Systems and methods for treating facial soft tissues of a patient in a healthcare or cosmetic treatment environment such as, for example, a spa, clinic, or a medical practitioner's office are presented herein. The facial treatment system includes a facial stimulator instrument and/or an acoustic oscillator to deliver therapeutic stimulation to the facial tissues of a patient including percussive massage, electrical stimulation, and acoustic stimulation. A facial treatment application executing on a processor of a computing device identifies a treatment protocol and operates the facial stimulator instrument and/or acoustic oscillator to implement the facial tissue treatment.

An intelligent intraocular and extraocular muscle sensitivity exercise training instrument which is disposed with an ocular head (1) consisting of a front shell (11), a middle shell (12) and a back shell (13), and a control device (2) electrically connected to the ocular head (1), as well as an intraocular muscle exercise bar (3) electrically connected to the control device (2). The beneficial effects are as below: in addition to supplementing the field of portable intraocular and extraocular muscle training instruments, it is also convenient for students to put it in their school bags for use at any time thanks to its intelligent operations and foldable structure, it overcomes the shortcomings of the above-mentioned pure extraocular and intraocular muscle sensitivity training instruments. Therefore, it is bound to have a profound effect on myopia control, dyslexia remediation, eye healthcare, and memory improvement among teenagers.

The proposed method is intended for rhythmic stimulation of neurotrophic reflexes to simultaneous stretching of muscles in various sections of spine, joints of limbs and in the main muscles of a human body. The aforesaid method can be implemented by employing an exercise machine that provides for mechanical anti-phase oscillations of lodgments affecting various sections of the body and limbs without considerable movements of the neck-and-head lodgment in the vertical direction. The upper body and the lower limbs make in-phase reciprocal movements, while the pelvic area makes movements anti-phase relative thereto. A support for the neck-and-head part is installed to allow supporting natural movements of the head in the course of the aforesaid movements of the upper body. The design of the exercise machine is described in detail herein.

Provided are a method for strengthening blood vessels with extreme ease and a compression and decompression control system used for performing the method. A compression and decompression control system 1 includes a band adapted to be placed around a particular part of a limb of a user and to apply a compression force to the particular part and a controller for controlling the compression force applied to the particular part with the band. The controller controls the compression force applied with the band in a manner that a compression operation applying a predetermined compression force to the particular part and a decompression operation completely removing the compression force applied to the particular part by the compression operation are alternately repeated. Repetition of the compression operation and the decompression operation allows the vascular endothelial cells of blood vessels of the user to generate a larger amount of nitric oxide, thereby strengthening the blood vessels.

A device includes a first vibrational transducer and a second vibrational transducer. The first vibrational transducer has a first vibrating property. The second vibrotactile stimulator has a second vibrating property different than the first vibrating property. A collar may be configured to position the first vibrational transducer and the second vibrational transducer over a neck of a subject. A method for stimulating swallowing in a subject includes applying a first vibrotactile stimulation and applying a second vibrotactile stimulation to a throat area of the subject. The first vibrotactile stimulation has a first vibrating property and the second vibrotactile stimulation has a second vibrating property different than the first vibrating property. Example vibrating properties include vibrating frequency, vibrating frequency range, wave shape, continuousness, frequency phase, and direction of mechanical force.

Systems and methods are provided for controlling infrared radiation (IR) sources of a sauna including tuning IR wavelength-ranges and radiated power-levels of IR sources, and directing IR to locations on a user's body. In one illustrative embodiment, a sauna may be provided having adjustable heat sources to emit IR at any wavelength resulting in a desirable radiation treatment for the sauna user. In another illustrative embodiment, a method is provided for tuning IR sources in a sauna.

A device for mutual sexual stimulation of partners is provided. The device includes a central area forming a base for at least three arms that extend therefrom in a common plane, the three arms comprising a pair of outer arms and an inner arm that is disposed in the common plane between the outer arms, where each of the outer arms includes at least one pressure sensor and at least one vibration motor. The device also includes a controller operatively coupled with the at least one pressure sensor and the at least one vibration motor, and configured to detect a pressure applied to a first outer arm of the pair of outer arms and activate the vibration motor in a second outer arm of the pair of outer arms in response to the detected pressure.

A sex toy comprising a body housing a motor; a shaft coupled to the motor; a massaging member mounted over the shaft; and a controller coupled to control the motor to drive the massaging member in a reciprocating motion along the length of the shaft is described. The reciprocating motion results in a change in length of the sex toy. The change in length may comprise about 20 mms to about 100 mms; about 25 mm to about 90 mm; or about 30 mm to about 85 mm. One full stroke of the reciprocating motion may be performed in about 0.5 to about 2.0 about seconds; about 0.6 to about 1.5 seconds; or about 0.7 to about 1.0 seconds.

Provided is a training device capable of executing a plurality of operation modes, in which an operation rod is appropriately operated according to an operation mode. The training device includes the operation rod, a plurality of motors, a plurality of force detection units, and a plurality of first command calculation units. The operation rod allows a limb to move. The plurality of motors operate the operation rod in the direction of degree of freedom in which the operation rod can move. Each of the force detection units detects a corresponding force component and outputs a force component signal. The first command calculation units are connected to the corresponding force detection units. Each of the first command calculation units calculates a first motor control command on the basis of the corresponding force component signal.

A knee range of motion device utilizing tangential joint translation and distraction is disclosed. The device includes a carriage connected to a base, the carriage having a base attachment section; a thigh support section pivotally attached to the base attachment section; and a lower leg support section pivotally connected to the thigh support section. The device further including a carriage support extending between the thigh support section and the base, the carriage support pivotally connected to the thigh support section and adapted to slide in slots on the base; a first actuator connected to the lower leg support section to extend and retract the lower leg support section, thereby causing a foot support connected to the lower leg section to move; and a second actuator connected to the lower leg support section to raise and lower a calf support, causing an anterior and posterior tibial translation.
