Methods for treating Blepharitis, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and Dry Eye Syndrome include thermal massage, thermal debridement, and thermal expression. Particular embodiments include use of handheld devices that provide the thermal therapy to tissue by contacting a surface heated with thermal energy to a patient's tissue. Thermal energy can be continuously provided during operation. In particular embodiments, a handheld device comprises a base assembly operatively connected to a removeable thermal energy applicator. A wide range of thermal applicators may be connected to the base assembly to provide different treatments, including heat application, debridement, and expression of the treated tissue or gland.

A device including a semi-rigid shell forming an external surface with at least part of the shell adapted to contact tissue of a body cavity. The shell includes a treatment band formed around the shell, a first portion forming a rounded end of the device that is distal to the treatment band, and a second portion formed around the circumference of the shell and located proximal to the treatment band. The device further includes a vibration mechanism configured to case the shell to vibrate, a sensor configured to provide sensor data upon contact with the tissue, and a processor configured to receive the sensor data and to use the sensor data to produce parameters of the tissue.

A medical device for assessing and/or rehabilitating a human joint of an extremity includes a joint brace comprising a first support for coupling to an upper part of the extremity, a second support for coupling to a lower part of the extremity, and a rotatable joint connecting the first and second supports, and a mechanical device coupled to the first and second supports, the mechanical device configured for moving one or more of the first and second supports so as to rotate about the joint. In another alternative the medical device can include sensors located for making angle measurements between the first and second supports and for recording movement data and a computing device for receiving and storing the angle measurements and the movement data and for transmitting said data via a radio transmitter.

This disclosure provides devices and methods for stretching that include an anchor configured to attached to a force providing element; a support, the anchor operably attached to the support; a plurality of finger traps operably attached to the support; and a wrist cuff operably attached to the support.

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.

An elbow joint boost device has first and second frames to be attached to the forearm and lower arm of a patient. A guide mounted on the first frame extends generally along the respective one of the forearm and upper arm. A link is mounted on the guide for sliding movement along the guide, and a spring acts in tension between the sliding link and a point on the second frame remote from the patient's elbow. As the patient straightens and bends the elbow, the link can slide along the guide, varying the leverage of the tension spring.

A system is disclosed. The system has a tipping module, comprising computer-executable code stored in non-volatile memory, a processor, and a user device. The tipping module, the processor, and the user device are configured to display one or more multimedia content pages on a user interface of the user device, the one or more multimedia content pages associated with one or more live broadcast platforms, display one or more tipping graphical elements on the user interface of the user device, the one or more tipping graphical elements associated with the one or more multimedia content pages, and execute at least one tip operation on the one or more live broadcast platforms, the at least one tip operation associated with the one or more tipping graphical elements and responsive to a trigger instruction of any of the one or more tipping graphical elements.

An image processing device includes an input/output interface, and at least one processor. The at least one processor executes: detecting feature points in a facial image of an object included in an image taken from the input/output interface; acquiring first distance information between the feature points before a beauty treatment is performed; acquiring second distance information between the feature points at a second timing after the beauty treatment is performed; acquiring a difference value between the first distance information and the second distance information; and determining whether the beauty treatment is correctly given or has been given based on a different value between the acquired distance information.

A one handed walk assist device featuring a handle and plurality of legs affixed to a variably shaped support frame, featuring various independent embodiments including an embodiment trapezoidal orientation between the front and back legs, and an embodiment apparatus orientation that is angled backwardly. A variety of storage/carriage compartments are disclosed.

An external structural brace apparatus for supporting a user in a semi standing position on a surface includes first and second support extension beams that to attach to the surface, also included is a channel having a base with first and second legs, wherein the first and second legs extend in the same direction from opposing sides of the base, the first leg is affixed to the first support structure and the second leg is affixed to the second support structure, the channel can be lockably positioned along the first and second beams. In addition, a saddle seat with a midpoint extension portion, the saddle is attached between the first and second legs and positioned such that the midpoint extension extends opposite of the base, wherein operationally the user partially rests their buttocks on the saddle and leans their back against the base to assume a semi supported standing posture.
