Methods for treating baldness and promoting hair growth
The invention relates to methods of treating baldness, treating alopecia, promoting hair growth, and/or promoting hair follicle development and/or activation or stimulation on an area of the skin of a subject (for example, a human) by subjecting said area of the skin to integumental perturbation. Integumental perturbation can be used in combination with other treatments for promoting hair growth. The invention provides devices for integumental perturbation for promoting hair growth, and provides pharmaceutical compositions for use in combination with integumental perturbation for promoting hair growth.
Actuating device for powered orthosis
An actuating device for orthosis includes a transmission that is operatively connected to a motor such that the motor provides power to the transmission. The transmission includes a first stage, a second stage, and a third stage. Each of these stages includes at least two sprockets and a drive belt tensioned between the two sprockets. The transmission also includes a first shaft and a second shaft. A sprocket of each of the first, second, and third stages of the transmission is attached to the first shaft. An actuating arm is operatively connected to the third stage of the transmission such that the power provided to the transmission by the motor causes the actuating arm to provide an output torque.
CUSTOMIZABLE CLEANING BRUSH
A customizable cleaning brush, including a main body, a plurality of head members removably connected to at least a portion of the main body to brush, scrub, and massage a body of a user, a plurality of operation controls disposed on at least a portion of a first side of the main body to perform at least one of a rotation, oscillation, and vibration of the plurality of head members, and a plurality of pressure controls disposed on at least a portion of a second side of the main body to perform at least one of a speed control and a pressure control of the plurality of head members.
THERAPEUTIC APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR EFFECTING AUTOMATED PARALLEL MOBILIZATION OF A MUSCLE OR TENDON
A therapeutic apparatus and a method for providing parallel mobilization treatment of a muscle or a tendon in a limb utilizing the therapeutic apparatus.
The therapeutic apparatus includes a driven endless belt which travels along a path, with a plurality of contact elements projecting from and spaced along the machine direction of the endless belt. The apparatus can provide parallel mobilization treatment to a tender location by releasably securing the therapeutic apparatus to a limb overlaying the tender location, and activating the therapeutic apparatus to drive the contact elements along a path wherein the contact elements contact and effect parallel mobilization of a muscle or a tendon at the tender location as the contact elements travel along an interaction segment of the path.
Massaging Chair Assembly
A massaging chair assembly includes a pad that is positionable on a seat in a vehicle. A plurality of massage units is each integrated into the pad and each of the massage units abuts the user when the user sits on the pad. Each of the massage units orbits about a central point when the massage units are turned on to massage the user. A heating element is integrated into the pad and the heating element heats the pad to warm the user when the user sits on the pad. A control unit is integrated into the pad and the control unit is in electrical communication with each of the massage units and the heating element. A remote control is provided and the remote control is in wireless communication with the control unit for controlling operational parameters of the massage units and the heating element.
Detachable crutches and method of controlling the same
A pair of detachable crutches extends in a longitudinal direction, where each of the detachable crutches includes a metal ball having magnetic properties and a holder having magnetic properties. A magnetic force is generated between the metal ball provided at one of the crutches and the holder provided at the other one of the crutches so as to maintain attachment therebetween. Each of the crutches further includes a sensor configured to sense whether the metal ball and the holder have been attached to each other.
HIP EXOSKELETON
An exoskeleton wearable on a body of a human having two legs, the exoskeleton comprising a first HAA joint and a second HAA joint to assist the human with leg abduction and adduction movements that are parallel to a frontal plane, each of the first and the second HAA joints having an actuator, each actuator including a motor and a clutch. The exoskeleton further comprises a sensor system for measuring a combined center of mass of the human and the exoskeleton in the frontal plane and a step width of the human in the frontal plane. The exoskeleton further comprises a controller that outputs adjustment angles for each of the first and the second HAA joints based on the center of mass and the step width. The first and the second HAA joints are respectively rotated based on the respective output adjustment angles.
