In a stimulus method, a stimulus applying apparatus is attached to an area selected from a group of specific parts of a body surface by an acupuncture needle(s) or heating etc. thereby releasing the stress, and a stress-free medical treatment method based on the stimulus method.

An orthosis for increasing a range of motion of an ankle is disclosed. In various embodiments, the orthosis includes a frame including a ball shell and a heel shell; a first actuator disposed on the ball shell and configured to apply a first force against a ball region of a foot, resulting in a moment being applied at the ankle; and a first rod connecting the heel shell and the ball shell, the first rod being slidably connected to at least one of the heel shell or the ball shell. In various embodiments, a second actuator is disposed on the heel shell and configured to apply a second force against a heel region of the foot. In various embodiments, a calf shell is configured to support a calf region of a leg that is connected to the ankle.

A platform for conditioning meridian functions includes a pedal and a bracket mechanism; the bracket mechanism includes: a bracket and an angle adjusting mechanism; the angle adjusting mechanism includes: a first angle adjusting mechanism and a second angle adjusting mechanism; the first angle adjusting mechanism includes: a first support rod, a first adjusting sleeve, a first gear shaft and a first adjusting groove; the second angle adjusting mechanism includes: a second support rod, a second adjusting sleeve, a second gear shaft and a second adjusting groove; the first adjusting groove and the second adjusting groove are symmetrically provided in plurality. By providing the angle adjusting mechanism, different inclination angles of the pedal can be realized, and the combined design of the angle adjusting mechanism, the support rods and the adjusting sleeves effectively improves the stability and security of a pack up angle adjusted by a support plate of the pedal.

Apparatus for locomotion therapy is provided which includes a base (11), a first table portion (15) and a tilting mechanism (12, 13) to tilt said first table portion (15) between a horizontal position, an inclined or a vertical position. A foot mechanism (16) is mounted to the first table portion (15). Furthermore, the position of a second table portion (17) is adjustable with respect to the first table portion (15) to adapt the apparatus to patients of different heights.

A device can comprise: a trigger chamber, having a trigger elastic wall and a trigger base wall, the trigger chamber configured for relative motion between the trigger elastic wall and the trigger base wall; a connecting line fluidly coupled to the trigger chamber, the connecting line having a substantially inelastic wall; a stimulation chamber fluidly coupled to the connecting line, the stimulation chamber having a stimulation elastic wall and a stimulation base wall, the stimulation chamber configured for relative motion between the stimulation elastic wall and the stimulation base wall, the stimulation elastic wall having an exterior surface; a plurality of projections coupled to the exterior surface; and a stabilizing frame, the stabilizing frame having a substantially rigid wall, the stabilizing frame having a plurality of apertures, the stabilizing frame extending over the stimulation chamber, the projections configured to extend through the apertures when the stimulation chamber is expanded.

The footwear includes a sole, a plurality of massage units, and a controller. The sole provides a support to the underside of a user's foot when the user is wearing the footwear. The massage units each include a channel, a plunger, a spring, and an actuator. The plunger is disposed within the channel and may slide within it linearly. The plunger has a shaft which terminates in an applicator, the applicator being round and configured to provide pressure to the user's foot. The spring is configured to maintain the plunger within a contact-position when at rest. This contact-position occurs when the plunger is maximally distal to the spring. The actuator is able to draw the plunger against the spring and release the plunger in repetition when energized, enacting a massaging action. The controller is able to selectively engage the actuators.
