A cervical traction assembly for use with a patient support apparatus includes an adjustment carriage track member including a connecting bracket assembly that releasably connects to a mount support member of the patient support apparatus. The adjustment track member includes a track body including a pair of opposing sidewalls that are spaced-apart from each other to define an elongated channel therebetween. Each sidewall includes a guide track that extends along a length of the respective sidewall. A rope angle adjustment carriage is located within the channel. The rope angle adjustment carriage includes a first track engagement member that is received by one of the guide tracks of one of the sidewalls and a second track engagement member that is received by another of the guide tracks of another of the sidewalls. The first track engagement member has a locked configuration that inhibits movement of the rope angle adjustment carriage.

An inflatable neck traction device includes a supporting portion and a bearing portion. The height of the top surface of the bearing portion is lower than that of the supporting portion. The supporting portion has a neck support body and two shoulder abutting bodies, and can be provided therein with a first airbag and two second airbags. An inflation device can be connected to the airbags. When a user rests on the device in a supine position, the top surface of the neck support body supports the neck, and the shoulder abutting bodies abut against the shoulders. The inflation device inflates or deflates the airbags to displace the neck support body along a first axis and the shoulder abutting bodies along a second axis to change the force exerted by the neck support body and shoulder abutting bodies on the neck and shoulders to achieve cervical traction effects.

An adjustable inflatable neck support device includes a supporting portion and a bearing portion whose height is smaller than that of the supporting portion. The supporting portion has a center support body and can be provided therein with a first inflatable airbag. Two second inflatable airbags can be provided in the neck support device. An inflation device can be connected to the airbags. When a user rests on the neck support device in a supine position or on the side of the head, the top surface thereof can be adjusted to support the neck. The inflation device inflates or deflates the airbags to displace the top surface of the neck support device to change the force exerted on the neck by the center support body and/or areas of the top surface of the neck support device that correspond in position to the airbags to restore and maintain head/spine alignment.

An exercise and stretching device is shown and described. The exercise and stretching device includes a connection cable located through a rigid tube. The rigid tube has a curvature. There are connectors at each end of the connection cable. The connectors are connected to resistance bars. The resistance bars have an aperture located at each end of the bar, wherein an aperture of each bar accepts the connectors. A handle is connected to the aperture opposite the connector.

Disclosed embodiments provide a neck pillow with storage capability. In embodiments, the neck pillow can open to reveal internal compartments, suitable for storage of small personal items. In this way, the neck pillow can also serve as a carrying mechanism as well as functioning as a traditional neck pillow. In this way, one can carry the neck pillow and personal items conveniently. This makes neck pillows of disclosed embodiments convenient for a variety of activities such as relaxing at the beach, concerts, movies, sporting events, and anywhere else where sitting for prolonged periods may occur. Further, the neck pillow may have a pocket to receive a heating and/or cooling pack to be used in conjunction with an individual who has suffered a head or neck injury. Here, the neck pillow may be utilized to promote proper body alignment and provide therapeutic relief.

A cervical traction device, including: a base unit (3), a traction unit (1), a supporting unit (2), and at least one driving member (6). The traction unit (1) is rotatably mounted on the base unit (3); the supporting unit (2) is connected to the base unit (3), and the supporting unit (2) is arranged opposite the traction unit (1); and the driving member (6) is used for driving the traction unit (1) to rotate, such that the traction unit (1) is turned to or moves away from the supporting unit (2). The cervical traction device can allow a user to perform cervical traction by himself/herself, and is convenient to use.

A training apparatus is disclosed, comprising: a top structure, a bottom structure, and a traction structure disposed between the top structure and the bottom structure, and wherein the traction structure is configured to be retractable along an axial direction of the top or bottom structure to achieve relative movement between the top structure and the bottom structure.

A body stretcher includes a floor-standing frame, wherein a horizontal plate is connected to an upper surface, with a sleeve tube, pulleys are mounted on a headrest, one end of the movable rod is connected with a foot hook frame, an end, inserted into the sleeve tube, of the movable rod is connected with a rack, an elastic rope winds across the pulleys to be connected with a head protector; a support is arranged on the outer side of the sleeve tube, one end of a manual swing rod is hinged to the support, an active pawl is hinged to the manual swing rod, one end of the active pawl is matched with a toothed groove of the gear, a check pawl is hinged to the support, and a compression spring drives one end of the check pawl to be matched with the toothed groove of the gear.

An inversion table that incorporates additional therapies, such as massage, traction, and heat. Therapeutic elements of the inversion table may be programmable, so that settings are cycled automatically through preprogrammed patterns. The table may have one or more back massage elements that travel along tracks in the table to massage different portions of the back, and similar neck massage elements that massage different portions of the neck. Traction actuators may apply traction forces to the head and the legs. One or more heating pads may apply heat to any portion of the body. Settings for the therapeutic elements may be controlled by a processor that may execute stored therapy programs, or may respond to user input from a controller or a smartphone.

Wearable assistance devices and methods of operating and using the same are provided. A wearable assistance device includes a first body interface and a second body interface. The assistance device also includes one or more elastic members operatively coupling the first body interface to the second body interface and extending along a body segment (e.g., back, elbow, knee, etc.) of the user so as to provide an assistive force to or assistive torque about the body segment or another body segment. The assistance device further includes a clutch mechanism operatively connected to at least one of the one or more elastic members, the clutch mechanism configured to selectively adjust the assistive force or assistive torque provided by the one or more elastic members to/about the body segment or the another body segment.
