This disclosure concerns a communication system adapted to communicate between a handheld remote control and a first adjustable bed controller of a first adjustable bed facility, and a second communication system adapted to communicate between the first adjustable bed controller of the first adjustable bed facility and a second adjustable bed controller of a second adjustable bed facility.

A physiotherapeutic device is disclosed. In an embodiment a physiotherapeutic device includes an arm trainer configured to rotationally move arms of a patient, the arm trainer having a first axis and a leg trainer configured to rotationally move legs of the patient, the leg trainer having a second axis, wherein the first and second axes comprise an adjustability in height, wherein a distance of the first axis to the second axis is constant, wherein the arm and leg trainers are adjustable in height so that an adjustment in height results in different exercising positions.

The present invention provides an adjustable bed handheld remote control that may include a handheld housing, a touch sensor on a front face of the handheld housing, a transmitter and the like. The touch sensor may be presented in a slider form and may be adapted to facilitate a user in adjusting a frame position of an adjustable bed. The transmitter may be electrically coupled to a processor and may receive input from the touch sensor, for communication control signals to the adjustable bed in accordance with the input received from the touch sensor.

Provide is a health appliance and a method using the same which achieve active and appropriate assistance of bending of a knee joint. The health appliance, which allows a user lying or seated to move their knee joint while supporting the knee joint, includes a support 1 which is a triangular prism having one side surfaces as a bottom surface 11, and an aid 2 mounted on the leg below the knee and can be pulled by the user. The support 1 has a width W at which one knee is supported, and has a cross section forming a triangle with a base corresponding to one side surface 11 and an acute diagonal angle θ1. When sandwiched under the user's knee, the base angle θ2 adjacent to the toe is larger than the diagonal angle θ1 and smaller than the base angle θ3 adjacent to the thigh.

A trigger point therapy device for applying pressure to a localized area of myofascial tissue that is accessed from the exterior of a patient's body. The therapy device includes a base portion has top and bottom surfaces that define a width dimension for the base portion. The therapy device also includes a pressure applicator that is connected to the base portion. The device allows an equivalent amount of pressure to be applied while the patient is lying on a soft surface as compared to lying on a hard surface. This increases the length of time that a patient will can comfortably use the device and promotes usage of the device by the patient. A method includes placing the device on a soft surface and positioning a patient on the soft surface to place the pressure applicator in engagement with the localized area of myofascial tissue.

A bed for promoting growth and relaxing joints and muscles includes a bed mattress part and rotation roller parts on both sides of the mattress part to support a user's upper and lower body, which move the user's upper and lower body in the directions of the end of the head and the end of the toes with respect to a pelvis region to stretch the body, thereby promoting growth and relaxing the joints and muscles. The bed promotes growth, in infants, children and teenagers, by providing an artificial stimulus of stretching not only joints in which physeal plates are positioned, but also the whole body in a sleeping state; and in the case of adults whose growth period is complete, recovering joints which have been pressed due to activities such as standing or carrying heavy items, promoting blood circulation by stimulating the skin, and relaxing the muscles.

A personal therapy compartment includes a base of size to receive a human patient. The compartment includes a bed in the base said bed being made of a light transmissive material. An array of lights mounted is below the bed to transmit light onto a body supported on the bed. A control panel controls at least the wavelength, intensity and pulsation of the light.

Device and method for relieving muscle tension. The device includes a tip portion with a first three dimensional geometry, an extension portion with a second three dimensional geometry, and a base portion with a third three dimensional geometry. The device is configured such that a user can attain trigger point release on a muscle or muscle group by positioning the device on a fixed surface, positioning the tip portion of the device to be in contact with the muscle or muscle group, and then selectively applying pressure to the muscle or muscle group using the weight of the user and contact forces.

Provided is a massage system for a massage facility in which a robot arm is provided and a massage is performed with respect to a user by the robot arm, the system including a control unit configured to cause the robot arm to perform a massage operation in response to a program, and a setting unit configured to receive a setting operation of a setting position used for the massage operation from an operator, in which the control unit is configured to cause the robot arm to perform the massage operation with respect to a treatment position based on the setting position.

Improved low vibrational delivery system, suitable for individual to lie or sit upon and receive vibration. Multiple layers of vibrational attenuation iterative internally within design facilitate the optimized delivery, especially with regards to low vibrations. Key methodologies with regards to structural stability and the functional, unimpeded localization of resonators completes the novel, coherent design for optimized vibrational delivery which this invention embodies.
