Abstract: Disclosed is a buttock support for at least partial load-relief of the body weight of a person, the buttock support having two support regions adapted to receive at least part of a buttock region of the person. Also disclosed is a load-relief system having the aforementioned buttock support. The two support regions are separated from one another by a gap and are rounded. The gap separates the two support regions from one another centrally. The buttock support significantly simplifies the connection of a person to the aforementioned load-relief system to prepare for manual and/or automated physical therapy and also ensures that the thigh region, in particular the inner face of the thigh, and the groin region are accessible for further medical/therapeutic treatment by the medical staff.

Abstract: Disclosed is a foot support system for a foot module of a rehabilitation mechanism, the foot support system having an inner shell for receiving a person's foot, an outer shell for connection to a foot module of a rehabilitation mechanism, and at least one strap for fixing the foot to the foot support system. The inner shell, preferably on its side opposite a receiving region for the foot, has at least one connection for reversibly connecting the inner and outer shells, and wherein the outer shell, preferably at least on its side facing the inner shell when the inner shell and outer shell are connected, has at least one receiver corresponding to the at least one connection of the inner shell. By virtue of its modular set up, it permits simple, quick and comfortable connection to a foot module and advantageously protects and stabilizes the foot in particular during movement.

Abstract: A radiation protection material (10) is arranged between at least two layers (21, 22) of at least one plastic-containing element in order to produce a radiation protection element. At least part of the gas present between the at least two layers (21, 22) is removed. The at least two layers (21, 22) are connected with each other.

Abstract: The invention relates to an avalanche airbag (2), comprising a deployable outer bag (12), consisting of a flexible, gas-permeable material, and a deployable inner bag (13), consisting of a gas-tight elastic material and inflatable with gas, whereby the inner bag (13) is arranged inside the outer bag (12). The material of the inner bag (13) has an elasticity of at least 25%. The avalanche airbag (2) facilitates rapid deployment after activation over the entire temperature range as well as a small pack volume with a low total weight. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for manufacturing an avalanche airbag (2) and an avalanche airbag system.

Abstract: A relief system for at least partially relieving the body weight of a person includes at least one first fastening device for fastening a first end of a first support device and at least one second fastening device for fastening a second end of the first support device which are formed on a cuff, such that an equally distributed tensile force is exerted on the cuff at the first fastening device and second fastening device when the first support device is guided through a guide device during a movement of the cuff when loaded by at least part of the body weight of the person. This advantageously permits a simple connection in particular of a bedridden patient to the relief system, without the patient first having to be moved, without other medical/therapeutic devices being disturbed, and without limiting the patient's stepping/walking movement.

Abstract: A device for connecting a leg of a person to a movement mechanism includes a retaining element. The retaining element has at least one connecting element for directly connecting the retaining element to the movement mechanism, and a fixing device for fixing the leg of the person to the retaining element. The connecting element can rotate relative to a longitudinal axis thereof. The device advantageously permits simple and quick connection of the user to the device and also of the device, together with the user, to a movement mechanism. The device is easy to operate by third parties and also by the user, is easy to clean and disinfect and affords the user a high level of wearing comfort. The device also ensures controlled transmission of movement from the movement mechanism, in particular to the legs of the user, and in addition can be produced cost-effectively.

Abstract: A cuff for receiving at least part of an outer extremity of a person contains an inner structure, which is provided to bear on the outer extremity of the person, and an outer structure, which supports the inner structure. The inner structure contains a cavity filled with a fluid which, within the cavity, distributes itself at least in part across the cuff surface spanned by the longer sides and shorter sides of the inner structure of the cuff. It makes available a receiving device which is an improvement which permits optimized transmission of force from a machine, in particular a rehabilitation mechanism or training apparatus, to a person. Since it is formed without seams, it is particularly suitable for use in an environment in which strict demands are placed on cleaning possibilities and hygiene.
