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.

A fully wearable, wireless soft electronic system that offers a portable, highly sensitive tracking of eye movements (vergence) via the combination of skin-conformal sensors and a virtual reality system. Advancement of material processing and printing technologies based on aerosol jet printing enables reliable manufacturing of skin-like sensors, while the flexible hybrid circuit based on elastomer and chip integration allows comfortable integration with a user's head. Analytical and computational study of a data classification algorithm provides a highly accurate tool for real-time detection and classification of ocular motions. In vivo demonstration with 14 human subjects captures the potential of the wearable electronics as a portable therapy system, whose minimized form factor facilitates seamless interplay with traditional wearable hardware.

Disclosed is an exoskeleton wearable device configured to push a condyle out from a glenoid structure of a skull made of two bellows shaped actuators each having an elliptical cross-section; an upper part configured to be fixed on a forehead of a patient and provide a base for the two bellows shaped actuators; and a lower part configured to be fixed on a mandible of the patient and substantially static to the mandible but moveable in a horizontal plane and a vertical plane with respect to the upper part.

A back therapy apparatus for vertebral massage includes a plurality of manipulating assemblies. The apparatus is adjustable and arranged to engage a spine at multiple locations over an extended length at vertebral areas between a spinous process and a transverse process on either side of a spine. A drive system is adapted to drive multiple manipulating assemblies simultaneously and independently.

A system for mechanical stimulation of nasal tissues of a patient 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 the catheter is configured to assume a shape suitable for insertion into a nasal cavity and to assume a shape suitable for stimulating a nasal tissue. The catheter assembly also comprises 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 fluid flow generator of previous aspects of the invention is configured to generate at least one of a smooth continuous flow, an oscillating flow and a pulsating flow.

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.

A device and method for preventing the spread of a communicable disease during a close proximity services session is provided. The method includes assembling a device to a face cradle of a massage table prior to the close proximity services session, wherein the device captures one or more respiratory droplets excreted by a client during the close proximity services session. The device includes a closed sidewall, an open sidewall, a top portion mechanically connected to the closed and to the open sidewall, wherein the top portion includes a securing means for securing the top portion to the face cradle and a bottom portion mechanically connected to the closed sidewall.

A cervicothoracic spine restorator is disclosed. In the cervicothoracic spine restorator, a fixing structure is further included, such that relaxation of muscles such as pectoralis major muscle, pectoralis minor muscle, rectus abdominis muscle, and trapezius muscle or latissimus dorsi muscle can be easily performed. Further, the blood vessel may be expanded and the blood may be supplied smoothly to the head. This may help recovery and correction during a short correction period. There is an advantage that a separate correction mechanism, which is used for spine correction such as a abdomen band, is unnecessary.

A cranial stimulation device is provided, including a helmet suitable for wrapping at least a portion of the user's head and defining an inner surface facing the head; a massage band extending along the perimeter of the active surface; a massage block fastened to the helmet at the active surface; and a control unit suitable for controlling the motion of the massage band and of the massage block by varying their reciprocal distance.

Methods and devices are described which allow sound waves to be safely be applied to the eyelid of an eye of a patient or through the eyelid to other structures in the eye or to or through structures in the facial region to effect changes to one or more structures in and around the eye or directly through the cornea or sclera to regions of the eye to treat one or more diseases of the eye.
