PERCUSSIVE MASSAGE DEVICE AND METHOD OF USE
A percussive massage device that includes a housing, an electrical source, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, a push rod assembly operatively connected to the motor and configured to reciprocate in response to activation of the motor, a massage attachment configured to be removably attached to the push rod, and an attachment module operatively connected to the housing. The housing includes first, second, and third handle portions that cooperate to define a handle opening, wherein the first handle portion defines a first axis, the second handle portion defines a second axis and the third handle portion defines a third axis, and wherein the first, second, and third axes cooperate to form a triangle.
Endoscopy band with sigmoid support apparatus
An endoscopy sigmoid support apparatus that includes a primary wrap sized for placement around a subject's lower abdomen. A closing mechanism is provided at the end of the primary wrap to secure the primary wrap around the abdomen of the subject by attaching a first end of the primary wrap to a second portion of the primary wrap. A strap extends from the primary wrap and is configured to extend across at least a portion of the primary wrap and to fasten to a third portion of the primary wrap to adjust the amount of pressure applied by the endoscopy sigmoid support apparatus.
Battery-powered percussive massage device with pressure sensor
A percussive massage device includes an enclosure having a cylindrical bore that extends along a longitudinal axis. A motor has a rotatable shaft that rotates about a central axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A crank coupled to the shaft includes a pivot, which is offset from the central axis of the shaft. A reciprocation linkage has a first end coupled to the pivot of the crank. A piston has a first end coupled to a second end of the reciprocation linkage. The piston is constrained to move within a cylinder along the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical bore. An applicator head has a first end coupled to a second end of the piston and has a second end exposed outside the cylindrical bore for application to a person receiving treatment. A motor controller measures current applied to the motor and displays a pressure indicator responsive to the measured current.
SPINAL THERAPY APPARATUS
A spinal therapy apparatus includes one or more manipulating assemblies. In some examples a first manipulating member is arranged to engage a spine at a first vertebral area between a spinous process and a transverse process on a first side of a spine and a second manipulating member is arranged to engage the spine at a second vertebral area between a spinous process and a transverse process on the first side of the spine. The first and second manipulating members are coupled together at their proximal ends to permit the first and second manipulating members to be driven simultaneously and the coupling permits motion of the first and second manipulating members relative to one another in an axial direction. In other examples a drive system is adapted to drive first and second manipulating members simultaneously and independently. The disclosure also relates to a spinal therapy bed including such manipulating assemblies and methods of using and training spinal therapy devices.
Acoustic therapy device
The present disclosure provides a system for delivery of therapeutic energy. The system includes an energy unit configured to convert the acoustic energy signals transmitted to therapeutic ultrasound directed to fragment tumors and carcinogenic tissue in the body. The system also includes an energy unit configured to convert the acoustic energy signal transmitted from the energy unit to ultrasonic energy to image and monitor the treatment site with ultrasound. The system also includes a control unit including a computer for data storage and display.
Rehabilitation training apparatus
Disclosed is a rehabilitation training apparatus. The rehabilitation training apparatus includes a pair of first tracks formed parallel to each other along first axis, a second track disposed on the pair of first tracks, and moving along the first axis, and formed along second axis, a hand holder disposed on the second track, and moving along the second track, and on which at least one of hand and arm of a user is held, a stopper for a track disposed on the pair of first tracks for limiting a movement range of the second track, and a stopper for a holder disposed on the second track for limiting a movement range of the second pair of first tracks, wherein the first axis and the second axis are disposed with an inclination.
Spring-loaded device for eliciting deep tendon reflexes
A deep tendon reflex-eliciting device actuated by pressure against a patient's skin, which releases a spring-loaded mass that delivers an impulse through a fully-enclosed housing. This device includes a weight contained within the casings, and a mainspring in communication with the weight. The mainspring has a bias toward expansion. In the compressed position, the mainspring is also compressed, and the weight is pushed backwards into the rear casing. The weight is released to be driven forward by the mainspring. The weight strikes the inside of the forward casing, delivering an impulse to a surface against Which the device is pressed. A reset spring can push apart the forward and rear casings to reset the device to its expanded position. A case screw is also included which is able to consistently set the impact force of the device.
TREATMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING CELLULITE AND FOR PROVIDING OTHER TREATMENTS
Treatment systems, methods, and apparatuses for improving the appearance of skin or other target regions are described. Aspects of the technology are directed to improving the appearance of skin by tightening the skin, improving skin tone or texture, eliminating or reducing wrinkles, increasing skin smoothness, or improving the appearance sites with cellulite. Treatments can include cooling a surface of a patient's skin and detecting freezing in the cooled skin. The tissue can be cooled after the freeze event is detected so to maintain the frozen state of the tissue to improve the appearance of the treatment site.
LUMBAR RETRACTOR
A lumbar retractor according to an embodiment comprises: a first fixing part for fixing the user's lumbar regions; a second fixing part for fixing the user's pelvic regions; and a connection part disposed between the first fixing part and the second fixing part to connect the first fixing part and the second fixing part, wherein the distance between the first fixing part and the second fixing part can be adjusted by changing the length of the connection part, and the first fixing part can press each of a plurality of segments of the user's lumbar regions individually.
ASSISTIVE DEVICE STRUCTURE FOR POSITIONING AND PRESSURE RELIEF
An assistive device structure for positioning and pressure relief is provided, including a first elastic layer and a second elastic layer, which are attached by using a high-frequency encapsulation process, sealing, bagging, thermoforming, or an integrally molding process. Each of the first and second elastic layers has a bottom surface and an arc surface disposed opposite to each other. The arc surface includes two protrusions and a recess formed there in between. The two protrusions have different heights. A hollow area is disposed in the recess of the first and second elastic layers. Based on such structure, the bottom surfaces of the first and second elastic layers are attached to form the proposed assistive device structure for a user to lean against and providing multiple positioning effects and pressure relief More than four axial directions of supporting forces are generated to effectively enhance muscle relaxation and stress relief.
