably used for training a body balance function and a locomotive function of a user, and for rehabilitation for lumbago prevention, is provided. This apparatus has a seat for the user and a driving unit for driving the seat. The driving unit comprises a drive source and a power transmission unit for converting an output of the drive source into a horse-riding motion, which is a combination of a rectilinear reciprocating motion in a forward and backward direction (X) of the seat, a first pivotal reciprocating motion (?y) about an axis extending in a horizontal direction substantially perpendicular to the forward and backward direction, and a second pivotal reciprocating motion (?x) about an axis extending in the forward and backward direction, and transferring the horse-riding motion to the seat.
