Exosuit systems with lumbar and core support
Exosuits that use core grip members are described herein. Core grip members apply forces in a radially inward manner from the exterior of the body to the interior of the body to provide support to the user and to serve as a platform for mounting power layer segments.
Method of stimulating hair growth
A method of stimulating hair growth on the scalp of a person's head using a device having a handle and a blade means, the method including the steps of: contacting the blade means on a first area of the scalp; moving the blade means in a continuous reciprocating motion on the scalp in a first direction and an opposite second direction for a first period of time to exfoliate skin on the first area, wherein the blade means remains in continuous contact with the scalp during the reciprocating motion until hair growth is detected in the first area.
Method and apparatus for treatment of hyperhidrosis
A method and apparatus to treat hyperhidrosis is provided in which a battery provides a milliampere electrical current to the inside of a waterproof glove containing water and sealed to the user's arm so that circulation is not unduly restricted while the user can raise the water-filled gloves and hands above the user's head without leaking. A tapered portion on the proximal end of each glove is folded inside the glove to seal against the user's arm to form a pocket between the tapered portion which seals against the user's arms, and part of a wrist portion of the glove located radially outward of the tapered portion. When the user's gloves and hands rotate upward, water collects in the pocket(s) while the tapered portion provides a leakproof seal, thus allowing manual manipulation while wearing the water-filled gloves.
