This application discloses a method and system for controlling a lower limb exoskeleton using a brain-computer interface based on intent confidence, relating to the field of medical rehabilitation technology. First, the system identifies the original electroencephalogram (EEG) signal to obtain intent confidence, and maps an impedance parameter set including joint stiffness and damping coefficients by combining gait phase information. Second, it extracts motion position and interaction force errors, compares the intent confidence with the actual execution state using a sliding time window to obtain neural matching errors, and merges these three into a total composite error. Simultaneously, it assesses human-machine coupling compliance based on changes in human joint angles and exoskeleton torque, and generates a safety gain coefficient. Finally, it performs gain calculations on the total composite error based on the impedance parameter set, and corrects it with the safety gain coefficient to obtain the target control torque for output to the actuator. This constructs a neural-force-motor three-loop architecture, achieving compliant and adaptive on-demand assistance and highly safe human-machine collaborative rehabilitation with defensive protection.

The utility model discloses an adjustable flexor tendon injury orthosis which comprises an orthosis forearm cylinder, a knob shoelace buckle, a thumb sleeve, an index finger sleeve, a middle finger sleeve, a ring finger sleeve and a little finger sleeve, and the thumb sleeve, the index finger sleeve, the middle finger sleeve, the ring finger sleeve and the little finger sleeve are connected with clamping grooves of the knob shoelace buckle through ropes respectively. The knob shoelace buckle is additionally arranged on the front arm cylinder of the orthosis to adjust the length of the rope, so that the use requirements of flexor tendon injury in different recovery periods can be met, and the service life of the orthosis is prolonged as much as possible; when the flexor tendon is damaged, the orthosis enables the flexor tendon to slide and promote joint movement through active stretching and passive buckling processes, and tendon adhesion and joint stiffness caused by long-term braking can be reduced to the maximum extent; along with the progress of rehabilitation treatment, the passive buckling strength can be adjusted by turning the shoelace buckle to increase or decrease the length of the rope.

The utility model discloses an orthopedic joint rehabilitation training device, which is applied to the technical field of medical instruments and can effectively improve the movement range of elbow joints, enhance the coordination of elbow and forearm muscles and promote blood circulation around the joints through controllable bending and unbending actions. Joint stiffness and soft tissue adhesion can be prevented through regular movement, and meanwhile the hand grabbing capacity is enhanced in combination with the holding action; due to the design of adjustable holding distance, arm lengths of different patients can be accurately adapted, and it is ensured that a hand holding point is aligned with the axis of a shoulder and wrist joint during elbow joint flexion and extension training; muscle strength levels of different rehabilitation stages of a patient cannot be matched due to fixed training intensity, so that joint injury is caused by overlarge early load or muscle activation is delayed due to insufficient later load.

Embodiments include a cryogenic device for alleviating pain by cryogenically treating a nerve, the cryogenic device including a handpiece; a needle coupled to a distal end of the handpiece, the needle including a needle lumen, the needle being configured for insertion into a skin of a patient along an insertion axis at a site laterally displaced from a treatment zone proximate to the nerve. The needle is configured to resiliently bend after insertion away from the insertion axis, such that at least a portion of the needle is adapted to traverse a skin layer laterally toward the treatment zone. The device includes a cooling fluid supply tube extending distally into the needle lumen; and a cooling fluid source, wherein the cooling fluid source is coupled to the cooling fluid supply tube to direct cooling fluid into the needle lumen.

A handheld personal care device having an actuator for implementing a personal care function that generates vibrations (or a plurality of different vibrations). The sensor device detects a signal that varies depending on vibrations of the personal care device. By analyzing the signal, a gripping pattern of the user on the handle is detected. This may be used to detect problems encountered by a user when creating a grip caused by a physical disability, such as ankylosis caused by arthritis.
