A stimulation device is provided in accordance with one embodiment. The stimulation device includes a chamber which has a flexible wall portion. A drive unit of the stimulation device is in physical communication with the flexible wall portion so as to cause deflections of the flexible wall portion in opposing directions, thereby resulting in a changing volume of the chamber. The changing volume of the chamber results in modulated positive and negative pressures with respect to a reference pressure. An opening of the stimulation device is for applying the modulated positive and negative pressures to a body part. The stimulation device includes a control device for controlling the drive unit.

A therapeutic massage system includes a cushion and a controller unit operably connected by tubing. The cushion has a therapy pad coupled to a support pad. The support pad includes a plurality of compartments that may be filled with microbeads or other supportive material that self-adjusts to conform to the contours of an individual's body. The therapy pad includes a plurality of selectively inflatable and deflatable channels. The controller unit includes a processor operably connected to a diverter for controlling the delivery of air to and exhausting of air from the channels of the therapy pad. The massage system can be customized to provide user-specific treatment.

A health-regain device, includes a driving portion, a health portion disposed on one side of the driving portion, and a control module communicably connected to the driving portion, wherein the control module controls the driving portion driving the health portion in rhythmic reciprocating motion.

A vehicle includes a vehicle seat including a plurality of actuatable massage elements. The vehicle includes a dedicated physical massage function button located on a dash or a console of the vehicle. The vehicle includes a display configured to present a menu of vehicle configuration options when the dedicated physical massage function button is held for a threshold amount of time. The vehicle includes a memory and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to receive, from a user, a selection of the configuration options for the vehicle seat presented on the display. The processor is configured to receive a signal indicating that the dedicated massage function button is pressed. The processor is configured to activate the plurality of actuatable massage elements according to the selection of configuration options in response to the signal indicating that the dedicated massage function button is pressed.

A garment for providing circulatory-related disorder therapy includes a skin contacting layer, a backing layer, and a coupling. The backing layer is coupled to the skin contacting layer such that the skin contacting layer and the backing layer form a plurality of macro-chambers. A first one of the plurality of macro-chambers is partitioned into a plurality of micro-chambers. Each of the plurality of micro-chambers is in direct fluid communication with at least one other of the plurality of micro-chambers. The coupling is coupled to the backing layer and is configured to supply pressurized air directly into the first macro-chamber such that the pressurized air is delivered to a first one of the plurality of micro-chambers of the first macro-chamber.

Systems and devices described herein provide respiration assistance to users who have difficulty breathing on their own, and include a cuirass configured to be coupled to a thorax of the user and a ventilator fluidically coupled to the cuirass. The ventilator includes a housing, a pump including an inlet and outlet, a valve, an actuator, and a controller in communication with the actuator. The controller is configured to cause the actuator to: move the valve into a first configuration in which a first flow path of the valve fluidically couples the outlet to the cuirass and a second flow path of the valve fluidically couples the inlet to an external environment during exhalation and move the valve into a second configuration in which the first flow path fluidically couples the inlet to the cuirass and the second flow path fluidically couples the outlet to the internal volume during inhalation.

An intermittent compression system for veno-lymphatic care of at least one limb of a person to be treated comprising: an inelastic inflatable garment having at least one independent inflatable chamber, an inflator, in fluid communication with the inflatable chamber, at least one pressure regulator, to control the inflating pressure of the inflatable chambers, the system comprising at least one flowmeter, adapted to be in fluid communication with at least one of the garment chambers.

A thigh therapeutic compression apparatus for providing pressure to a limb or other body part namely a thigh, including a bladder assembly having at least one bladder within a primary wrap and/or a secondary wrap. The primary wrap includes an inflation port to connect to an inflation means which provides either constant or varying pressure within the bladder and a check valve is included in the inflation port and/or inflation means. The primary wrap is connected to a stabilization means configured to be attached to a belt or other means around the waist of the body.

The present disclosure provides a flexible suit and a flexible system for rehabilitation training of a human leg. The flexible suit includes a first hip joint motion assembly, a first knee joint motion assembly and a first ankle joint motion assembly, a first end of the first knee joint motion assembly is connected with the first hip joint motion assembly, a second end of the first knee joint motion assembly is connected with the first ankle joint motion assembly, the first hip joint motion assembly, the first knee joint motion assembly, and the first ankle joint motion assembly each includes a flexible mechanism, and at least one of a group consisting of the first hip joint motion assembly, the first knee joint motion assembly, and the first ankle joint motion assembly is configured to operate under gas drive.

A pneumatic system includes a passage to discharge compressed air and a sound attenuator including a first chamber in fluid communication with the passage and defined by a first wall through which the passage opens into the first chamber, a first surface of a second wall spaced from and opposite the first wall, and a sidewall extending between the first and second walls. The first chamber has a volume and includes a first opening in the sidewall. A second chamber is in fluid communication with the first opening and partially surrounds the first chamber. The second chamber is partially defined by a second surface of the second wall opposite the first surface and by the sidewall, and the second chamber has a volume and includes a second opening to exhaust air from the second chamber. The volume of the first chamber is less than that of the second chamber.
