An elevation device used in the performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) includes a base and an upper support pivotably coupled to the base. The upper support is configured to elevate the individual's upper back, shoulders and head when pivoted. The upper support is expandable lengthwise. The upper support includes a neck support that is configured to support the individual's spine in a region of the individual's C7 and C8 vertebrae throughout elevation of the upper back, shoulders and head.

A bath massage chair includes a pillow, a back support configured to support a torso of the user when the user is seated in the bath massage chair, and a seat coupled to the lower portion of the back support. The pillow includes a pillow massage system and a pillow heating element configured to heat the pillow. The back support includes an upper portion coupled to the pillow and a lower portion opposite the upper portion, a back massage system configured to massage the torso of the user, and a back heating element configured to heat the back support. The seat is configured to support a lower body of the user when the user is seated in the bath massage chair. The pillow massage system, pillow heating element, back massage system, and back heating element are operably coupled to a controller.

A therapeutic device for treating one or more conditions associated with a user's nasal cavities, sinuses, and/or ear canals includes a housing having an opening, an acoustic vibrator within the housing that is operable to provide an acoustic vibration to the user, a fan within the housing that is operable to provide a pressure to the user and a power supply that provides power to the acoustic vibrator and the fan. A mask is connected to the housing at the opening and includes a nasal interface appliable around the nose of the user, a nasal chamber in which the user's nostrils are located and an aperture through which the fan delivers the pressure.

In various embodiments, a head-mounted apparatus having first and second display screens for, respectively, displaying visual content dichoptically to left and right eyes of a user is utilized to treat, improve, or prevent degradation of the user's vision.

The present invention is a method and device for inducing or promoting a meditative state.

Method for assessing and preferably ameliorating the symptoms of a medical condition, optionally lymphedema, comprising obtaining a preferably both electrically powered and portable treatment apparatus capable of contacting, via a treatment head, a target area on the skin of a patient and introducing low-pressure suction thereto, wherein the apparatus, preferably the treatment head thereof, contains at least one sensor element to measure at least one physiological characteristic regarding the tissue underlying the target area of the patient, preferably indicative of fluid content thereof, and applying the treatment apparatus to the patient to measure said at least one physiological characteristic. A treatment apparatus for executing the method is presented.

A cervical traction device is provided. A frame presents an anterior support under the maxilla of a user, while a posterior support is applied to the lower portion of the occiput of the user. Thus, pressure is avoided on the potentially unstable mandible, and the lower and upper teeth are not compressed against one another. A series of suspension points on the frame allows the angle at which traction may be applied to the cervical vertebrae to be varied.

A therapeutic vibrational system for treating such conditions as hypertension may have a plurality of vibrating patches; each including a vibrating motor with an adhesive for application to a person's skin permitting the plurality of vibrating patches to be placed in two or more locations on the person's skin, as well as a controller with a user interface and configured to provide control instructions to the plurality of vibrating patches.

A system or method for motor rehabilitation of a paretic limb including: a first plurality of sensors for registering brain neurosignals; a body-actuator; a hybrid brain machine interface for decoding brain neurosignals into movements of the body-actuator; a second plurality of EMG sensors couplable to the paretic limb for registering its EMG activity; a device for providing the patient with instructions relative to a series of exercises and/or tasks to be carried out with the paretic limb;
wherein upon carrying out a series of training sessions, each session comprising at least a set of such instructions, the hybrid brain machine interface is configured to switch between controlling the movements of the body-actuator based on the decoded brain neurosignals and a hybrid control of the movements of the body-actuator, when a significant level of decodable EMG activity has been registered, the hybrid control being an EMG-gated brain control.

An intelligent intraocular and extraocular muscle sensitivity exercise training instrument which is disposed with an ocular head (1) consisting of a front shell (11), a middle shell (12) and a back shell (13), and a control device (2) electrically connected to the ocular head (1), as well as an intraocular muscle exercise bar (3) electrically connected to the control device (2). The beneficial effects are as below: in addition to supplementing the field of portable intraocular and extraocular muscle training instruments, it is also convenient for students to put it in their school bags for use at any time thanks to its intelligent operations and foldable structure, it overcomes the shortcomings of the above-mentioned pure extraocular and intraocular muscle sensitivity training instruments. Therefore, it is bound to have a profound effect on myopia control, dyslexia remediation, eye healthcare, and memory improvement among teenagers.
