TREATMENT TABLE
A treatment table (1) includes a chest support part (3) and a leg support part (4) that respectively support a chest and legs of a patient while the patient lies on the treatment table, and a lower-back support part (20) that support a lower-back of the patient, and is located between the chest support part and the leg support part, wherein the lower back support part is provided with multiple divided members (21) that are divided in patient's body-axis and body-width directions, and supporting bodies that support the divided members (21) movably in an up-down direction. The treatment table offers to perform an effective lower-back treatment with an inexpensive configuration.
Measuring method and apparatus for determining the length conditions, the position and/or the radius of movement of the lower extremities of a bed-bound patient
A measuring method determines the length conditions, the position and/or the radius of movement of the lower extremities of a bed-bound patient. A knee module of a rehabilitation mechanism is connected to a point of application of a leg of the patient. A measuring device records and determines a trajectory solely of the point of application during a movement of the leg by the knee module. A model generation device creates a kinematic model from the data. This allows a determination of the length conditions, the position and/or the radius of movement during an initializing movement without having to undertake any surgical intervention. This does away with the need for complex sensor technology and provides a kinematic model of the radius of movement of the patient, the parameters of which kinematic model are used for establishing new therapeutic procedures within the patient's physical therapy.
Sprocket drive mechanism of massage device
A sprocket transmission mechanism of a massage device contains: a driven box, a pair of hollow holders, and two bendable chains. The driven box is driven by two drive shafts of a motor beside the driven box. The pair of hollow holders are rotatably connected with the two drive shafts respectively and have two grooves, and the pair of hollow holders are connected inside two inner sides of a chair or a bed respectively. The two bendable chains are accommodated in the two grooves individually. The two drive shafts have four sprockets fitted on two sides thereof individually, and two driven sprockets are rotatably connected between the two sides of the two shafts respectively, such that the two bendable chains are inserted into the pair of hollow holders to mesh with and to drive the four sprockets and the two driven sprockets to rotate individually.
DEVICE FOR RELIEVING THE LOAD ON THE HUMAN MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM DURING WORK OR LEISURE
The invention relates to the field of medicine. A device for relieving the load on the human musculoskeletal system during work or leisure comprises a base, a supporting bed mounted at an angle to the base, a foot rest and a spring mechanism. The spring mechanism allows the support bed to rock relative to the base. The device is equipped with a rocking force adjustment mechanism, as well as with height-adjustable armrests and a table. The table is adjustable with respect to its position relative to a person. This provides for an improvement in the performance of the device for users of different builds, allows users to be more comfortably accommodated irrespective of their height or weight, improves levels of efficiency, reactivity and endurance in users, and provides a greater sensation of well-being and relaxation than sitting.
Roller massage table
A roller massage table has a leg under each comer, a leg disposed under the center of the table, and a roller mechanism mounted within the center of the table. The roller mechanism includes a spring-loaded wheel and is slidingly mounted to a pair rails on the underside of the table enabling the roller mechanism to move up and down along a single axis.
Vibroacoustic Therapy Bed with Stowable Form Factor
A vibroacoustic therapy bed delivers a sensory experience using integrated vibrational transducers, sounds, lighting effects, and/or other sensory elements. The vibroacoustic therapy bed includes a series of interconnected base elements and a pad. The vibroacoustic therapy bed is configurable between a flat configuration in which the base elements support a user laying on the pad and a stowable configuration in which the base elements pivot with respect to each other utilizing hinge connectors to form a compact structure suitable for stowing. The base elements may furthermore include an isolation element for attenuating transfer of vibrational energy from the vibrational transducers to the ground.
PROGRAMMABLE MULTI-THERAPY INVERSION TABLE
An inversion table that incorporates additional therapies, such as massage, traction, and heat. Therapeutic elements of the inversion table may be programmable, so that settings are cycled automatically through preprogrammed patterns. The table may have one or more back massage elements that travel along tracks in the table to massage different portions of the back, and similar neck massage elements that massage different portions of the neck. Traction actuators may apply traction forces to the head and the legs. One or more heating pads may apply heat to any portion of the body. Settings for the therapeutic elements may be controlled by a processor that may execute stored therapy programs, or may respond to user input from a controller or a smartphone.
Bedding Foundation Having Multiple Lift Actuators For Massage Effect
A bedding foundation has a linear actuator for moving a roller carriage forward and backwards. The roller carriage includes wheels which move along rails supported below a rigid platform having an opening extending through the platform. The roller carriage includes a lifter which raises and lowers a roller independently of the movement of the linear actuator. Regardless of the position of the linear actuator, the roller may be raised or lowered. The roller moves back and forth inside the opening extending through the rigid platform and imparts a massage movement to a mattress above the foundation.
System and method for incentivizing and quantifying patient mobility
A patient support apparatus includes a controller having a processor and a memory. The memory may have instructions stored therein related to an exercise regimen for a patient. A graphical user interface may be provided. The controller may be configured to display an alert on the graphical user interface when the patient requires exercise. User inputs may be displayed on the graphical user interface to enable a caregiver to record exercises completed by the patient.
Massaging table assembly
A massaging table assembly for massaging a user's body includes a table that is positionable at an angle on a support surface for having a user lie thereon. The table has an opening therein. A rocker unit is pivotally coupled to the table and the rocker unit is positioned in the opening in the table. Moreover, the rocker unit is tiltable to a variety of angles with respect to the table. A pair of rollers is each rotatably coupled to the rocker units. Each of the rollers can massage the user's body when the user lies on the table.
