The invention relates to a treatment apparatus comprising an envelope that can be placed on or around a body part of a person such that the envelope has a positioning area (Z) for said body part of the person, the envelope being provided with an inlet (8) for a gaseous medium and an outlet for discharging the gaseous medium present in the envelope. According to the invention, the apparatus comprises a control system (11) for controlling the flow of the gaseous medium in order to direct the gaseous medium entering the envelope via the inlet (8) outside the positioning area (Z), and to homogenise the gaseous medium present in the envelope.

A joint actuator assembly incudes a motor, a rotating driving member driven by the motor for driving a driven component, and a transmission assembly located between the motor and the rotating driving member that provides speed reduction from the motor to the rotating driving member. The rotating driving member includes a magnetic/electrical coupling comprising a magnetic coupling component configured to magnetically couple with an opposing magnetic coupling of the driven component, and an electrical element configured to provide an electrical connection to an opposing electrical element of the driven component. The actuator and driven component may be combined into a mobility device including a magnetic/electrical coupling system comprising a first magnetic/electrical coupling on the actuator assembly that magnetically and electrically couples to a second magnetic/electrical coupling on the driven component. The magnetic coupling system includes a plurality of magnetic elements located on the first and/or second magnetic/electrical couplings and opposing electrical elements for electrical connection when the actuator assembly and the driven component are joined together.

A massage device includes a handle device having two end portions, two hand grips attached to the end portions of the handle device, and two spring biased lock devices are engaged into the end portions of the handle device and each include a projection for engaging with the handle device and for extending out of the handle device and for preventing the hand grips from being disengaged from the handle device. An arm is attached to one of the end portions of the handle device, and includes a sleeve for engaging onto the handle device and for engaging with one of the spring biased lock devices. One or more massage members are detachably attached to the end portions of the arm.

A system and method to assist a user to overcome an interruption of service between the brain and the legs including several subsystems configured to be progressively removed to provide decreasing levels of lower trunk and leg support.

A compression garment apparatus including a compression garment and a pressurizer. The pressurizer intermittently pressurizes a therapeutic bladder on the compression garment and maintains a baseline pressure in the therapeutic bladder to maintain the therapeutic bladder in position with respect to a target compression zone on a body part on which the garment is worn. The baseline pressure is adjusted in response to sensed physical characteristics.

A system for providing stimulation is provided configured for wireless communication sufficient to control a stimulator when the stimulator is positioned between the bodies of two users. The system includes a stimulator configured for positioning proximate to erogenous areas of two users, providing physical stimulation to the two users by way of the erogenous areas the two users, and wirelessly receiving one or more control signals controlling one or more characteristics of the provided physical stimulation; and a remote controller configured for wirelessly transmitting the one or more control signals to the stimulator, the remote controller adapted for transmitting electronic signals representative of the one or more control signals using a wireless frequency capable of maintaining a quality of signal sufficient to control operation of the stimulator during transmission through organic tissue of both of the users.

A hand-held rotary device for tightening skin and tissue includes a handle attached to a cylindrical roller bar. A motor is disposed in a cavity of the handle, the motor having a drive shaft extending from the motor and providing the rotational force for the rotary device. The cylindrical roller bar is mounted on the drive shaft and has a cushioned and textured exterior surface.

A compression device has improved cooling capability. The device includes a wicking layer adapted to move moisture. A portion of the wicking layer is exposed from under bladder material defining a bladder. In use, the wicking layer wicks moisture from the patient's limb and the wicked moisture is able to evaporate through the device at the portion of the wicking layer that is exposed.

An actuating device for orthosis includes a transmission that is operatively connected to a motor such that the motor provides power to the transmission. The transmission includes a first stage, a second stage, and a third stage. Each of these stages includes at least two sprockets and a drive belt tensioned between the two sprockets. The transmission also includes a first shaft and a second shaft. A sprocket of each of the first, second, and third stages of the transmission is attached to the first shaft. An actuating arm is operatively connected to the third stage of the transmission such that the power provided to the transmission by the motor causes the actuating arm to provide an output torque.

A vibratory stimulation apparatus in the present disclosure includes a vibration applicator configured to apply a vibration to a body of a user, and a controller configured to control an operation of the vibration applicator. The controller is capable of executing a vibration control that cyclically changes a vibration amplitude in a state where the vibration amplitude is set at a value greater than zero.
