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 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 device and a method for reversibly connecting a rehabilitation mechanism to a bed, such as a hospital bed that can be brought to a vertical position. The device has a connection element arranged on the rehabilitation mechanism; a receiving unit, which can be arranged at the side of and/or at the foot end of the bed; the receiving unit corresponds in design to the connection element; and a transport device for transporting the rehabilitation mechanism toward and away from the bed. The transport device and/or the bed is height-adjustable. A method for operating a rehabilitation mechanism connected to a bed by way of the novel device. Easy, fast, reversible connection of a rehabilitation mechanism to a conventional hospital bed is enabled, in particular to a hospital bed that can be brought to a vertical position. Existing beds can be quickly and economically retrofitted with a robot system for kinesiotherapy.
