Described herein are cold therapy devices and methods for making same and, more particularly, to a garment comprising cold therapy components that may be placed adjacent a wearer's body at various locations while remaining fixed in place during activities, such as walking or movement, without requiring the wearer to hold the cold components in place or remain sedentary.

Described are methods for inducing browning of adipose tissue. More specifically, the present disclosure relates generally to methods for inducing browning of adipose tissue remote to the treatment location. The methods can include at least a first treatment and a second treatment, wherein the treatments comprise applying a cooling element to a local adipose tissue deposit, wherein the cooling element cools the local adipose tissue deposit to a temperature of between 0° C. to 30° C. for a period of time sufficient to induce browning of adipose tissue in one or more areas of the subject's body remote to the local adipose tissue deposit.

The present disclosure is for a therapeutic thermal pack configured to conform to three dimensional surfaces. The therapeutic thermal pack comprises first and second plastic sheets bound together forming a sack. The sack further comprises a plurality of joint lines forming open or closed cells within the boundary of the sack. The open and closed cells are configured to enhance the flexibility of the sack. The sack contains a flowable thermal material within the open or closed cells.

An improved pain management and post-operative hip orthosis includes a waist strap having first and second ends, a lower strap having first and second ends, and a pocket extending between the waist strap and lower strap. The pocket has inner and outer panels fastened to each other to define an upper opening and a lower opening. A cooling pack including a reservoir and inlet and outlet tubes extending from a bottom of the reservoir is applied to the pocket such that the inlet and outlet tubes pass through the lower opening of the pocket.

A device for enhancement of visual appearance including a first applicator to be coupled to a first area of a body region, with a first magnetic field generating device and a first radiofrequency electrode, a second applicator to be coupled to a second area of the body region, with a second magnetic field generating device. The device further includes a first energy storage device, a second energy storage device, and a first switching device to discharge energy from the first energy storage device to the first magnetic field generating to generate a first time-varying magnetic field to cause muscle contraction, and a second switching to discharge energy from the second energy storage device to the second magnetic field generating device to generate a second time-varying magnetic field. The first radiofrequency electrode may provide first radiofrequency waves causing heating of tissue within the first area of the body region.

A method of treating tissue of a patient uses a device including a mother case, a belt, at least one treatment unit and at least two applicators. The treatment method may include attaching first and second applicators to the belt at a working distance to the patient's surface, and providing different treatment energy to the first applicator and the second applicator. A treatment pattern is created by the applicators providing the different treatment energies. The hardware pattern or positions of the applicators on the belt may be changed before and/or during the treatment. The hardware pattern may be based on selected treatment effect and body part.

Configurations are disclosed for a health system to be used in various healthcare applications, e.g., for patient diagnostics, monitoring, and/or therapy. The health system may comprise a light generation module to transmit light or an image to a user, one or more sensors to detect a physiological parameter of the user's body, including their eyes, and processing circuitry to analyze an input received in response to the presented images to determine one or more health conditions or defects.

Our design provides a moderate control of abduction and adduction without requiring tools. This can be accomplished with a first push button 5, shown in FIG. 1, for a hip adjustment of both abduction and adduction between a hip shell 2 and a hip hinge assembly that provides release of locking pins for setting the flexion and extension movement of the user's leg. A second push button 6 provides abduction and adduction between the hip hinge assembly 1 and a thigh supporting unit. To facilitate an initial vertical adjustment, we provide a flexible plastic spacer 7 with circular openings extending through the spacer between the leg adjuster and the upper thigh support pad. The flexible plastic spacer 7 enables an initial adhesion between the hook and nap material through openings in the flexible plastic spacer 7.

A hip orthosis for a leg of a user including a hip shell removably attached to a flexible waistband by one or more flexible straps, the hip shell being configured to flex when tightened. A first push button for hip adjustment of abduction and adduction is between the hip shell and a hip hinge assembly having a push button release of locking pins for setting flexion and extension movement of the leg. A second push button is positioned below the first push button and the hinge assembly for hip adjustment of abduction and adduction between the hip hinge assembly and a thigh support unit which is attached to a leg adjuster extended downward from the hip hinge assembly.
