A compression device for freeing a ring trapped on a digit includes a rigid outer body. The rigid outer body includes a digit cavity extending from a cavity opening at a body proximal end of the body towards a body distal end of the body, a fluid inlet, and a fluid flow path fluidly connecting the fluid inlet to one or more inflation chambers positioned in the digit cavity. The body proximal end includes an upper portion, a lower portion, and two laterally spaced-apart side portions. At least one side portion is distally recessed as compared to the upper and lower portions to accommodate an interdigital fold. At least one flexible bladder lines the digit cavity, each flexible bladder defining at least one wall of one of the one or more inflation chambers.

The invention relates to a device (V) for dry water-jet massage, comprising: a tub (W), which is filled with massage water and runs from a head end to a foot end in the longitudinal direction and from a left side to a right side in the transverse direction, having a film material (F) as a cover closing the tub (W) water-tight on the top side, which film material is simultaneously used as a lying surface for a person (Pe) to be treated and allows the transmission of pressure pulses; a nozzle cart (1), which can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the tub (W) and bears at least two nozzles (D, D′, D″), which nozzles (D, D′, D″) can be fed with massage water from the tub (W) by means of a pump (P) in order to eject one water jet per nozzle against the bottom side of the film material (F); a first drive (3) for the forward and backward movement of the nozzle cart (1) in the longitudinal direction of the tub (W), the at least two nozzles (D, D′) moving forward and backward in the longitudinal direction of the tub (W) with the movement of the nozzle cart (1); and a second drive (5, ZR, Z), which moves the nozzles (D, D′) in the transverse direction of the tub (W). A device by means of which regions of the body of the person that are at a distance from the plane of the film can also be treated is achieved in that the film material (F) has one or more cavities on the bottom side of the film, which run in the transverse direction, are directed at the person (PE) lying on the film material (M) and shape the film (F) into one or more elevated portions (100), which are convex on the top side of the film.

A back massaging assembly for realigning vertebrae of a user includes a pad, which is positioned on an upper face of a bench. A roller module is positioned in a void that is positioned in the pad. The roller module comprises a rotatable cylinder, which extends substantially between opposed edges of the void. An upper limit of the rotatable cylinder extends past an upper surface of the pad. An actuator is operationally engaged to the roller module and is positioned to cycle the rotatable cylinder between a first edge and a second edge of the void, thereby massaging a back of a user who is lying supinely on the pad.

A massage device for a seat, in particular for a vehicle seat, is provided. The massage device includes at least one air cushion. The at least one air cushion has an air inlet so as to allow individual filling thereof with air via an air supply system. A vibration generating device is arranged between the air supply system and the air cushion and is in fluid communication with the air cushion so as to apply pressure vibrations to the air cushion. In addition, a seat including the massage device is also provided.

Disclosed are a sexual massage apparatus, an engine assembly, and a massage machine. The sexual massage apparatus includes: an engine assembly, including an outer shell and a first driving unit, wherein the outer shell has a hollow cavity defined therein, and the first driving unit is arranged in the hollow cavity; a massage machine, capable of being at least partly inserted into the hollow cavity of the engine assembly and being separated from the engine assembly, wherein the massage machine includes a first sexual stimulation unit, when the massage machine is at least partly inserted into the hollow cavity, the first sexual stimulation unit is controlled by the first driving unit, to apply a first sexual stimulation for a human body part, and the first sexual stimulation is a compression sexual stimulation generated along a radial direction for the human body part.

There is provided a technique by which posture changing can be given to an occupant while the forward shift of his/her hip portion is prevented. A seat for vehicle includes a seat cushion, and a seat back coupled to the seat cushion, and the seat back includes a posture changing mechanism having a back face supporting mechanism. There is provided a technique by which a fatigue reduction operation using the posture changing mechanism includes a) moving the back face supporting mechanism set to a position of a lumbar spine portion of an occupant from a first position state to a rear direction side and setting the back face supporting mechanism to a second position state, and b) thereafter, moving the back face supporting mechanism stepwise to a front direction side from the second position state to the first position state.

A wearable passive exoskeleton device for sit-to-stand and/or stand-to-sit transfer includes a leg exoskeleton frame configured to be worn at a user's leg and a lever arm rotatably coupled to the leg exoskeleton frame so as to provide a handle for the user to move between a sitting position and a standing position (or between a kneeling position and a standing position). The lever arm is rotatable with respect to the leg exoskeleton frame between a stowed position and a deployed position. The lever arm may be a unidirectional lever arm configured to rotate only in a first rotational direction with respect to the leg exoskeleton frame such that a pushing or pulling force exerted in a second rotational direction transmits an assisting force to the user to assist in a sit-to-stand and/or stand-to-sit movement.

The dry-immersion bed of the present invention is suitable for intensive care units (ICUs) and fulfills the function of providing treatment for diseases such as capillary leak syndrome. The dry immersion bed fulfills the function of recovering cardiovascular physiology by normalizing the systemic distribution of water, albumin and electrolytes, and improving lymphatic drainage, venous return, cardiac output, cell metabolism and immunity.

Described herein are methods, devices and systems for respiratory therapy delivered by a therapy vest. A therapy vest is provided in which an independent body fitting function is provided by use of a body fit layer or compartment(s). The body fit layer or compartment(s) may be controlled independently from the therapy layer or compartment(s), such that the fit of the therapy vest is placed on more equal footing with the therapy delivering components of the therapy vest. Other examples are disclosed and claimed.

The present invention relates to an automated stimulation device for inducing a tactile inter-stimulus onset asynchrony (ISOA) effect in a subject suffering from apnea, bradycardia and/or hypoxia, the device comprising at least two actuators configured for contacting a body portion of the subject, and interspaced for producing an apparent tactile movement in the subject upon sequential induction of actuation, wherein the duration of the actuations and the overlap in actuation time between the at least two actuators is controlled to attain an inter stimulus onset asynchrony (ISOA).
