The back massaging device is intended to provide users with a vest that includes massaging units inbuilt within the vest. More specifically, it is an aim of the device to provide an inbuilt massaging unit with massaging arms that can travel from the shoulders to the lower back of the user. To accomplish this, the device includes two massaging units that can traverse J-shaped tracks inbuilt within the vest. In other words, the back massaging vest allows for a portable massaging device for users on the go or want to do other activities while having the comfort of a massage. The massaging arms in particular traverse a track that allow full coverage of the user's back. Further, the massaging device may be wirelessly controlled with a remote control or a wireless communication device.

Compression garments and methods may include a head garment configured to be positioned around both sides of a head of a body from a posterior of the head to an anterior of the head and a torso garment. Such garment portions may include one or more controllable pressure applying regions to move lymph from the head downward to the torso.

The present invention relates to a medical treatment device for stimulating neurons of a patient. The device comprises a first non-invasive stimulating device for generating at least two different first stimuli to a patient's body, a second non-invasive stimulating device for generating at least two different second stimuli to the patient's body, and a control unit for selectively and intermittently actuating the stimulating devices. In a first operating mode, the control unit is configured to actuate the first stimulating device in a sequence of successive actuating periods such that a number n of first stimuli to be generated simultaneously during the actuating periods is variedly determined across the sequence and to actuate the second stimulating device so as to generate the second stimuli to be paired to the generation of at least a part of the first stimuli. In a second operating mode, the control unit is configured to actuate the second stimulating device so as to generate the second stimuli to be de-coupled from the generation of at least a part of the first stimuli.

A wearable assistive device is suggested comprising a force transmitting interconnection arrangement interconnecting in use a left limb of a user with a right limb of a user in a force transmitting manner; and a deflection arrangement guiding in use the force transmitting member along a path close to the body of a user, the path having a length dependent on the posture of the user; wherein the deflection arrangement comprises at least one elastic element engaging at one end thereof the force transmitting interconnection in between the left limb and the right limb in a manner deflecting the force transmitting interconnection from a straight line by an amount dependent on the excursion of the elastic element.

An example of an automated external defibrillator (AED) includes a housing including a lid, printed graphical instructions indicating sequential steps for treatment of a patient with the AED, a speaker configured to provide audible messages associated at least in part with the printed graphical instructions, and defibrillation electrodes stored under the lid and configured for application during the treatment of the patient according to steps including a step of peeling a left electrode pad from a liner of the left electrode pad, a step of applying the left electrode pad to the patient, a step of peeling a right electrode pad from a liner of the right electrode pad, and a step of applying the right electrode pad to the patient.

A robotic exoskeleton comprising a back portion providing at least two degrees of freedom, two shoulder portions, each shoulder portion providing at least five degrees of freedom, two elbow portions, each elbow portion providing at least one degree of freedom, and two forearm portions, each forearm portion providing at least one degree of freedom. Associated robotic forearm joints and robotic shoulder joints are also addressed.

A wearable medical device comprises a garment configured to be worn about a torso of a patient. The wearable medical device further comprises a CPR sensor for detecting a characteristic of a CPR therapy provided to the patient. The CPR sensor is coupled to the garment to provide movement between a stowed position and a deployed position. The CPR sensor is positioned at a center of a chest of the patient when the CPR sensor is in the deployed position. The wearable medical device further comprises an output device. The wearable medical device further comprises a processor configured for processing information from the CPR sensor and providing, to the output device, information about the CPR therapy provided to the patient.

A medical apparatus for standing aid includes a backrest (4) that has at least one side thereof provided with a crank rocker mechanism that includes a crank mechanism (1), a triangle linkage mechanism (2), and a rocker mechanism (3), the crank mechanism (1) is rotatably connected to the triangle linkage mechanism (2) such that an included angle between a second driven link (BE) of the triangle linkage mechanism (2) and the crank mechanism (1) is always smaller than 90°, and the crank mechanism (1) driving the triangle linkage mechanism (2), the rocker mechanism (3) and the backrest (4) connected to the triangle linkage mechanism to perform interactive movement repeatedly along a predetermined curve trajectory in response to a driving force from a drive effect of a driving unit (100), so that the backrest (4) connected to the second driven link (BE) assists a trainee in standing up repeatedly by obliquely supporting the trainee's waist.

A self-operated apparatus particularly adapted for massaging a user's wrist and forearm affected by repetitive strain injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome comprises two clamping arms hingedly joined at one end and provided with cooperating handles at the other ends. Rollers and balls are mounted on opposite median sections of the arms. The hinged ends of the arms are universally attached to a support that can be strapped over the user's thigh, whereby an arm can be adjustably clamped between the sets of rollers and balls by bringing the two handles together and the arm and wrist massaged by translating and rotating movements of the arm along an axis perpendicular to the mounting axes of the rollers and balls. Either of the arms may include a release operable between an open position and a closed position. When in the open position, the massaging member is removable from the arm and may be replaced by a different massaging apparatus.

The present soft tissue mobilization device has a quick-release bar clamp and various attachments for its jaws that exert pressure on soft tissue to improve mobility. The bar clamp allows for applying sustained and incremental pressure at various angles. The shape of the attachment surfaces that contact the soft tissue are either complementary toward each other, when they are intended to squeeze the targeted soft tissue between them, or to the body structure against which they are intended to press. Combining a more helpful means of generating and exerting pressure with the right surface contours significantly improves the overall effectiveness of the device, diminishes any associated pain and discomfort, and reduces the time necessary to achieve results.
