The present disclosure provides a standing assistance apparatus including a support part configured to support a load, a saddle part configured to accommodate a patient to allow the patient to position from sitting condition to standing condition, and a guide part coupled between the support part and the saddle part and having an adjustable length to guide the patient to stand, wherein the guide part is disposed in diagonal direction with respect to the support part to guide the patient to stand in the diagonal direction.

Standing assistance apparatus

A guiding apparatus for remote medical treatments includes a first pivoting link pivotally connected to a pivot shaft, a second pivoting link pivotally connected to the first pivoting link, a driver pulley member capable of fixing the first pivoting link and the second pivoting link to each other through screw fastening, a driven pulley member capable of fixing the first pivoting link to the pivot shaft through screw fastening, and a locking wire connected to the driver pulley member and the driven pulley member to transmit a rotational force from the driver pulley member to the driven pulley member. As the driver pulley member rotates, the driven pulley member rotates together, so that the fixing of the first pivoting link and the second pivoting link to each other and the fixing of the first pivoting link to the pivot shaft is accomplished simultaneously.

Guiding apparatus for remote medical treatments

A module connection system is configured by connecting a plurality of modules by means of connectors. The modules include a base module, a first module and a second module, and the connectors include a first connector and a second connector. The base module transmits power and signals provided from a driving source, the first module is electrically/mechanically connected to the base module by means of the first connector, and the second module is electrically/mechanically connected to the first module by means of the second connector. The first connector includes a larger number of connection terminals in comparison to the second connector in order to transmit power and signals from the base module to the second module and simultaneously supply power and signals required for the first module.
