Described herein are wearable sensory stimulation and monitoring devices that can be worn around the back of the neck along and in contact with the spine. The wearable device includes cuff, band and head cover members as form factors. Apparatuses described herein stimulate one or more senses including auditory, tactile or olfactory. Apparatuses are also described that allow for sensing and monitoring of physiologic parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure and movement. The device also has features that allow for easy attachment or integration to articles worn on the head such as augmented reality and virtual reality accessories to provide visual stimulation and entertainment.

An inversion table comprises a tabletop that tilts upon a frame from up to a vertical orientation to up to 90° below horizontal. Shoulder supports are oriented and located such that the top of a user's shoulders rest against the shoulder supports and the user's body weight is borne by their shoulders when the tabletop is tilted below horizontal. Ankle supports hold the user on the inversion table as the tabletop tilts.

An electromagnetic physiotherapy apparatus of conception and governor vessels includes an electromagnetic generating device, and a torso model structure. The torso model structure is electrically connected to the electromagnetic generating device, and is configured to be worn by the user, and the torso model structure is provided with electromagnetic diaphragms at positions corresponding to acupuncture points and tissues of a human body. The torso model structure includes a head unit, a chest unit, a waist unit and a lower abdomen unit, and the head unit, the chest unit, the waist unit and the lower abdomen unit are connected through a main torso. A physiotherapy method of conception and governor vessels includes: enabling a bionic electromagnetism to synchronously act on a neuron area, a block and a chain to promote connections between synapses of the neuron area, the block and the chain.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses to treat subjective tinnitus is disclosed herein. A series of short, self-administered treatments with the apparatus may lessen or eliminate the subjective perception of tinnitus in the majority of individuals. The apparatus that delivers the treatment may include four bone conductors, two for each ear delivering sound to the inner ear via bone conduction. Each ear receives low frequency tones between fifty and one-hundred-and-ten hertz high frequency tones between six-thousand and ten-thousand hertz. The low frequency tones and high frequency tones may be all delivered slightly above an auditory threshold intensity. The apparatus may be self-contained, rechargeable and controllable via mobile phone application. The method of treatment may involve programmed sessions lasting one to fifteen minutes.

A health care device includes a health care body for positioning a body part of a user, so as to maintain a first specific positional relationship with the body part, wherein the body part has an acupoint; an acupoint work piece for performing a health care work onto the use through the acupoint; and a work piece holder having a first end connected to the health care body and a second end for fixing the acupoint work piece, so that under the first specific positional relationship, the acupoint work piece performs the health care work under the condition that the acupoint work piece has a second specific positional relationship with the acupoint. A health care body, method and system are also provided.

A method of stimulating nasal tissues using a system comprises a catheter assembly connected to a fluid flow generator. The catheter assembly comprises a generally oblong inflatable catheter defining at least one catheter volume and a tube part comprising at least one lumen configured to establish fluid flow connection between said fluid flow generator and catheter. Preferably, the catheter assembly comprises at least one vent for releasing fluid or permitting fluid to escape from the generated fluid flow. The method generally comprises the steps of: providing a fluid flow from the fluid flow generator; inflating the catheter to assume a shape suitable for insertion in the nasal cavity; inserting the catheter to a predetermined position in a nasal cavity; adjusting the catheter with the fluid flow regulator to assume a shape suitable for stimulating the nasal tissue; and stimulating the nasal tissue by selecting at least one of a smooth continuous fluid flow, an oscillating fluid flow and a pulsating fluid flow.

A motorized cervical traction device comprises an inferior base configured to attach to a patient support (such as an operating table or gurney), a superior base spaced apart from the inferior base along a cranial/caudal direction, and a set of linear actuators extending between the inferior base and the superior base. The superior base includes an attachment point configured to enable mechanical coupling of a load sensor and a patient head attachment (e.g., Gardner-Wells device or Mayfield skull clamp) to the superior base. In use, the device provides real-time load sensing capability and can apply distraction via extension of the linear actuators to a preset load (force control) or displacement (position control). The device also includes a flexion/extension mechanism that enables rotational positioning of the linear actuators relative to the inferior base along and enables control of the flexion/extension angle of the applied traction.

A system for testing and/or training the vision of a user is disclosed herein. The system includes at least one camera, a visual display device having an output screen, and a data processing device operatively coupled to the at least one camera and the visual display device. In one embodiment, the data processing device is programmed to determine a head position, head velocity, and/or head speed of a user during a vision test or vision training routine from a plurality of images of the head of the user captured by the at least one camera. In another embodiment, the data processing device is programmed to determine, based upon an input signal received from a user input device, a contrast display setting for a screen background relative to at least one visual target, the contrast display setting enabling the user to gradually adapt to increasing levels of visual stimulation.

An emergency management system having an ice water immersion bag capable of rapidly cooling an overheated individual's body through its combination of elements, apertures, and capacity. An overheated individual is placed within the ice immersion bag, yet the individual's body may still be accessed in the event of a medical emergency through the use of one of the many openings presented throughout the bag. The openings otherwise remain sealed and waterproof to prevent the ice water from escaping the bag, further effectuating ice water immersion to rapidly cool the overheated individual.
