Support device for supporting at least one body part of a user at least in portions, optionally completely, comprising a support body, which comprises at least one support region for supporting at least one body part of a user at least in portions, optionally completely.

A medical device for providing oscillatory motion to an individual is provided. The medical device includes a holder that can hold one or more body parts of an individual and an oscillatory mechanism that can transmit an oscillating force to the holder. The medical device includes one or more sensors that provide information about the individual and one or more compliant components that are configured to allow movement of the one or more body parts that deviates from a movement of oscillation. The oscillating mechanism can dynamically change a frequency of an oscillation based on feedback from the one or more sensors. The oscillating mechanism can also dynamically change an amplitude of the oscillation based on feedback from the one or more sensors.

An overhead support system includes a plurality of posts; a plurality of beams configured to connect to and span between the posts; a counterbalance system configured to be attached to the plurality of posts; a harness configured to be worn by and support a patient; a plurality of pulleys configured to be disposed on the plurality of posts; a plurality of cables, each cable including a first end configured to be operatively connected to the harness and a second end configured to be operatively connected to a counterbalance system, each cable passing over one of the pulleys; and a mechanism configured to selectively adjust a tension in at least one of the plurality of cables to support some or all of the weight of the patient. The counterbalance system compensates to maintain support while the patient is located between the posts and the harness is lower than the pulleys.

An athletic player seating system; the athletic player seating system may include a seating unit having a first-seat, a center console, and a second-seat hosted on a frame. The first-seat and the second-seat each include a backrest, a seat portion, and a footrest having padded sections hosting heating elements and massagers positioned on all user-contacting surface points. The first-seat and the second-seat each further include a cooling system and a series of air vents positioned to direct air moved by the cooling system towards the first-seat and the second-seat. The seating unit also includes a first-liquid-container and a second-liquid-container for water and sports beverages. Additionally, the seating unit includes means for oxygen delivery to a user.

A therapeutic massage chair is reclinable between a horizontal and inclined position. The chair includes an upper back support member and a lower support member that is axially movable along a support frame, and is also rotatable about an axis which is perpendicular to the plane of the upper back support member. Electric linear actuators are provided to recline the therapeutic massage chair, and both axially move and oscillate the lower body support member. The therapeutic massage chair may be fitted with a controller system which allows the chair to be operated wirelessly from a mobile device running a mobile application, which may communicate with a web-based portal and/or database.

A massage device comprising a base portion having a first main surface, a plurality of support elements arranged in an array pattern about a first main surface of the base portion and extending through the first main surface thereof, and a massage member supportable by any one of the plurality of support elements, wherein the massage device is configured such that a user can rotate the massage member about an end portion of the massage member supported by the desired support element so as to exert a force on the user's body, thereby effecting a massaging of a portion of the user's body.

The present invention is a modular exercise system made up of two handles, a segmented track, and two or more sliding carriages. The invention allows a user to safely and incrementally practice front and side split exercises by providing specific and adjustable stability and support. The invention can be extended to accommodate taller users and can also be fully disassembled and packed into a compact travelling configuration.

A closing dressing bolster and assembly for use with a system for treating a linear wound on a patient includes a bolster body formed from a flexible closing bolster material having closing members that are operable to develop an inward closing force when the closing dressing bolster is placed under reduced pressure. In one aspect, when the closing dressing bolster is under reduced pressure, the system, dressing, or assembly develops an inward force realized at the linear wound and a compression force. A wicking-material holder and wicking material may be used as well. The member components may all be see-through to allow visual inspection of the wound without requiring removal of the dressing.

Exemplary methods and systems can be provided for resurfacing of skin that include formation of a plurality of small holes, e.g., having widths greater than about 0.2 mm and less than about 0.7 mm or 0.5 mm, using a mechanical apparatus. Compressive and/or tensile forces can then be applied to the treated region of skin as the damage heals to facilitate hole closure, and provide enhanced and/or directional shrinkage of the treated skin area.

Tissue compression devices having a tension limiting strap retainer and methods of using the same. The tissue compression devices described herein may include a strap retainer that is attached to a base by an elastic member that is configured to draw the strap retainer towards the base. The tissue compression devices described herein may also include a tension indicator that extends between the base of the tissue compression device and strap retainer. The tension indicator may be configured to limit the travel distance of the strap retainer away from the base in response to forces acting on the strap retainer. The tension indicator may also provide visual feedback to a user of the tension force in a strap to attach the tissue compression device to a patient.
