A therapeutic support apparatus comprises multiple layers of foam having different densities and memories. The support apparatus comfortably supports the weight of a user while minimizing pressure points between the user and the support apparatus. Each foam layer has a unique density and memory based upon the type of tissue the layer is intended to support. A relatively low-memory outer foam layer made from latex non-viscoelastic foam substantially supports skin and subcutaneous tissue. A relatively high-density and medium-memory intermediate layer made from polyurethane foam supports muscle tissue. A relatively high-density and high-high memory core layer made from polyurethane foam supports the spine. In combination, these layers minimize hyperextension and promote blood circulation and comfort while the support apparatus is used by a user positioned in a supine, recumbent, or sideways-lying position.

A device that straps against the front of one's pelvis and features chest and leg engagements extending from a central main-body to create a personal upper body support system. As wearer bends forward from the waist, the leg engagements leverage oppositely threaded shafts to screw together into an internally threaded main-body either against a powerful spring means used to effect a compressive stop or a spring-back counter force to the wearer's overhanging upper body weight. A knob-ended threaded rod screws through one of the shafts to adjust the point of engagement and/or spring tension. This device creates a prop effect between the wearer's chest and upper legs. The oppositely threaded shafts provide a unique mechanism that divides the transferred load equally to each leg regardless of leg stance, as well as for allowing unrestricted upright walking.

An upper body device includes a thoracic support region comprising a spinal region having a convex arcuate section on an upper surface thereof to properly position a user's shoulders with respect to the users head, cervical and spinal region.

The embodiment of the invention provides a screen body supporting device and a foldable flexible display device. The problem that in the prior art, a flexible display screen in a foldable display screen is stretched in the bending process, so that display fails is solved. According to the screen body supporting device, through the arrangement of a rotary shaft and a folding assembly, a first supporting part and a second supporting part rotate and move relatively, in other words, when the screen body supporting device is bent, the first supporting part is close to the rotary shaft while rotating, the second supporting part guides a screen body to be bent, the total length of the screen body supporting device cannot change, the flexible display screen cannot be stretched in the bending process, and therefore the display screen body is prevented from failing.

A body-supporting device includes a tray, a net and a frame. The tray includes a margin and a groove in the margin. The groove gets narrower downwardly. The net includes a margin. The frame includes a first rib for inserting the margin of the net into the groove of the tray and a second rib for pressing the margin of the net against the margin of the tray. The first rib gets narrower downwardly. Fasteners are driven into the first rib of the frame through the margin of the tray. The sandwiching of the margin of the net between the first rib of the frame and the margin of the tray gets firmer as the fasteners get tighter in the first rib of the frame.

Bi-directional resistance exercise apparatus designed to offer resistance to opposing muscle groups. The apparatus provides continuous and sequential resistance during the extension and flexion phases. The apparatus includes a controller including a graphic display. Resistance is provided by a variable resistance element such as a magnetic brake. A chair or other body supporting devices support the user depending on the exercise being performed. Force is applied by the user to a rotatable limb or torso retaining member and is transferred to the shaft of the magnetic brake. The brake applies variable resistance determined by the software instructions issued by the controller. The resistance levels can be pre-programmed or specifically selected by the user. The brake force varies instantaneously during the flexion and extension phases based on the angular position of the input shaft. A record of the exercise activity can be stored and displayed by the microprocessor controller.
