A spinal therapy apparatus includes one or more manipulating assemblies. In some examples a first manipulating member is arranged to engage a spine at a first vertebral area between a spinous process and a transverse process on a first side of a spine and a second manipulating member is arranged to engage the spine at a second vertebral area between a spinous process and a transverse process on the first side of the spine. The first and second manipulating members are coupled together at their proximal ends to permit the first and second manipulating members to be driven simultaneously and the coupling permits motion of the first and second manipulating members relative to one another in an axial direction. In other examples a drive system is adapted to drive first and second manipulating members simultaneously and independently. The disclosure also relates to a spinal therapy bed including such manipulating assemblies and methods of using and training spinal therapy devices.

A massage machine includes a casing unit, a drive device, a transmission mechanism, and two massage plate units. Two ends of the transmission mechanism are linked with the massage plate units, respectively. The drive device drives the transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism and the drive device are disposed in the casing unit. The massage plate units are disposed on the casing unit. The massage machine uses a single drive device to drive the transmission mechanism, so that the transmission mechanism can link the two massage plate units to massage a user.

A vaginal probe with sensing and data transmitting capabilities is shown and described. The probe includes physiological sensors and an optical display including light emitting diodes on a circumferential surface. Data storage and transmission capability is contained in a docking station associated with the probe. Data can be transmitted to a remote location for analysis and/or display.

An actuator handpiece for a neuromuscular stimulation device is described, said handpiece comprising: a head intended to come into contact with a body surface of a patient to be treated with a predetermined application frequency, said head being mounted on one end of a sliding rod having an opposite end provided with a magnet; a coil and an electronic board connected electrically to the coil and designed to generate a magnetic field for the alternating displacement of the magnet and therefore the head between a distal position, in which the head is intended to exert pressure on the body surface, and a proximal pressure-reducing or release position. A Teflon support structure of the coil is housed above a perforated steel plate situated in a plane defined inside a body of the actuator handpiece, the perforated plate being situated around a cylindrical wall of the support structure which, internally, defines a sliding seat for the magnet.

An orthopaedic device includes an upper exoskeleton (2, 4) and a lower exoskeleton (6), and a receiving actuator having a pivot-connection member (10). The exoskeleton is hinged with respect to one another via the pivot-connection member. A receiving transmission device (30) is designed to be able to transmit a movement to the pivot-connection member. At least a first hydraulic cylinder (20) is coupled to the receiving transmission device so as to be able to rotate said pivot-connection member. An emitting actuator has at least a first hydraulic emitting cylinder (51, 55), an emitting transmission device (60), and a motor device (70) coupled to the emitting transmission device. At least one pressurized-fluid-guiding line (42, 45) is designed to allow a hydraulic transmission of movement from the first emitting cylinder to the receiving actuator.

An electromechanical transducer for a stimulation system includes: a housing; a movable element mounted inside the housing and capable of being moved in translation by means of at least a first elastic return element; an electromagnetic actuation system, including an electromagnet and a first magnet. The electromagnet is integral with the movable element. The first elastic return element includes a thermally insulating material. The electromechanical transducer further includes a heat-sensitive element associated with the electromagnet. Further, a stimulation system comprises the electromagnetic transducer and a vehicle including such a stimulation system.

A percussive massage device includes an upper half housing, an electric motor, a lower half housing, and a handle. In response to activating the motor, the eccentric counterweight rotates. And in turn, the link converts the rotational motion of the counterweight into a reciprocating linear motion of the follower. The application head strongly moves back and forth to treat body stress or pain of a user.

A percussion massager comprises a motor, a reciprocating assembly, a mallet, a power source, a housing, and a fixing frame. The motor, the reciprocating assembly and the power source are operably arranged in the housing. The motor comprises a main body and a first rotary shaft. Part of the mallet is not located in the housing. The first rotary shaft of the motor is operably mechanically connected with the reciprocating assembly. The reciprocating assembly is mechanically connected with the mallet. The fixing frame is installed in the housing. The main body of the motor and the reciprocating assembly are installed on the fixing frame. The main body of the motor and the reciprocating assembly are installed in the housing via the fixing frame only. When the motor is electrically connected with the power source, it rotates to drive the reciprocating assembly to reciprocate under the driving of the power source, thereby driving the mallet to make reciprocating linear motion for repeated striking.

A vertical rhythm machine includes a base, a driving mechanism, an eccentric mechanism, two transmitting mechanisms and a housing. The eccentric mechanism is assembled with the driving mechanism. Each of the transmitting mechanisms includes a transmitting plate, a linking shaft, a first transmitting assembly and a second transmitting assembly. The transmitting plate is arranged on the eccentric mechanism. The linking shaft passes through the transmitting plate. The first transmitting assembly and the second transmitting assembly are pivoted on the linking shaft. The housing is disposed on the first transmitting assembly and the second transmitting assembly. The eccentric mechanism is driven by the driving mechanism to drive the transmitting plate. The transmitting plate drives the linking shaft to move reciprocally. The first transmitting assembly and the second transmitting assembly are linked with the linking shaft to drive the housing to move reciprocally.

A shoulder joint tracking apparatus includes a gravity compensation spring that compensates for a vertical movement of a shoulder joint of a trainee, a weight of an arm, and gravity to a weight of a rehabilitation exercise device attached to the arm, and a shoulder joint tracking device that is provided at one side of the shoulder rehabilitation apparatus, is connected to the gravity compensation spring, and applies a damping force corresponding to a force applied by the trainee, in a direction opposite to a direction in which the force is applied, to control a vertical movement of the shoulder rehabilitation apparatus.
