COMPOSITIONS FOR ACTIVE COMPRESSION DEVICES AND RELATED METHODS
Some embodiments relate to compositions for active compression devices and related methods. In some embodiments, a composition for an active compression device comprises an electro-active polymer film. In some embodiments, the electro-active polymer film comprises at least one polymer and at least one additive.
SMART EXERCISE MAT
A mat assembly that includes a mat that includes a top layer and a bottom layer, a plurality of vibration motors positioned between the top layer and the bottom layer, a plurality of sensors associated with the mat, a removable battery pack, and a controller. In use, a first set of vibration motors within the plurality of vibration motors is configured to be actuated when a first one of the plurality of sensors is actuated.
PERCUSSIVE THERAPY DEVICE WITH INTERCHANGEABLE MODULES
A percussive therapy device includes a housing, an electrical source, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, and a push rod assembly operatively connected to the motor and configured to reciprocate in response to activation of the motor. A massage attachment is removably received on a distal end of the push rod assembly at a first location. The percussive therapy device also includes an attachment module associated with the housing of the percussive therapy device at a second location. The second location is different than the first location. The attachment module is configured to provide an active effect.
VIBRATING GARMENT ASSEMBLY
A garment assembly includes a sleeve member having outer and inner surfaces, a first vibration assembly associated with the sleeve member, and a control module associated with the sleeve member. The first vibration assembly includes a plurality of vibration motors that are arranged in a circle about a center point. An angular distance between each vibration motor of the plurality of vibration motors is approximately the same. The control module includes a battery, and the first vibration assembly is in electrical communication with the control module.
VIBRATING GARMENT ASSEMBLY INCLUDING LINEAR MOTORS
A garment assembly that includes a garment member with an inner surface and an outer surface, a power source, and at least a first linear motor positioned adjacent the inner surface of the garment member. The first linear motor is electrically coupled to the power source and includes a shaft member that includes a magnet. A distal end of the shaft member is configured to reciprocate against the inner surface of the garment member.
WEARABLE MEDICAL DEVICE FOR PREVENTING AND TREATING CARPAL TUNNEL AND DE QUERVAIN'S SYNDROMES
Wearable devices and methods for preventing and treating carpal tunnel syndrome or DeQuervain's syndrome. The wearable device may include a wrist contact portion for receiving a user's forearm, a stretching mechanism configured to apply opposing forces to a first contact portion and a second contact portion to stretch the user's underlying tissue, the first and second contact portions configured to contact the user's forearm, and one or more straps configured to adjust the compressive force being applied to the user's forearm by the first and second contact portions. The first contact portion may be configured to apply a compressive force to the user's forearm at a first location. The second contact portion may be configured to apply a compressive force to the user's forearm at a second location different than the first location.
Graduated pressure applicator
The present invention relates to a device for applying graduated pressure to an underlying surface. An exemplary device is a graduated compression device or a graduated pressure bandage, that is able to apply graduated pressure to a limb, with higher pressure being applied at one end of the device, e.g. near the ankle in use, and gradually applying less pressure at the other end of the device, e.g. such that the lowest pressure is applied to the end of the stocking closest to the thigh in use.
Rehabilitation system and method therefor
A knee rehabilitation system includes a plurality of compressible resistance members, a knee garment, and a resistance member receptacle. Each compressible resistance member in the plurality of compressible resistance members has (i) a same size and a shape as each other compressible resistance member in the plurality of compressible resistance members, and (ii) a compression resistance different from each other compressible resistance member in the plurality of compressible resistance members. The knee garment has a knee garment ventral portion and a knee garment dorsal portion. The resistance member receptacle is coupled to the knee garment dorsal portion, and the resistance member receptacle is sized to carry each compressible resistance member in the plurality of compressible resistance members, one at a time.
SYSTEM, APPLICATION, AND PROCESS FOR EXERCISE RECOVERY
Systems and processes for recommending a recovery routine are described. In various embodiments, an online or mobile application can receive activity data from a user and provide recommended recovery routines based thereon. The activity data can be received from a wearable activity tracker device and/or a smart fitness machine. The application can recommend that the recovery activity be performed using a smart recovery device (e.g., a percussive massage device). In certain instances, data from the recovery activity can also be communicated to the application and compared against an optimal recovery routine.
CPR chest compression device with releasable base member
A CPR device having a base member configured to be placed underneath a patient, a chest compression mechanism configured to deliver CPR chest compressions to a patient, a support leg configured to support the chest compression mechanism at a distance from the base member, a clamp mechanism coupled to the support leg, and a release mechanism coupled to the support leg and the clamp mechanism. The clamp mechanism may be configured to attach the support leg to a lock component of the base member in a latch-closed configuration and to release the support leg from the lock component in a latch-open configuration. The clamp mechanism may further be configured to transition from the latch-closed configuration to the latch-open configuration when the lock component of the base member impinges upon an external portion of the clamp mechanism.
