A robotic massage machine that includes at least one movable robotic arm having a first end effector, a processor that controls the movable robotic arm, a memory, a first body form having at least a first anatomical calibration point, a preprogrammed initial massage path based on the first body form, and a second body form having at least a first anatomical calibration point located in an analogous anatomical location as the first anatomical calibration point of the first body form. The processor is programmed to morph the initial massage path to calculate a calibrated massage path based on the second body form.

An apparatus for stretching comprises a body holder for connecting to a support device. The body holder includes a body support panel for receiving an upper portion of a torso of a user, a left arm holder for receiving a left arm, and a right arm holder for receiving a right arm, and a body holder closing device. The left arm holder and the right arm holder are pivotally connected to the body support panel. The body support panel can have a curved surface to approximate a part of the torso. The left arm holder can have a flat or curved surface to approximate a left side of the torso and at least a portion of left arm. The right arm holder can have a flat or curved surface to approximate at least a right side of the torso and at least a portion of right arm.

A wraparound portion of compression garments may include a mitt defining a mitt opening. A user may place their hand in the mitt opening of the mitt to assist in donning the compression garments about their body. For example, the wraparound portion of the compression garment may be located in awkward position for a human user to grasp, and the mitt and mitt opening may assist a user in grasping and moving the wraparound portion about their body.

Embodiments described herein include a substantially elongated and curvilinear polycarbonate mechanism with a chin and chest pad that may be releasably or permanently secured to the mechanism using at least a set screw or glue. The polycarbonate mechanism is flexible, durable and allows a user to customize chin elevation and exercise the chin, mouth, and throat to combat dysphagia and improve speech, voice, posture, and jaw alignment. Furthermore, the apparatus may be used with a variety of throat, jaw, and mouth exercises to isolate specific muscle groups and increase rehabilitation efficiency.

The present invention relates to a movement-dependent stabilisation support system (100) for stabilising a moving body (200), which comprises a plurality of sensors (110), a plurality of actuators (120) and a control unit (130). The plurality of sensors (110) continuously detects movement parameters of the body (200), on which basis the control unit (130) determines whether there is an instability of the body (200). If it is determined that there is an instability, the control unit (130) selects a stabilisation strategy, according to which the actuators (120) are controlled. When controlled, the actuators (120) attached to the body (200) stiffen and limit the freedom of movement of the body (200), such that a movement in the direction of the imminent unstable state is prevented or suppressed. In this way, the body (200) is supported in its stabilisation and an imminent fall is prevented.

A brace for retaining an organ in an expanded state configured to adhere and substantially conform to an external surface of the organ includes an inner layer, an outer layer, and at least one sheet of thin malleable material forming a middle layer between the inner layer and outer layer, the at least one sheet being enclosed and configured to rigidify and maintain the organ in an expanded state upon application of a vacuum. The brace can be incorporated into a brassiere.

A method for performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) includes elevating the heart of an individual to a first height relative to a lower body of the individual. The lower body may be in a substantially horizontal plane. The method may also include elevating the head of the individual to a second height relative to the lower body of the individual. The second height may be greater than the first height. The method may further include performing one or more of a type of CPR or a type of intrathoracic pressure regulation while elevating the heart and the head. The first height and the second height may be determined based on one or both of the type of CPR or the type of intrathoracic pressure regulation.

Devices, systems, and methods for high frequency chest wall oscillation pumps can include a pressure cavity, defined by one or more diaphragms, for fluid pressurization to provide pressure oscillation, a drive assembly can be arranged to provide reciprocation to a plunger assembly to move the one or more diaphragms to generate fluid pressure.

A therapeutic device is placed over the breast and improves the quality of breastfeeding experience, aiming to heal and treat specific ailments nursing mothers encounter. The breast care device allows the user to maintain treatment while allowing for mobility during therapy. One aspect of the breast care device is made to contain and distribute therapeutic fluids, which are known to soothe breast pain, nipple cracks, anatomical variations, thrush, bites, milk blister, and other ailments. Another aspect of the breast care device contains an array of light elements for the purpose of light therapy, aiming to soothe the same ailments. The final aspect of the breast care device can contain a variety of electrical components, such as rollers for massage, vibration mechanisms for therapy, or ultrasound for imaging or therapy.

A method for providing information to a user, preferably including: determining environmental information; determining a set of features based on the information; determining output parameters based on the features; and controlling a sensory output system to generate outputs based on the output parameters. A sensory output device, preferably including a plurality of sensory output actuators. A system for providing information to a user, preferably including one or more: sensory output devices, sensors, and computing systems.
