A cleansing device for mammalian skin includes a cleansing head having a plurality of elastomeric cleansing features extending away from the first surface and having an aspect ratio of about 1:5 to 10:1. The cleansing head is attached to a handle adapted to apply oscillating movement to one or more cleansing head sections to provide a total displacement per oscillation of about 2 mm to 8 mm at a frequency of about 5 Hz to 30 Hz.

Powered chairs, assemblies for use in the powered chairs, and components for use in the assemblies are provided. Electrical systems for use in the powered chairs, and components for use in the electrical systems are provided. Control systems and methods for operating powered chairs are also provided. Any given chair may be locally and/or remotely controlled.

The present invention relates to a method for controlling an acupressure force and a body scan in real-time and, more specifically, the method comprises the steps of: (a) setting a reference vertical height for each horizontal position of an acupressure part, and setting a target acupressure force within the range of the reference vertical height; (b) calculating a current measurement acupressure force by means of a user's load measurement data applied to a load cell; and (c) comparing the target acupressure force with the current measurement acupressure force so as to control the vertical height of the acupressure part. That is, the present invention presents a method for controlling a body scan in real-time, the method enabling: an inflection point of a driving current measurement value applied to a horizontal driving motor to be measured during the horizontal driving of an acupressure part in an initial massage process, so as to reflect, on an acupressure force correction value, a deviation between a vertical position of the acupressure part corresponding to the inflection point and a reference vertical position, for each horizontal position, stored in a database, thereby calculating a new target acupressure force; and the new target acupressure force to be reflected in acupressure control such that an acupressure force suitable for a user can be provided during a massage.

A device is provided for the stimulation of neurons that includes a non-invasive stimulation unit to generate stimuli in multiple stimulation channels, where the stimulation unit stimulates a neuron population in the brain and/or spinal cord of a patient in different locations for each of the stimulation channels. Moreover, the device includes a control unit that controls the stimulation unit to generate repetitive bursts in each of the stimulation channels, where each of the bursts includes multiple stimuli and is designed so that they do not reset the phase of the neuronal activity of the respective stimulated neurons.

Systems and methods are disclosed for assisting body motion by attaching a plurality of rods to a body; sensing movement parameters with sensors coupled to the rods; transmitting the movement parameters to a wearable device and receiving actuation commands from the wearable device; and based on the received commands, actuating the rods with one or more actuators.

The majority of adult devices have been designed for an individual to hold. However, it would be beneficial to provide users with a range of adult devices that support their use either in a hands free manner and/or are compatible with being worn by the user for varying periods of time from intermittent/occasional short durations through to extended wearing such as all day for example. In order to provide such wearable devices being able to separate the drive means from the stimulation means provides increased design flexibility as well as allowing different designs of adult device to be implemented as the design flexibility within the appropriate regions of the user's anatomy increases when the large vibratory motors are removed and connected to the stimulation means via flexible drive shaft. Further, beneficially, flexible drive shafts allow operation as the user moves during normal activities, such as sitting, standing, walking, etc.

A skin cleanser includes a surface, such as a silicone surface, with at least one textured portion for transmitting vibrational tapping to the skin. The skin cleanser includes at least one oscillating motor for generating the tapping motion to the skin. The textured portion includes touch-points or a wave that transmit the tapping motion to skin in contact with the textured portions. The touch-points may include thicker and thinner formations of the touch-points to provide firmer or softer vibrations to the skin. The touch-points are within about 0.5 to 2.5 mm in diameter. One configuration includes multiple oscillating motors configured to provide different vibration frequencies at around 50-300 Hertz and operable simultaneously.

A passive cooling system for an electric motor drive circuit in a bathing installation, including a section of hollow pipe made of a thermally conductive tubing material, the pipe configured to form part of a water recirculation path of the bathing installation. An adapter structure has a conformal surface configured for attachment to an outer surface of the pipe and a circuit contacting surface for attachment to the motor drive circuit, the adapter structure fabricated of a thermally conductive adapter material. The adapter structure provides a thermal conductive path between the motor drive circuit and the pipe section, configured to pass heat generated by the circuitry to the pipe section and into spa water flowing through the water recirculation path, to cool the circuitry and warm the spa water.

The present invention relates to a stimulation device (1) configured for interacting with an external body portion of a user, in particular the user's back. The interaction consists of exerting a mechanic action upon the user's body, 5 such as massage stimulation and/or skin scrubbing stimulation. For this purpose, the stimulation device (1) comprises a frame (50) provided with at least one upright element (2) extending along a longitudinal direction (L) preferably corresponding, in use, to a body height of the user, and stimulation means (4), slidably coupled with the upright element (2) according to the 10 longitudinal direction (L). Further, the stimulation device (1) is apt to be installed, in use, in a wall unit (100) for a shower cabin assembly (1000).

A massaging and scrubbing device for massaging and cleansing a user includes a housing that defines an internal space. A plurality of brushes is rotationally coupled to a front of the housing. A handle is coupled to and extends from the housing. The handle is hollow. A rotator is coupled to the housing and is positioned in the internal space. The rotator is selectively operationally couplable to the plurality of brushes. The rotator is positioned to rotate the brushes to massage the user. At least one orifice is positioned through the front of the housing. A dispenser is coupled to and positioned in the handle. The dispenser is fluidically coupled to the at least one orifice. The dispenser is configured to selectively compel liquid soap through the at least one orifice to lather the user.
