Foldable massage chair with triangular support configuration
A foldable massage chair, including a face pillow assembly for supporting the head, a chest pillow assembly for supporting the chest, a handrail assembly for supporting wrists, a front support piece, a seat cushion assembly, a back support rod, a kneeboard assembly, a back supporting frame, and a front supporting frame. When a user needs to use this chair, it is placed in an expanded or use position, so the user may sit on the seat cushion and lean on the massage chair, completely exposing his back, waist, and hips for a masseur to massage. When the chair needs to be put away, it is possible to fold down the chair into a collapsed position by folding the seat cushion assembly, front support piece, chest pillow assembly, and handrail assembly. Also, the front supporting frame is folded towards the back supporting frame. Consequently, the size of the entire chair decreases.
Walker specialized for trail use
A walker specialized for use on trails by pushing and walking, rather than riding on, with no drivetrain is provided. The walker can include a frame, two inline wheels, and a handlebar steering mechanism. The walker can further include a braking mechanism, an elbow rest, an electric motor, and racks and/or carriers for gear.
Collapsible and Transportable Parallel Bar Assembly
A portable physical therapy system for remote physical therapy and related methods. The system includes collapsible bars that are hingedly attachable to handrails, and the collapsible bars are securable at any of a plurality of lengths. The system also includes bar feet, and each bar foot secures a collapsible bar or a base thereon and securely engages a surface thereunder. The lower portion of the bar foot includes a suction cup to secure the bar foot to the surface by suction. The system may be folded up into the base which functions as a carrying case for storage or transport of the system and may be unfolded and assembled as a set of parallel bars, a pull bar, or another configuration for physical therapy and rehabilitation.
SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES FOR ENVIRONMENT DETECTION FOR THE VISION IMPAIRED
Systems, devices, and methods are provided which provide a processor in a server computer, a device including an optical sensor, and a cane. The device may be connected electronically to a cane through wired or wireless technology. The cane may include a haptic controller which provides a notification to a user.
Foot-based massage apparatus
A foot-based massage apparatus includes a base member having a first end portion and a second end portion opposite the first end portion. A top surface of the base member has a generally rectangular configuration. A first connector member is coupled to the first end portion, and a second connector member is coupled to the second end portion. A flexible member is coupled to the first connector member and the second connector member. When tension is applied to the flexible member, the flexible member supports a massage practitioner providing a foot-based massage. A first gripping member and a second gripping member are coupled to the base member. The first gripping member and the second gripping member restrict movement of the base member relative to a supporting surface.
Adjustable Myofascial Release Device
Disclosed is an adjustable myofascial release device that includes a compression roller; a plurality of rods; and a plurality of releasing hinges. The rods are connected with the compression roller. The releasing hinges are adjusted by a user and adaptable to receive pressure from the user. Each of the releasing hinges is fixed at a distal end of the rods. The releasing hinges are attached to the compression roller and the rods by a plurality of locking mechanisms.
Device for producing continuous negative abdominal pressure
This disclosure relates to device for providing continuous negative abdominal pressure (CNAP) which selectively recruits (inflates) the dorsal (spinal region) collapsed areas of the lung, while enabling the patient to remain in the supine (usual) position. The CNAP device includes a rigid frame configured to have a shape and size to envelop a patient's lower chest and abdominal area while in a supine position with the frame having opposed edges which sit on a surface on which the supine patient is resting. A series of panels are mounted in the frame such that the series of panels extend around the patient's lower chest and abdominal area. A flexible sheet wrapped around the outside of the panels and is long enough to extend up to the patient's upper chest and down to the patient's thighs and wide enough to envelop the supine patient's lower chest and abdominal area. Sealing members are to seal the flexible sheet over the frame and panels and around the patient's lower chest and pelvis, wherein a chamber is formed between the patient and said device when the patient is enveloped by the device. An air inlet coupling extends through one of the panels and is attachable to a suction source which is configured to generate negative pressure of between about −5 to about −10 cm H.sub.2O inside the chamber.
MOTORISED WALKER AND ASSOCIATED CONTROL METHOD
The invention relates to a motorized walker (1) comprising a frame (10) having a front portion (10a) and a rear portion (10b), a pair of wheels (11), with one wheel arranged to support the front portion of the frame, one of the wheels being coupled to a traveling motor (20), said motorized walker (1) being characterized in that: the frame (10) is equipped with two verticalization ramps (100) having a longitudinal axis forming an angle with an axis perpendicular to the ground, between 20° and 40°, each being associated with an electronic handle (200) movable in translation, it comprises at least one verticalization motor (30) arranged to allow movement of the electronic handles (200), and at least one of the electronic handles (200) comprises one or more sensors coupled to a control module (40) configured to control the verticalization motor (30) and the traveling motor (20).
CABLE TENSION ADJUSTER FOR HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE WHEELED VEHICLE
The present application relates to a cable tension adjuster for a manually operated, height-adjustable wheeled vehicle. The vehicle includes a brake assembly including a brake cable assembly and a brake cable housing shaped to enclose an excess portion of the brake cable assembly. The brake assembly includes a cable adjuster coupled to the brake cable assembly, where the cable adjuster is enclosed by the brake cable housing. The brake cable housing provides an access port to access the cable tension adjuster.
