A massage device provides a gentle massage and myofascial release. The massage device comprises a first roller set and a second roller set that are configured so that the first roller set makes a first contact that displaces the tissue being massaged and, prior to the tissue returning to its natural state, the second roller makes a second contact with the tissue being massaged, thus providing a deeper, extended massage to the tissue. Also disclosed is an ergonomic handle for a massage device that also functions as a trigger point release tool.

Movement-dependent stabilization support system

The present invention relates to a movement-dependent stabilisation support system (100) for stabilising a moving body (200), which comprises a plurality of sensors (110), a plurality of actuators (120) and a control unit (130). The plurality of sensors (110) continuously detects movement parameters of the body (200), on which basis the control unit (130) determines whether there is an instability of the body (200). If it is determined that there is an instability, the control unit (130) selects a stabilisation strategy, according to which the actuators (120) are controlled. When controlled, the actuators (120) attached to the body (200) stiffen and limit the freedom of movement of the body (200), such that a movement in the direction of the imminent unstable state is prevented or suppressed. In this way, the body (200) is supported in its stabilisation and an imminent fall is prevented.

Portable system for the prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis

A system is disclosed for stimulating venous and arterial circulation in a patient to prevent deep vein thrombosis, which includes a first inflatable garment sleeve configured to be wrapped around the left calf of the patient and having a first air input tube extending from an exterior surface thereof, a second inflatable garment sleeve configured to be wrapped around the right calf of the patient and having a second air input tube extending from an exterior surface of the second garment sleeve, a portable pump for cyclically inflating the first and second garment sleeves, and a bifurcated tube assembly for connecting the portable pump to the first and second air input tubes of the first and second garment sleeves.

Bodily Soothing Assembly
20230059311 · 2023-02-23 ·

A bodily soothing assembly for gently stroking a user includes a base that is positionable on a support surface. A sleeve is coupled to and extends upwardly from the base. A line extends outwardly from the sleeve and the line is comprised of a resilient material thereby facilitating the line to extend downwardly from the elbow in an arc. A massager is coupled to the line such that the massager is suspended from the sleeve. In this way the massager can rest on a user that is lying near the base. A rotation unit is integrated into the base and the rotation unit twists the line when the rotation unit is turned on thereby facilitating the massager to be rotated. In this way the massager can gently massage the user for soothing the user.
