MASSAGE APPLIANCE HAVING FLOATING MOTOR AND VIBRATION PLATE FOR VIBRATION ISOLATION
20230000718 · 2023-01-05 · ·

A vibration appliance includes a vibration-isolation structure which substantially reduces vibration felt by the user at the handle. The vibration motor is mounted to a vibration plate which carries the massage node. The vibration plate floats within the vibration appliance housing, being suspended by a flexible, elastomer membrane having contours such as curves or folds in it that provide freedom of movement of the vibration plate relative to the housing to which the flexible membrane is mounted. This arrangement can be thought of as the motor and vibration node being mounted on a flexible diaphragm that can move freely as if mounted to the housing by a bellows-like arrangement.

A MASSAGE ATTACHMENT FOR USE WITH AN ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH
20230000717 · 2023-01-05 · ·

A massage accessory for use with an electric toothbrush has a body and a coupling mechanism. The electric toothbrush has a body, and a shaft configured to generate an oscillating movement. The coupling mechanism is configured to couple the massage accessory to the shaft of the electric toothbrush. The body of the accessory has a base at a proximal end of the body, a head at or near a distal end of the body, and a flexible region between the base and the head. The base, the head, and the flexible region are arranged such that the head is configured to move in response to the oscillating movement of the shaft and the base remains relatively stationary compared to the body of the electric toothbrush. A massage accessory for use with an electric toothbrush has a transfer shaft with a driving feature, and a coupling mechanism configured to couple the massage accessory to the shaft of the electric toothbrush. The accessory has a head having a driving feature that is complementary to the driving feature of the transfer shaft. A space is provided between the driving feature of the transfer shaft and the driving feature of the head when the transfer shaft and head are engaged such that oscillating movement of the transfer shaft causes a corresponding oscillating movement of the head and additionally causes vibration of the head.

FACE WORKOUT AND REJUVENATOR WAND
20230233402 · 2023-07-27 ·

A hand-held device with a paddle, an arm and a handle. Using the handle and arm, the paddle is slapped/tapped against the face to, in effect, provide a workout for an individual's facial skin and facial muscles. One purpose of a workout for the facial muscles is to tighten the facial muscles by inducing/stimulating the production of new and healthy collagen, improve skin firmness and texture, and blood circulation. The skin's cells need good circulation to heal and produce collagen. The slapping/tapping of the face creates a superficial trauma to the skin and muscles which tricks the body into producing high levels of collagen to assist in the healing process without causing any actual damage to the skin.

Oral rehabilitation device and medical treatment system therewith

An oral rehabilitation device for rehabilitating the oral cavity of a user includes a device body, a first activating member, an upper-jaw member, a lower-jaw member, and a processing unit. The first activating member is disposed on an end of the device body. The upper-jaw member and the lower-jaw member are connected to the same end of the device body and are for contacting an upper jaw and lower jaw of the user, respectively. The processing unit is coupled to the first activating member and is used to control the first activating member to drive one of the upper-jaw member and the lower jaw member to open or close relative to the other of the upper-jaw member and the lower-jaw member, such that the upper jaw and the lower jaw can be rehabilitated. The present invention further discloses a medical treatment system to which the oral rehabilitation device is linked.

Illuminated walking assistance apparatus
11712093 · 2023-08-01 ·

An illuminated walking assistance apparatus is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the apparatus provides an elongated staff having a ground-engaging tip portion at a first end and a handle at an opposing second end. The staff provides a light pipe positioned proximal the tip portion and having a light-emitting member disposed therein to selectively illuminate the ground proximal the tip portion. The staff further provides a red nightlight which is always on so as to facilitate locating the apparatus in a dark environment.

Percussive therapy device with electrically connected attachment

A percussive therapy system includes a percussive therapy device that includes a housing, an electrical source, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, a push rod assembly operatively connected to the motor and configured to reciprocate in response to activation of the motor, and an attachment configured to be operatively connected to a distal end of the push rod assembly of the percussive massage device and to provide at least one therapeutic effect to a user. The attachment may include at least one of an actuator configured to provide the at least one therapeutic effect to the user and a sensor configured to obtain at least one of biometric data of the user and information regarding operation of the percussive therapy device.

Method for treating erectile and sexual dysfunction with dual extracorporeal shockwave therapy
11564861 · 2023-01-31 ·

A medical procedure for treating human male and female patients suffering from erectile or sexual dysfunction, respectively, with extracorporeal dual shockwave therapy applied to strategic, gender-specific anatomical regions to improve sexual function. Some or all of the gender-specific anatomical regions may be anesthetized using a topical or local anesthetic, and both radial and focused extracorporeal shockwaves are applied to the anatomical regions at predetermined bar values, frequencies, and number of shockwave pulses, based on the severity of the sexual dysfunction. Radial and focused extracorporeal shockwaves may be used in additional to convention methods of treating both erectile and sexual dysfunction.

TREMOR STABILISATION APPARATUS

A tremor stabilization apparatus, for example for helping to stabilize tremors of user with Parkinson's Disease or Essential Tremor. The tremor stabilization apparatus has a housing that is attachable to a part of a user's body and a rotatable flywheel assembly mounted to the housing. The rotatable flywheel assembly includes a rotatable flywheel, a prime mover arranged to rotate the flywheel about a flywheel rotation axis, and a gimbal to which the flywheel is attached. The gimbal is pivotally mounted to the housing at a hinge formed between the gimbal and the housing and defining a precession axis such that the flywheel can precess with respect to the housing about the precession axis. The precession axis is fixed relative to the housing. The tremor stabilization apparatus further includes a biasing member arranged to oppose precession of the rotatable flywheel assembly and urge the rotatable flywheel assembly to an equilibrium position.
