  • Patent number: 10675202
    Abstract: An apparatus for rehabilitating a leg includes a base plate; a first plate having a structure such that the first plate is rotatable to lift up a toe part; a second plate having a rotatable structure to enable a sole of the patient to perform inversion and eversion movements and to allow a side surface of the sole to move up and down; a driving device; a power transfer device; and a controller. The first plate includes an outer frame, a first frame for connecting central portions of mutually facing sides of the outer frame to each other to form opening parts at two sides thereof, a second frame, and a rotational part. The second plate is prepared as a pair, and the pair of second plates include second plate bodies disposed in the opening parts, respectively, and connected to the rotational part.

  • Patent number: 10646681
    Abstract: A bubble continuous positive airway pressure device has a container having an inner space, an inner conduit mounted in the inner space for conducting an airflow, an outer conduit mounted around the inner conduit, a rack longitudinally mounted on the outer conduit, a gear disposed in the inner space and meshed with the rack, and a knobt. The inner conduit has an aperture. The outer conduit is longitudinally slidable relative to the inner conduit, and has at least one through hole connected with the aperture. The knob drives the gear to rotate and the gear drives the rack, so as to drive the outer conduit to slide downward or upward in the inner space. The bubble continuous positive airway pressure device prevents dust and bacteria in the ambient environment from polluting the liquid in the container when adjusting gas pressure, so as to ensure the patients' health.

  • Patent number: 10576012
    Abstract: A massaging apparatus has two massaging systems arranged proximate to each other for performing more elaborate massage on target body areas. The massaging apparatus includes a first massaging member pair for massaging target areas; a second massaging member pair, provided independently of the first massaging member pair, for massaging target areas; a rotation shaft rotatably driven; a paired first conversion mechanisms, each disposed on a corresponding one of the first massaging members, for converting rotation of the rotation shaft into mutually approaching and separating movements of the first massaging members; and a second conversion mechanism for converting rotation of the rotation shaft into mutually approaching and separating movements of the paired second massaging members. The second massaging member pair is disposed between the paired first massaging members, and the second conversion mechanism is disposed between the paired first conversion mechanisms.
