DRY IMMERSION BED
The dry-immersion bed of the present invention is suitable for intensive care units (ICUs) and fulfills the function of providing treatment for diseases such as capillary leak syndrome. The dry immersion bed fulfills the function of recovering cardiovascular physiology by normalizing the systemic distribution of water, albumin and electrolytes, and improving lymphatic drainage, venous return, cardiac output, cell metabolism and immunity.
Wearable anchor for a therapy device
A wearable anchor having a support base, a locking mechanism, and a securing strap and which can be used to mechanically fix a therapy device a desired position relative to a user while performing desired therapy motions. The support base defines an arcuate body suitable to be placed against the thigh of the user, with the securing strap operating to hold it against the user's thigh. The locking mechanism employs a pair of slots positioned above the support base. In this regard, the locking mechanism provides a securing structure to which the cords can be fastened to, thereby allowing the therapy device to be fixed in place without requiring that the user manually hold the therapy device in place. As such, the user can more easily perform therapy motions which require the that the therapy device be held in place, such as static progressive stretch therapy motions.
Device for Height Adjustment
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.
APPARATUS FOR DRY HYDRO-THERAPY BODY MASSAGE IN A RECLINED POSITION
An apparatus for dry hydro-therapy body massage of a user in a reclined position, including a housing structure having a user support surface for supporting the user in a seated position, the user support surface including a seat back portion, a seat portion with a semi-cylindrical main seat section and a leg seat section, wherein the seat back portion and the leg seat section are in relative angular relation to each other and the main seat section is disposed therebetween, and a fluid spray assembly interiorly within the housing structure for directing a fluid stream at the user support surface for imparting a massaging effect through the support surface to the upper body portion and lower body portion of the user.
DEVICE FOR SYNCHRONIZED SOUND, VIBRATION AND MAGNETIC FIELD STIMULATION
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.
Method and apparatus for variable knee flexion support
A system for promoting knee flexion may comprise a support bar and a plurality of pads removably mounted thereto, such that sequential use of the plurality of pads may progressively allow a knee joint to move through an increased range of motion.
APPARATUS AND METHODS OF SENSING A PATIENT CONDITION, SUCH AS ANATOMY POSITION, AND OF CONTROLLING PATIENT APPLICATIONS
Patient therapy and patient condition sensing devices and methods can be operated as a function of estimated internal hydrostatic pressure of a body part, for example at a position where a pressure or compression therapy is applied. Information relating to a patient's position, posture, ambulation and/or a physiological condition such as blood pressure can be used to control pressure or compression therapy.
WEARABLE ANCHOR FOR A THERAPY DEVICE
A wearable anchor having a support base, a locking mechanism, and a securing strap and which can be used to mechanically fix a therapy device a desired position relative to a user while performing desired therapy motions. The support base defines an arcuate body suitable to be placed against the thigh of the user, with the securing strap operating to hold it against the user's thigh. The locking mechanism employs a pair of slots positioned above the support base. In this regard, the locking mechanism provides a securing structure to which the cords can be fastened to, thereby allowing the therapy device to be fixed in place without requiring that the user manually hold the therapy device in place. As such, the user can more easily perform therapy motions which require the that the therapy device be held in place, such as static progressive stretch therapy motions.
Method and apparatus for knee joint flexibility rehabilitation
Knee joint flexibility rehabilitation apparatuses and methods specifically adapted for knee joint flexibility rehabilitation following knee joint surgery or other type of knee joint treatment are described. In some embodiments, a knee joint flexibility apparatus may include a padded knee posterior support bar disposed atop an adjustable rod and collaborating strut tube. Apparatuses and methods herein may be used to promote gravity passive flexion specific towards gradual knee joint muscle and tendon stretching.
METHOD FOR TREATING AND PREVENTING PERIPHERAL CIRCULATION DISORDERS AND INVERSION TABLE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION THEREOF
The invention relates to medicine, and more particularly to gravitational therapy, and can be used independently or as part of a programme of treatment and rehabilitation for patients with peripheral circulation disorders. The present inversion table consists of a bed with a pivotable frame, and a support element. A treatment and prevention method involves positioning a patient on the inversion table such that they are lying on their right side with their legs bent at the knees and apart at the hips, and inclining the head portion of the table by an angle of up to 30 degrees and returning the table to its initial position by means of oscillating movements performed about the longitudinal and transverse axes with a set frequency. The frequency is set such as to be equal to the average value of the frequencies of the oscillations in the skin microcirculation with a maximum amplitude.
