The systems, methods, apparatuses, and articles disclosed herein provide a new approach to treatment symptoms, such as proprioceptive dysfunction and vestibular disorders, which may be caused by certain types of human ailments. According to the present disclosure, a wearable article may include one or more limb sections and a resilient member may be provided along a length of each of the one or more limb sections and configured to generate a resistance force. Adjustments to the resistance force provided by the resilient member(s) may be adjusted using cord locks. As a user wearing the wearable article moves, the resistance force is applied to the user's limbs. Strain gauges may be provided to measure the resistance force(s), which enables verification that the resilient members are sized and configured to provide an appropriate amount of resistance force to a user and may improve programs and regimens designed to treat such ailments.

A garment that can be used to enhance the safety of injured or convalescing people. The garment includes indicia which indicates that a person is either injured or convalescing. The indicia is positioned on the garment so as to overlay the affected or injured area of the user's body.

An integrated tourniquet system is provided that, in some embodiments, provides for a specially designed pocket integrated within a garment or flotation device wherein the pocket is configured to removably retain a one-handed tourniquet having, in some embodiments, a windlass system.

Technical garments including joint stabilization socks, sleeves, and other garments are disclosed. The exemplary garments disclosed herein include regions with material properties, such as tensile strengths, that are different from other regions of the garment. Particular regions of the exemplary garments include interwoven materials with substantially high tensile strengths for providing resistance/compression to targeted body parts (e.g., ankles, knees, shoulders, etc.) for preventing undesirable movement (e.g., that mimics medically-relevant taping patterns). In particular embodiments, the regions with higher tensile strengths are interwoven or integrated into a base material, such that the garment can be comfortably worn while also providing compression and support to targeted body parts.

A method is provided for designing a garment having a plurality of surfaces. The method includes selecting at least one surface from the plurality of surfaces to serve as a tactile stimulating surface. The method further includes selecting a texture for the at least one surface, different from that of at least a majority of the plurality of surfaces, configured to provide tactile stimulation to a touch sensing organ.

An object is to provide a pharmaceutical preparation for preventing or treating allergic conjunctivitis which is to be administered to the intranasal mucosa. Provided is a pharmaceutical preparation for preventing or treating allergic conjunctivitis which is to be administered to the intranasal mucosa, the pharmaceutical preparation including a composite particle containing one or more titanium oxide particles, one or more metal particles, and one or more calcium phosphate particles. Also provided is a medical device for preventing or treating allergic conjunctivitis, the medical device including an breathable mask portion covering the nasal cavity of a subject in need of prevention or treatment of allergic conjunctivitis, ear loop portions provided on the breathable mask portion, and a composite particle releasably attached to the breathable mask portion, the composite particle containing one or more titanium oxide particles, one or more metal particles, and one or more calcium phosphate particles.

A gird compression garment designed to provide compressive support extending throughout the cervical and thoracic portions of the wearer's spine so as to help relieve pain and to help promote healing from muscular/skeletal ailments and injuries. This gird compression garment is constructed of a resiliently flexible and stretchable material and includes a cervical collar that extends to the base of the skull of a wearer and a fastening device adapted to vary the amount of compressive force exerted by the garment.

Braces for immobilizing clavicle fractures in infants may include a garment of fabric sized and shaped to extend around a torso and along at least one arm of an infant. The garment may include a first closure configured to secure the garment around the torso of the infant, a second closure configured to secure the garment over a shoulder corresponding to a fractured clavicle of the infant, and a sleeve configured to extend around an upper and lower arm of the infant on a same lateral side of the garment as the second closure. The sleeve may include at least a third closure configured to secure the sleeve around the upper and lower arm of the infant. A portion of the sleeve may be affixed to a portion of the garment, the portion of the garment to which the sleeve may be affixed being located over the torso of the infant when the garment is secured around the torso of the infant.
