A temperature-adjustment shoe sole, including a supporting member. The supporting member is provided with an air guide channel. A semiconductor temperature control unit, wherein the semiconductor temperature control unit is arranged in the supporting member. The semiconductor temperature control unit has a first temperature control end and a second temperature control end. The first temperature control end of the semiconductor temperature control unit is in contact with an air fluid in an accommodating space to generate a first air fluid. The second temperature control end of the semiconductor temperature control unit is in contact with the air fluid in the accommodating space to generate a second air fluid.

Systems, devices and methods for providing active and/or passive compression therapy to a body part can include a compression device worn over a compression stocking. The compression device can have a pulley based drive train that is driven by a motor to tighten and loosen compression elements, such as compression straps, in a precise, rapid, and balanced manner. Sensors can be used in the compression device and/or compression stockings to provide feedback to modulate the compression treatment parameters.

Disclosed is an intelligent shoe for the blind, which includes a sole and an upper. At least a portion of the sole is provided with multiple pressure sensors for generating pressure sensing signals when the sole is in contact with raised ground surface. The intelligent shoe further includes a storage chip, used to pre-store a signal characteristic of pressure sensing signals generated when the sole is in contact with a blind sidewalk, and a ata processing chip electrically connected to the multiple pressure sensors and the storage chip, used to compare a signal characteristic of pressure sensing signals from the pressure sensors with the pre-stored signal characteristic, and determine that the sole deviates from the blind sidewalk and send a prompt signal in the case that the signal characteristic of the pressure sensing signals from the pressure sensors is inconsistent with the pre-stored signal characteristic.

A support material having an hourglass shape reduces the cost of manufacturing as well as increasing comfort and air circulation. The support material includes a primary end having a primary diameter located opposite a secondary end having a secondary diameter. A substantially central portion of the support material has a tertiary diameter being a size less than the primary and secondary diameters. Additional improvements include an improved outer wall surface of the support material having at least one recess. The at least one recess can retain a substance such as a cooling gel.

An injured musculoskeletal structure is mobilized relative to a juxtaposing support structure surface to isolate the injured musculoskeletal structure from forces transferred from adjoining musculoskeletal structures in order to alleviate pain, discomfort, inflammation, and further injury associated with such transferred forces.

A variety of devices for protecting a user's foot from injury are disclosed. In one embodiment, the device may be a metatarsal protection device, which may include a first layer of material having top and bottom surfaces, with at least one of such surfaces including a series of cones or a pattern of hexagons thereon. The metatarsal protection device may also include a second relatively rigid layer of material overlying the first layer, and the first layer may be shaped to conform to the metatarsal region of the user's foot, such that the device is configured to protect the metatarsal region against injury. Other configurations and variations of a metatarsal protection device are also disclosed, as are other uses for the principles of the invention(s) disclosed herein (e.g., protection devices for other areas of the foot, etc.)

The present disclosure provides a foot dumbbell exerciser, including an exerciser body and a counterweight fixing member. The exerciser body is composed of a base support member, a lateral support member, and an outer wrapping fixing member. The counterweight fixing member is detachably mounted at the bottom of the base support member. An exercising counterweight member is detachably mounted on the counterweight fixing member. According to the present disclosure, a counterweight fixing member is detachably mounted on the bottom surface of a base support member, and exercising counterweight members such as a dumbbell may be detachably mounted on the counterweight fixing member, so that leg-specific exercises may also be carried out indoors with a small space, and installation and disassembly are more convenient and faster with better exercising effects.

A method and an article of manufacture are disclosed for exchanging heat with a human body part to reduce fever, reduce localized swelling, warm up feet, cool down the body, increase body core temperature, and the like. A double walled water-tight article of clothing, such as a boot or a glove, may include a fluid inlet and outlet. A single walled but water-tight article of clothing may be used around a body part and allow the water to contact the skin inside the article of clothing for more rapid and direct heat exchange. Pumps, heating or cooling elements, thermometers or other devices may be included with the article of clothing. The article of clothing may be compartmentalized to concentrate the fluid around a particular body part. Multilayered articles of clothing are also disclosed to inject a thermal gas into a heat exchange space to cool or warm a user.
