A method of providing sexual stimulation between first and second penises includes the steps of providing a body including first and second openings on a front face, wherein first and second channels extend into the body from the first and second openings, respectively, along first and second longitudinal axes, respectively, that tend toward each other within the body, wherein the first and second channels partially merge to form a chamber; inserting a first penis and a second penis into each of the first and second openings, respectively, such that the penises contact each other within the chamber of the body; and inserting the penises further into the chamber such that the penises move along the respective longitudinal axes and contact the inside surface of the chamber such that an underside of each penis is in contact with the other.

In some embodiments, an exoskeleton device for providing gait/movement assistance to users, and more particularly, methods and apparatuses for attaching such devices to a limb of the users, are presented. In some embodiments, the apparatus may comprise a support, a support holder, and a retaining element for retaining the support secured to the support holder at least when the apparatus is in use. In some embodiments, the attachment of the support to the support holder may be configured so as to allow the support a range of translational and/or rotational degrees of motion.

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 primary object of the present invention is to provide a control method for a massage machine and a massage element of a massage machine which can provide pressing and rubbing kneading to a person to be treated.

A control method for a massage machine contains a controlling process for individually controlling operations of a kneading motor 331 for operating a pair of massage elements 321, 322, width adjustment motors 341, 342 for adjusting a width between the pair of massage elements 321, 322, a strength-and-weakness motor 351 for adjusting strength of the pair of massage elements 321, 322 and an up-and-down motor 361 for adjusting movement of the pair of massage elements 321, 322 in an up-and-down direction.

A movement assistance device includes: a back plate that is fitted onto the back of a wearer; a back frame that has an elongated shape and is supported by a rotating shaft fixed to the back plate so as to be rotatable in a plane parallel to the back plate; a side frame that is rotatably supported by a rotating shaft fixed to the back frame and parallel to the longitudinal direction of the back frame and extends from the back frame toward the vicinity of the side waist of the wearer; a thigh holding portion that is fitted onto the anterior thigh of the wearer; and a drive portion that is connected to each of the side frame and the thigh holding portion and generates force that increases the angle between the side frame and the thigh holding portion.

Method and apparatus for improving mobility in patients affected by a neurodegenerative disease, through controlled and localized mechanical stimulation of the foot, at the tip of the big toe and the lower big toe metatarsal joint. Described herein is an apparatus comprising stimulators for the right and left foot and it attains such mechanical stimulation according to predetermined intensity parameters, stimulation sequence, duration and cyclical repetition. Mobility improvement was observed in particular in patients affected by Parkinson's disease.

A tissue treatment stick is disclosed. In an embodiment, the tissue treatment stick includes a treatment section including a vibration generating device, wherein the vibrating generating device is configured to vibrate the treatment section, and wherein the treatment section has at least one edge, the at least one edge extending parallel to a longitudinal axis of the tissue treatment stick.

A manual ear pump including one or more of a support element configured to releasably engage an external ear canal and having an interior chamber, a resilient element capable of being resiliently deformed coupled to a support element, and an aperture disposed on a support element bottom surface communicating with the external ear canal and interior chamber.

A hand-held, non-penetrating, non-phallic shaped apparatus for clitoral massage and stimulation comprising a massager housing having a generally prolate spheroid shape sized to fit entirely within a user's palm leaving a user's fingers free, generally convex top and bottom, first and second convex ends, a power source; a vibrating source contained within the massager housing providing at least one level of vibration; at least one switch for activating said vibration; a generally elliptical three-dimensional concave depression on a surface of the convex top of one of said convex ends of sufficient length, width, and depth for enveloping and facilitating the stimulation of a woman's clitoris and labia; wherein when in use the apparatus is held by the bottom.

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.
