The application provides for a vibrating foot massager that resembles a common shoe. This vibrating foot massager has a number of vibrating motors which can be placed in a variety of combinations within the sole of the shoe. Preferably, the vibrating foot massager will be equipped with a power source so the entire device will be portable. This will enable a user to enjoy the benefits of receiving a foot massage while on the go. The vibrating foot massager is also equipped with a power switch such that when the motors are not in use, the device operates as a functional shoe.

The invention relates to a system for adjusting pressure locally acting on the skin. Said system includes a set of adjacent modules distributed so as to form a layer. Each module includes a cushion capable of changing shape and comprising a cavity, a valve, a tank, and a pressure sensor, wherein the cavity and the tank are in communication with each other by means of the valve, and the sensor is placed so as to sense pressure directly or indirectly acting on the cushion. The system also includes a feedback loop arranged such as to increase or decrease the change in the shape of the cushion on the basis of the pressure detected by the sensor. The system according to the invention can be built into a shoe so as to re-establish normal plantar pressure under the entire sole of the foot, which is particularly desirable for athletes or for patients suffering from diabetes mellitus or leprosy. It is also possible to incorporate the system according to the invention into a (bed or wheelchair) mattress so as to prevent decubitus ulcers in patients with neurological diseases (hemiplegia, paraplegia, tetraplegia, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and any other sensory and/or motor deficit diseases.

A jet pump has an impeller with a magnet that can be rotated by a shaft having a magnetic drive plate and wherein the impeller and the magnetic drive plate are separated from one another by at least one solid wall surface. The impeller can be located in a pump housing having a base and a cover. The base can have a surface bearing so that the impeller can contact therewith and rotated against the surface of the surface bearing.

A massage machine includes a main body that includes a treatment portion configured to perform treatment with respect to a user; a detecting portion configured to detect a running state of a component of the main body and to obtain running state data; a storage portion configured to store the running state data; and a control unit configured to control an operation of the main body. The control unit includes: a determining portion configured to determine presence or absence of an abnormality related to the main body; and an abnormality outputting portion configured to output an information related to the abnormality and the running state data when the abnormality determining portion determines that the abnormality is present.

A knee joint mechanism without a power source is provided. The knee joint mechanism includes a thigh support assembly, a connecting base, a shank support assembly and a locking mechanism. The thigh support assembly is fixed at a thigh of an exoskeleton robot, a first angle sensor is disposed on a hip, and power is provided from the hip. The connecting base is mounted with a second angle sensor; the locking mechanism includes a motor, a worm gear, a locking member, an unlocking member, and a first limiting member. The unlocking member and the first limiting member firmly fix the locking member to maintain the thigh support assembly, the connecting base and the shank support assembly at an ergonomic angle; the motor drives the unlocking member to rotate through the worm gear to realize unlocking, and the second angle sensor controls the unlocking member to lock the locking block.

A pneumatic compression assembly that includes a sleeve having an outer layer and an inner layer that defines a sleeve interior configured to receive a body part of a user, and at least a first vibration assembly configured to provide vibration to the body part of the user. A plurality of inflatable compartments are arranged longitudinally along the sleeve between the inner layer and the outer layer. The first vibration assembly includes a plurality of vibration motors positioned between the inner layer and the outer layer of the sleeve.

An inversion chair and the method of treatment are provided to assist a user in the treatment and prevention of migraine headaches by increasing and altering the blood flow within the head. The inversion chair includes a frame having a first and a second side connected to each other by a fixed backrest. The sides of the frame have L-shaped configurations comprising upstanding side and base sections that are connected by a curved member. A rotatable seat is positioned between the sides of the frame. The chair is adapted to transition between a standard sitting position to an inverted position. The chair comprises an upper user support bar and a lower leg support bar for maintaining a user within the chair during inverted use. The support bar is removable and used to either secure the lap of the individual when inverted, or support the chair when in an upright state.

A lift transfer device for disabled people includes a wheeled chassis having a column with a bottom end attached to the chassis and a top end including an arm rest. A winch is provided that is supported by the chassis and/or the column. The winch includes a tow rope having a distal end and a hook disposed at the distal end of the tow rope. The tow rope runs through one or more guide rings disposed on the column and the arm rest. A harness is provided that is worn by a user of the lift transfer device. The hook on the tow rope may be connected to a pulling loop on the harness, the winch facilitates a lifting of the user as the tow rope is retracted by the winch and a lowering of the user as the tow rope is paidout by the winch.

A support device comprises a first band secured to a second band in a cross pattern. A proximal end of the first band and a proximal end of the second band can also be configured to fasten around a waist of a user. Further, a distal end of the first band can be configured to fasten around a first leg of the user, and a distal end of the second band can be configured to fasten around a second leg of the user. The support device may prevent improper and dangerous misalignment of the back, hips and knees while squatting.
