SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EXERTING FORCE ON BODIES
Systems and methods for exerting forces on a body, including a support structure defining a space and a plurality of surface contacting units that are configured to exert force upon the body, such that the weight is distributed away from the primary weight bearing regions to non-weight bearing regions of the body, or vice versa, without exerting significant shear or frictional forces on surfaces of the body. The systems and methods may be used to exert forces to cause fluid shift in different compartments of the body. Applications include treatment of various disease conditions including pressure ulcers, heart failure, high blood pressure, preeclampsia, osteoporosis, injuries of spine and to slow microgravity-induced bone and muscle loss. The systems and methods may be used to simulate gravity, weightlessness or buoyancy, in rehabilitation medicine. The system may include a chair, bed, a wearable suit or an exoskeleton.
Handled soft tissue mobilization devices and methods for making same
A soft tissue mobilization device having a hand-held portion coated with a compressible material to take the strain off the hand of the user when using the device. The hand-held portion is coated with a compressible material to take a strain off the hand of the user, is custom molded to the user's hand, and the compressible material is a compound comprising a mixture of one or more low melting point polymers.
COSMETIC DEVICE
The present disclosure relates to a cosmetic device and a cosmetic device which massages skin while a plurality of massage tools rotate eccentrically by operation of a motor is characterized by including an abnormality detector configured to generate an abnormal signal when an abnormality occurs in the motor or each of the plurality of massage tools, and a reverse unit configured to operate according to the abnormal signal, wherein the reverse unit is configured to perform an auto-reverse function of eccentrically rotating the eccentric rotation of the plurality of massage tools at a predetermined angle in an opposite direction.
Neck and upper back massage device
A massaging device with linearly adjustable nodes that conform to different bodies and treatment regimens, capable of simultaneously massaging both the neck and upper back of a user. The device requires no effort or force on the part of the user to hold the device in position or to apply pressure.

One aspect of the present invention is different embodiments of legs and feet massage apparatuses for providing massage effects to the legs and/or feet of a user. Another aspect is different embodiments of hands and arms massage apparatuses for providing massage effects to the arms and/or hands of the user. Additional aspect is an armrest sliding adjustment apparatus. A further aspect is a bicep and tricep panel sliding adjustment apparatus. Additional aspect is a chair that includes at least one of the following devices, apparatuses and systems described in this application: any of the legs and feet massage apparatuses; any of the hands and arms massage apparatuses; an armrest sliding adjustment apparatus; a bicep and tricep panel sliding adjustment apparatus; a neck and shoulder massage system; an integrated smart medical device; at least one health monitoring device or system; a virtual reality device; and a touchscreen-based control system.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR APPLYING MANIPULATIVE MYOFASCIAL THERAPY
In one embodiment, a handheld device for applying therapy includes a housing, a handle coupled to the housing, a motor supported in the housing, a movable head coupled to the motor, and a contact pad of high-friction, grippy, non-slip material supported on the movable head. The motor is operable to impart to the movable head and the contact pad one or more of translational, rotational, or revolutionary motions that are generally in a plane parallel to the skin of a patient during operation.
Trigger point treatment method, system, and device for neuromusculoskeletal pain
A trigger point treatment system for treating a patient, includes a cart, including a display; a trigger point scanning device with a scanning probe, and a trigger point massage therapy device, including a pressure point tip, a pressure sensor component, and an actual pressure indicator. A method of trigger point treatment includes scanning for myofascial trigger points, including locating, mapping, and marking trigger points; measuring a pressure pain threshold; applying a massage treatment; and optionally applying an injection treatment.
