  • Publication number: 20140052036
    Abstract: A waist supporting back brace frame for a detachment type waist protecting belt to hold the vertebra region of a vertebra related patient is provided. The frame is comprised of two back rest frames, one power module, one puller, one string that is engaged and connects two parts (left and right) of the power module, and two set of broad bands. Each part of the power module is equipped with four pairs of string conveying mini rollers. Pluralities of gear teeth are developed on the surface of the string conveying mini rollers along the vertical axis thereof. Upper and lower corner of the teeth is rounded to minimize friction between the roller and the power module when a wearer put on the frame and fasten.

  • Patent number: 7905849
    Abstract: A waist support frame for a detachment type waist protecting belt to hold the vertebra region of a vertebra related patient is provided. The frame is comprised of two back rest frames, two Y-shape hinges, two power modules, two pullers, two sets of strings each of them are engaged and connects on one part (upper- or lower-part) of the two power modules, and two set of broad bands. Each power module is equipped with twelve pair of pulling code conveying mini rollers. String arrangement through these twelve pair of rollers enables the inventor to provide a waist support frame that can be used by a user whose one hand is not available without rotating the frame around the user's body with only one hand.

  • Patent number: 7481233
    Abstract: A crutch equipped with double shock absorbers is provided. The crutch of the current invention has an air shock absorber vertically combined with a spring shock absorber in one base shaft. A rubber shoe receives bottom of the spring shock absorber. The crutch of the current invention absorbs the shock of stepping ground firstly with the spring shock absorber and then reduces the impact with the air shock absorber. The double shock absorbing mechanism provides a smooth feeling of stepping the ground to a user. The strength of the resilient force of the crutch can be adjusted for each user, based on weight of a user, by medical doctor's characterization.

  • Patent number: 6951547
    Abstract: A waist support frame for a detachment type waist protecting belt to hold the vertebra region of a vertebra related patient is provided. The frame is comprised of, including but not limited to, two plastic plates. Each of the plates has a window at the center and one guiding nut on the center of the exterior side of the inner-half of the rim. The two plates are connected by two hinges, which are attached to the upper and the lower parts of the plastic plates, to form a saddle like shape that fits the contour of the waist of an individual patient dynamically.

  • Publication number: 20010020144
    Abstract: An orthotic device is provided, including an orthosis body adapted to be wrapped around the torso of a wearer of the device, the orthosis body having at least two segments in juxtaposed relationship. Means are provided at free end portions of the at least two segments to releasably secure the free end portions to one another. At least two cables are provided, each cable operatively connected to the at least two segments. At least two sets of pulleys are mounted on the at least two segments with each cable operatively connected to the at least two segments running through a pulley on each of the at least two segments in alteration, shortening of each cable pulling the at least two segments together and tightening the orthotic device with the aid of a mechanical advantage dependent upon the number of pulleys mounted on each of the at least two segments.
