Myofascial release tools may include a head covering and coupled to a post. The head may be constructed of at least partially of a polymeric material having a therapeutically effective durometer. The head may have a number of designs and configurations that may be used for treating different body parts and/or body tissues. An example head may have a partially concave portion that resembles an indent. Another example head may have an angled tip for more pointed therapy. Yet another example head may have a partially convex portion. These heads may be interchangeably and removably coupled to an oscillating device and used for myofascial release by a health care provider or patient.

UPPER-LIMB REHABILITATION ASSISTING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME

An upper-limb rehabilitation assisting device includes first and second handles coupled to first and second rotating shafts and rotationally operated by hands on a paralytic limb side and a healthy limb side; first and second biosignal detecting parts that detect first and second biosignals corresponding to the paralytic limb side and the healthy limb side; first and second drive parts that drive the first and second rotating shafts; and a control part that performs a cooperative control of the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft. The control part controls the torques of the first and second drive parts at the time of the cooperative control of the first and second rotating shafts the basis of the degree of cooperation between the first and second biosignals.

A beauty instrument capable of imparting a massaging effect to skin. A beauty instrument is configured such that a pair of balls is supported at the tip of a handle. The balls are positioned at a distance from each another, and are capable of rotating around respective axes thereof.

DEVICE FOR TREATING CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH SEBUM PRODUCTION

A device for treating conditions associated with sebum production includes an end effector configured to apply a cycling mechanical strain, to an area of the scalp, of a character and for a duration sufficient to displace sebum.

COVER FOR A CONTACT ZONE
20170281452 · 2017-10-05 ·

A cover for a contact zone between a rotatable surface and a stop, the cover having a top portion and a front portion. The cover may also include a lateral portion and a back portion to further surround the contact zone. An example of a contact zone may be found on an inversion therapy table, such as inversion therapy tables having a pin and slot adjustment mechanism.

09776030 · 2017-10-03 ·

A rebound and balance training device includes a frame, a footboard, and a plurality of resilient spring elements extending between and attached to the frame and the footboard to support the footboard above a supporting surface. A user standing on the footboard manually effects repeated vertical bouncing movement between upper and lower positions. The distance traveled by the footboard, the effort required to effect movement, and the stability thereof may be modified by selectively modifying the number, the length, the position, or the elasticity of the resilient elements. In one embodiment, a pair of footboards is employed to simulate skiing movements.

STANDING LUMBAR BACK DISTRACTOR APPARATUS
20220047443 · 2022-02-17 ·

Systems, devices, and methods including a standing lumbar back distractor. The standing lumbar back distractor includes: a stand; a shaft comprising a lower end connected to the base and an upper end distal from the lower end; an elbow support mechanism connected to the upper end of the shaft; and a pelvic support mechanism disposed between the elbow support mechanism and the stand.

Adjustable seat and method for controlling same

A seat having a backrest and a seat cushion includes rows of adjusting elements, respectively, which adjusting elements are arranged above one another, on both sides of the longitudinal center plane of the seat. By alternately applying the adjusting elements mutually arranged in a vertically staggered manner in the two halves of the seat, a rotational movement can be actively applied to a seat user's back and possibly pelvis, which rotational movement corresponds to the rotational movement of the back, and possibly of the pelvis, when walking.
