Various types of low level laser therapy (LLLT) wrap devices, methods of use, and a system comprising a mobile application, for the treatment of pain from musculoskeletal injuries or medical conditions, and to capture “patient's vitals”. Each wrap is fitted to a specific body part (e.g. knee), lightweight, portable so that it is wearable beneath clothing; and with a battery-powered electrical circuit embedded within the wrap, comprising: a plurality of laser diodes to treat surface and/or deep tissue pain; sensors (e.g. safety and/or patient vital sign monitoring); and a wireless transceiver for transmitting data (sensor and patient pain levels) to a mobile application. The wrap may also function as an orthopedic support; and is pre-calibrated for a specific duration to deliver a clinical strength dosage from 630 nm to 904 nm that is specific to the medical disorder and/or the user anatomical area, with an automatic shut-off after dose delivery.

Aspects described herein include a method comprising receiving one or more sensor signals from one or more sensors that are worn by a wearer, and determining, based on the one or more sensor signals, one or more poses of a leg of the wearer during motion. The method further comprises controlling, based on the one or more poses, a pressure of one or more actuatable components to adjust the leg toward a target pose during the motion. The one or more actuatable components are worn on one or both of the leg and a foot of the wearer.

In the configuration of a supporter that at least partially includes a tubular cover portion which covers a part of a human body and which elastically expands and contracts, a load addition pattern portion that is adhered to at least a part of a half or more circumference in a circumferential direction on the front surface of the tubular cover portion and that can apply a load of a predetermined magnitude to the part of the human body when the part of the human body to which the tubular cover portion is fitted is moved is continuously formed of an elastic rubber material. Preferably, as the elastic rubber material, a silicone rubber material is used, and a part or the whole of the area of the load addition pattern portion is formed with a mesh-shaped portion and preferably a honeycomb shape.

One embodiment of a disclosed wearable device includes a pliable wrap with a plurality of fluid chambers stitched together to structure the wrap to conform to a shape of a joint of the user. An array of tension sensors are embedded into the wrap across one or more horizontal axes and one or more vertical axes of the wrap. Each tension sensor in the array detects forces exerted by the joint covered by the wrap and is connected with at least one adjacent tension sensor by a conductive thread. The wrap is further embedded with a controller, which receives signals representing movements detected by tension sensors of the array and generates a signal to activate the electroactive gel in one or more fluid chambers based on an analysis of the received signals.

A brace including (i) two or more supports configured to contact body parts on opposite sides or ends of one or more joints when the brace is in use and (ii) one or more force application mechanisms that apply a controllable force to the supports in opposite directions to alleviate compression in the one or more joints is disclosed. Methods of manufacturing the brace and of alleviating compression in one or more joints using the brace are also disclosed.

A closing device for orthosis including a buckle and a strap engaged to each other, respectively associable at their opposite ends to portions of orthosis. The buckle includes at least two rings between which a wall is placed, which is provided with a hook-shaped quick coupling element on the upper surface. The strap includes on one side a portion of a loop-shaped quick coupling element for gripping on the relative quick coupling element of the wall.

A sleeve has a tubular body formed from an elasticized textile and has first and second ends. The first end defines a locking cuff having a tacky band extending about an exterior surface of the sleeve; a non-tacky band located adjacent to and extending distally from the tacky band; and a receiving band located adjacent to and extending distally from the non-tacky band. The textile body further defines a central portion adjacent to and extending distally from the receiving band to the second end. The central portion includes an anatomical band arranged to contour to the anatomy of a user having at least one different elastic property different from an elastic property of the central portion outside of the anatomical band.

An orthopedic device comprises a main body defining an outer surface and a cuff extending from an end portion of the main body with frictional material disposed on an inner surface of the first cuff. A hinge is connected to the main body and terminates along the main body short of the cuff. The cuff is arranged to fold over the outer surface of the main body in a disengaged configuration, such that the outer surface of the first cuff is adjacently against the outer surface of the main body.

An apparatus includes a sleeve configured to be worn on a knee of a user and a compartment coupled to the sleeve. The includes an upper opening and lower opening. The compartment is configured to be located on an inside of the knee when the sleeve is worn such that the compartment is positioned between the knees of the user. The upper opening is positioned above the knee of the user and the lower opening is positioned below the knee of the user. The apparatus further includes a compressible padding enclosed within the compartment such that the compressible padding is configured to positioned between a user’s knees when they sleep on their side. The compressible padding separates the legs of the user to align the legs and back of the user when they sleep on their side.

A support for an article has a body arranged for length adjustment along a length adjustment axis. A tensioning device is connected to the support and adjustment of the tensioning device shortens or lengthens a length of the support along the length adjustment axis. The body defines at least one opening overlapping at least part of the length adjustment axis such that length adjustment is governed by modification of the size of the at least one opening according to adjustment by the tensioning device.
