A handheld device for applying mechanical vibration to a body portion of an individual to treat a condition of the individual, includes: a housing; a cantilever beam having a first portion accommodated in the housing, and a second portion that is moveable relative to the housing, wherein the second portion is configured to apply the mechanical vibration to the body portion; and a motor in the housing, the motor configured to oscillate the second portion of the cantilever beam at an oscillation frequency.

Described herein are wearable sensory stimulation and monitoring devices that can be worn around the back of the neck along and in contact with the spine. The wearable device includes cuff, band and head cover members as form factors. Apparatuses described herein stimulate one or more senses including auditory, tactile or olfactory. Apparatuses are also described that allow for sensing and monitoring of physiologic parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure and movement. The device also has features that allow for easy attachment or integration to articles worn on the head such as augmented reality and virtual reality accessories to provide visual stimulation and entertainment.

An adjustable apparatus, system, and method for the regeneration of tissue by aligning a direction of therapy toward a tissue to be treated with mechanotherapy or mechanotransduction therapy.

Air cushion assembly for a seat, such as a vehicle seat, comprising at least an air cushion and an air supply system for variably pressurizing the air cushions of the air cushion assembly with air. A respective supply line comprising a shut-off valve leads from the air supply system to each air cushion, where a pulsation module is provided and configured to act upon each air cushion with a pulsation. The pulsation module comprises a pneumatic element which is connected in a pressure-equalized manner to at least one supply line, and an actuating element for transmitting a mechanical motion to the pneumatic element for changing the volume of the pneumatic element in order to generate a pulsation.

A method to treat a dry eye condition of an individual, includes: receiving a switch signal generated based on a manipulation of a control switch at a handheld device; and activating a motor in response to the switch signal to oscillate a member at an oscillation frequency, the member having an elongated configuration, and having a portion for placement outside the individual; wherein the oscillation frequency is sufficient to induce tear production when the portion of the member is applied towards a surface of a body portion of the individual.

A suction vibrator includes a housing including a main body vibration portion and a suction vibrating portion, a suction vibrating head including a suction bowl and a driving handle, a core tube and a coil winding. The suction bowl includes a bowl bottom and a bowl wall, both of which can form an airtight space with the skin of the massage part. The bowl wall can be elastically deformed to produce elastic force and discharge the air in the airtight space. A massage block is provided on the bowl bottom connected to the driving handle provided thereof with a permanent magnet. The coil winding is wound on the outside of the core tube and produces a magnetic field in the direction of the core tube and coil winding when the coil winding is energized, the permanent magnet in the driving handle is at least partially located in the magnetic field.

A multimodal wearable band which uses mechanical vibrations to stimulate sensory neurons in the wrist or ankle in order to reduce the severity of tremors, rigidity, involuntary muscle contractions, and bradykinesia caused by neurological movement disorders and to free users from freezing induced by movement disorders. The device uses sensors to provide output used by a processing unit to determine the optimal stimulation pattern for each user and to determine when stimulation is necessary, and then uses one or more vibration motors to accordingly stimulate the user's neurological pathways to lessen the severity of a user's symptoms. The device can also be adapted to integrate with 3rd party devices.

A wearable apparatus for the treatment or prevention of osteopenia or osteoporosis, stimulating bone growth, preserving or improving bone mineral density, and inhibiting adipogenesis is disclosed where the apparatus may generally comprise one or more vibrating elements configured for imparting repeated mechanical loads to the hip, femur, and/or spine of an individual at a frequency and acceleration sufficient for therapeutic effect. These vibrating elements may be secured to the upper body of an individual via one or more respective securing mechanisms, where the securing mechanisms are configured to position the one or more vibrating elements in a direction lateral to the individual, and the position, tension, and efficacy of these vibrating elements may be monitored and/or regulated by one or more accelerometers.

The present application is concerned with a skin treatment device that has a handle section arranged to be held in a human user's hand, a treatment head section having a skin treatment unit and a skin contact frame having a skin contact surface, the skin contact frame at least partially encircling a skin treatment area and a vibration generation unit being coupled with the skin contact frame to vibrate at least a portion of the skin contact frame at an ultrasonic frequency.
