A wearable rehabilitation and relaxation sleeve aid is described that provides support and therapeutic benefits to an injured area. The wearable sleeve aid includes a first inner protective layer and an outer protective layer that form a pocket area between them. A removable pack may be inserted in the pocket area. The removable pack may be cooled or heated to bring the removable pack to the desired temperature. The wearable sleeve aid further provides compression to the targeted recovery area of a user's body to reduce swelling and pain.

A wearable therapy system comprises a therapy pack, a therapy pack holder including a body and a first fastener system, the body being configured to removably receive the therapy pack, and a therapy garment configured to be worn by a user and comprising at least one attachment area including a second fastener system. The therapy pack holder is removably attachable to the attachment area in a plurality of positions with the first fastener system engaging the second fastener system to secure the therapy pack in relation to the therapy garment. The system of the present disclosure can also include one or more compression sleeves and/or therapeutic wraps configured to be worn by the user that comprise fastener systems configured to removably accept one or more of the therapy packs, pads, and holders in a plurality of positions relative to the one or more compression sleeves.

An equine therapy boot that has an insulating shaft that can be securely fastened at multiple locations on an equine leg and hold a volume of therapeutic media to treat the equine hoof and leg is disclosed herein. The equine therapy boot includes a sole member, an internal securing mechanism, and an insulating shaft configured to retain therapeutic media. Advantageously, this equine therapy boot secures the horse's hoof to the sole member such that the insulating shaft is not displaced from the horse's hoof and leg during the treatment period. Also disclosed herein are methods of treating a diseased or injured horse's hoof and leg with the disclosed equine therapy boot.

A protective covering for an immobilization device to be worn over a patient's lower extremity. The covering protects the immobilization device and underlying extremity from outside dirt, debris, and contagions, with the intention of achieving an overall improved healing rate. In various disclosed embodiments, this protective covering is either semi-permeable or impermeable to water, and includes any of a non-slip sole, pockets for holding ice packs with therapeutic effect, and a rechargeable battery.

A cold block for cooling an extremity comprises a container defining an internal chamber. A recess is defined in the container. The recess is surrounded, in part, by the internal chamber. The recess is configured to receive an extremity of a person. In use, in one example, the internal chamber of the cold block is filled with fluid, such as water, and frozen. In another example the internal chamber contains a gel that may be cooled or frozen. A patient undergoing chemotherapy may place a respective extremity in one or more cold blocks to decrease neuropathy.

A heating device includes: a temperature change unit that changes a temperature of a temperature change area; an induction unit that applies a stimulus to an induction area; and a controller, wherein the induction area is an area on skin surface, or an area that occupies a space that can be perspectively projected on the skin surface, the induction area is an area that does not overlap with the temperature change area, the induction unit applies at least one of a tactile stimulus and a visual stimulus to the induction area, the controller executes a first control for changing a temperature of a first temperature change area of the temperature change area and a second control for applying a stimulus to a first induction area of the induction area, and the second control is performed in accordance with the first control.

A seating assembly for athletes includes seats having a back and seat portion, a base, an adjustable element, a user interface device, and a controller. The back portion includes a back heating member that provides heat to a user's torso. The seat portion includes a lower limb heating member that provides heat to the user's lower limbs. The base supports each seat. The adjustable element is coupled to the base and one of the seats and adjusts height of the seat. The user interface device receives an input regarding a desired temperature of the back heating member and the lower limb heating member. The controller receives the input and adjusts an operation of the back heating member and the lower limb heating member to achieve the desired temperature. The user interface device receives a second input to adjust the a height of the seat relative to the floor surface.

Systems for maintaining normothermia in a patient via compression and warming are disclosed and include a first warming element configured to apply warming to the popliteal fossa, a second warming element configured to apply warming to the sole of the foot, and a compression element configured to apply compression to the calf.

A method, apparatus and a system for thermally-assisted pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation for treatment of osteoarthritis in the knee are disclosed. A multi-coil applicator is adapted for positioning around the knee. A first coil is positioned on the top of the knee and provides electric field stimulation in the plane of the patella to stimulate the patella cartilage. Second and third coils are rectangular coils wrapped up below and above the knee respectively. The coils in the wrapped position generate a magnetic field along the knee axis and provide high amplitude of the electric field stimulation of the femoral and tibial cartilages in the plane of tibial plateau. Resistive heaters and free wheel diodes can be provided to the applicator to supply uniform thermal stimulation around the knee joint.

Methods and systems for providing distributed vibration therapy. The vibration device includes a plurality of vibration motors that are located along a grid. The vibration motors are embedded on a basal pad. A primary diffuser overlays the embedded the vibration motors. The device is portable and can be adaptable to a target body part.
