An ergonomic massage chair is configured with back and bottom structures held up by a pair of legs. The various support bars and structure of the ergonomic massage chair may be comprised of, in typical implementations, metal, but plastic and other suitable structures are also possible. The back structure has perimeter support bars that form the base of the back support, and horizontal support bars extend from a left perimeter support bar to a right perimeter support bar. The bottom structure likewise has a perimeter support bar that forms the structure of the bottom. A horizontal support bar extends from a left perimeter support bar to a right perimeter support bar. Nodes are attached to the ergonomic chair, and stability balls fit inside openings created by the support bars and nodes. A cover having memory foam pillows therein encapsulates the chair to provide users with customized setups that suit them.

A stretching device for therapy contains a base including a inclined foot platform axially connected with a rear end thereof and tilting backward, a frame for the inclined foot platform having a horizontal support to abut against or be connected to an upright member extending upwardly from the front end thereof, and the upright member having two handle loops mounted thereon relative to a user's waist, the inclined foot platform is lifted to be used as an oblique platform. Accordingly, the user is capable of stretching calves, hamstrings, lower back, upper back, shoulders and neck, also to provide traction to the spine.

Compression systems and methods may include a garment configured to be donned on, for example, a head and a neck of a body. For example, the garment may include a static garment portion configurable to apply a static pressure to a portion of the head and a dynamic garment portion including one or more pressure applying regions controllable to apply pressure to the head and neck. Further, a controller may be configured to control pressure applied by the one or more pressure applying regions.

The present invention comprises a novel stretching device for the stretching the wrist and elbow as part of the treatment for lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) and medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow). Consisting of a vertically (normally wall) mounted device with different embodiments being designed for lateral and medial epicondylitis ailments. For tennis elbow the device includes an angular support projecting from a padded vertical section where the back of the hand is placed. This angular support gradually pushes the back of the fingers guiding the hand into a fist, the optimal stretch for tennis elbow. The golfer's elbow version is designed to accept a palm out fingers up hand. It has a finger and compressible palm support section of different depths, the differences support a gentle stretch of the fingers, when the palm is pushed forward and away from the body.

A treatment apparatus for providing spinal compensation therapy may include a base structure configured to support a patient lying in a supine position on the treatment apparatus, and an incrementally configurable adjustment assembly configured to modify the base structure between an initial configuration, an intermediate configuration, and a target configuration. The initial configuration may define spinal curves generated based on initial patient parameters associated with evaluation of the patient to define a first increment in progress toward the target configuration, and the intermediate configuration may define modified spinal curves relative to the initial configuration to define a second increment in the progress toward the target configuration.

A massage kit having a foam roller, a massage device, and a removable cover. The massage device includes a flat bottom surface with a curved top surface. Protrusions extend from the massage device and are configured to interact with the removable cover to hold the cover in place on the top surface or the bottom surface of the massage device. The roller includes an opening sized and dimensioned to receive the massage device.

Disclosed are handicap apparatus using (a) one or more resilient, snap-on bumper structures, (b) unique tips covers, (c) leg elevating units, (d) resilient structures having a density that provides a softer exterior and a harder interior. The handicap apparatus includes crutches, canes, wheelchairs, scooters, and walkers.

A formed therapeutic tool has a base in a generally heart-shaped configuration with a narrow arcuate front, a wide rear, tapering sides, and a concave bottom. A rearward support is formed of two similarly configured projections. The projections are laterally spaced. Each projection has a linear high point and a semicircular surface. The tool has a forward support formed of two similarly configured inclines. Each incline has an arcuate high point adjacent to one of the projections and an arcuate low point adjacent to the front. A ovoid shaped central recess extends downwardly between the inclines and the projections. The central recess terminates in an ovoid shaped floor with a lower surface constituting a portion of the concave bottom of the base. The tool having a Durometer of from 36 to 45 on a Shore A scale and an Indentation Force Deflection of from 8 to 9.

Non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) systems and methods are disclosed that measure a blood pressure, and in some examples a beat-to-beat blood pressure, of a patient without restricting blood flow. The NIBP systems determine an efficacy of administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to the patient based on the measured blood pressure and are able to optionally output the CPR efficacy or generate user prompts based on the CPR efficacy. Further, the disclosed NIBP systems can generate user instructions to administer further treatment to the patient based on the CPR efficacy.

Systems and methods for exerting forces on a body, including a support structure defining a space and a plurality of surface contacting units that are configured to exert force upon the body, such that the weight is distributed away from the primary weight bearing regions to non-weight bearing regions of the body, or vice versa, without exerting significant shear or frictional forces on surfaces of the body. The systems and methods may be used to exert forces to cause fluid shift in different compartments of the body. Applications include treatment of various disease conditions including pressure ulcers, heart failure, high blood pressure, preeclampsia, osteoporosis, injuries of spine and to slow microgravity-induced bone and muscle loss. The systems and methods may be used to simulate gravity, weightlessness or buoyancy, in rehabilitation medicine. The system may include a chair, bed, a wearable suit or an exoskeleton.
