Tumors in portions of a subject's body that have a longitudinal axis (e.g., the torso, head, and arm) can be treated with TTFields by affixing first and second sets of electrodes at respective positions that are longitudinally prior to and subsequent to a target region. An AC voltage with a frequency of 100-500 kHz is applied between these sets of electrodes. This imposes an AC electric field with field lines that run through the target region longitudinally. The field strength is at least 1 V/cm in at least a portion of the target region. In some embodiments, this approach is combined with the application of AC electric fields through the target region in a lateral direction (e.g., front to back and/or side to side) in order to apply AC electric fields with different orientations to the target region.

Electro-stimulator (1) includes electrode pad (60) that outputs current to provide electrical stimulation to a muscle, angular velocity sensor (51) that detects information on motion of a waist, and controller (30) that adjusts magnitude of the current output from electrode pad (60) based on a result of the detection by angular velocity sensor (51). Electro-stimulator (1) further includes belt (11) that supports electrode pad (60), angular velocity sensor (51), and controller (30). Thus, current flows through an abdomen, thereby providing electrical stimulation to the abdomen, and enabling proper training of abdominal muscles.

The present invention relates to a wearable band for low frequency therapy and, more specifically, to a wearable band for low frequency therapy, the wearable band enabling a wearer to connect to a low frequency therapy device while wearing, on a body part, a cylindrical wearable band in which knitted pile yarn is formed from conductive fiber, thereby providing low-frequency stimulation to the part of the wearer's body such that the wearer can receive physical therapy.

A device for functional electrical stimulation, including a garment mountable on a user's body part, an assembly having a socket and an electrode in turn having electrode pads and a stimulator with a controlling mechanism for activating/deactivating stimulating electrical signals to be provided to at least some of the electrode pads. The garment defines a hollow area configured to receive the socket, the socket configured to house the stimulator. In use of the device, a first portion of the electrode is in contact with an inner surface of the garment, the electrode pads are in a fixed position with respect to the garment, and a second portion of the electrode is in contact with a surface of the socket for receiving the stimulating electrical signals delivered by the stimulator. A system may include the device and a sensor configured to be positioned on either user or in proximity thereto.

A system and method for reducing and preventing head injuries using a combination of hardware and software. Elevated neck stiffness can be learned through the system, device, and the method described in the present invention by delivering and pairing a certain appropriate sensory cue (SnC) with a certain appropriate significance cue (SgC). the system, device, and method are used to generally facilitate and validate an increase in neck stiffness to prevent or reduce the likelihood of concussion upon impact. The system employs a combination of hardware and software, such as using modified virtual reality (VR) headsets (in both hardware and software), to deliver visual, auditory, and other cues (somatosensory, vestibular, etc.) as SnC. The system also employs a combination of hardware and software, such as using modified virtual reality (VR) headsets (in both hardware and software), to deliver somatosensory, vestibular, visual, auditory, and other cues as SgC.
