A system for stretching the piriformis muscle may comprise a thigh strap, calf strap and one or more handles. A handle may be pulled to urge the piriformis muscle into a more elongated position. The thigh strap and calf strap may be of equal or unequal length. An optional knee void may be used for alignment purposes and may be found beneath a handle.

A physiotherapeutic device is disclosed. In an embodiment a physiotherapeutic device includes an arm trainer configured to rotationally move arms of a patient, the arm trainer having a first axis and a leg trainer configured to rotationally move legs of the patient, the leg trainer having a second axis, wherein the first and second axes comprise an adjustability in height, wherein a distance of the first axis to the second axis is constant, wherein the arm and leg trainers are adjustable in height so that an adjustment in height results in different exercising positions.

Disclosed herein are a massage device including a body composition measurement module for body composition measurement and a method of controlling the same. An embodiment of the present disclosure discloses a massage device including a massage module configured to provide mechanical stimuli to at least a part of the body of a user, a first body composition measurement module provided on a leg massage part to measure the body composition of the user, and a controller configured to control operation of the massage module and the first body composition measurement module.

Systems and methods for an exercise apparatus are provided and include a flexible elongated member, a binding apparatus, and a motor assembly. The binding apparatus is attached to the flexible elongated member and has a clamping mechanism configured to secure a shoe of a user of the exercise apparatus to the flexible elongated member. The motor assembly is disposed between the shoe and the flexible elongated member and is configured to cause the flexible elongated member to oscillate.

A therapeutic chair is disclosed with moving parts that permit a user to implement a regimen of physical modality treatment, including non-axial vertebral decompression, flexion extension, distraction, rotation, and lateral flexion.

An apparatus capable of creating synchronized sound, vibration and magnetic field stimulation, for the purpose of habituating and inhibiting brain function while stimulating the human spiritual energy system, is described. The apparatus comprises an amplifier and transducers built into a comfortable seating arrangement including a support structure and a motion platform. The support structure, such as a chair, rests upon the motion platform, which is adapted to impart three-dimensional motion to the support structure. The apparatus uses layered music to create synchronized sounds, vibrations and magnetic fields.

A creeping motion therapy device promotes proper crawling and includes a motor coupled to a frame. Each of a right paddle and a left paddle are coupled to and slidable relative to the frame. Right and left leg supports are also coupled to and slidable relative to the frame. A linkage assembly is mechanically coupled to a main flywheel assembly mechanically coupled to the motor. Each of the right paddle, the left paddle, the right leg support, and the left leg support is mechanically coupled to the linkage assembly such that the right paddle and the left leg support move alternately backward and forward in unison and the left paddle and the right leg support move in unison in opposite to the right paddle and the left leg support wherein the right paddle, left paddle, right leg support, and left leg support mimic a creeping motion.

Methods and system to partially support the weight of a human user engaged in task performance at ground level are presented herein. An upper body support system includes multiple degrees of freedom to adapt the physical geometry of the support system to meet the demands of the task at hand. Each degree of freedom of the upper body support system is passively controlled by the human user from a convenient user interface. In some embodiments, each end-effector of the support system is positioned and fixed in three degrees of freedom over a relatively large workspace by manually controlling the brake torque of two rotational joints and the state of a locking mechanism of a linear joint. In another aspect, an end-effector is removeably attached to the support system with a quick-change coupler. In some embodiments, a swivel joint mechanism compensates for misalignment with the work environment.

A person support apparatus includes a support surface having a patient facing surface and includes a head section, a seat section, and a foot section, the head section and the foot section being rotatable with respect to the seat section. One or more actuators are provided to rotate the head section and the foot section with respect to the seat section. At least one strain gauge is provided proximate the patient facing surface of the support surface to detect a change in pressure against at least one of the head section and the foot section. A controller is configured to transmit a signal to one or more of the actuators to rotate a corresponding one of the head section or the foot section in response to receiving data from the at least one strain gauge indicating a change in pressure that exceeds a predetermined reduction in pressure.

A physiotherapy instrument for human body facet joint inflammation includes a rigid therapy cavity and a negative pressure generation control system. The rigid therapy cavity is provided with at least one opening for a limb to enter and leave. The rigid therapy cavity is connected to the negative pressure generation control system by an air passage. The rigid therapy cavity is L-shaped, to allow a partial thigh above a knee of a limb and a partial or entire shank below the knee to be put in after bending, and allow a partial arm above an elbow of a limb and a partial or entire forearm below the elbow to be put in after bending. The L-shaped therapy cavity is composed of several parts fitted with each other to form a whole. The opening of the rigid therapy cavity and the limb are fixed by a sealed connecting component.
