Described herein are fields of exercise or therapy systems in particular exercise or therapy systems that controllably generate and maintain an unweighted environment using a mechanical system or a differential air pressure (DAP) envelope about a user so as to at least partially or completely unweight the user. This application also relates to improved control systems for pressure chambers for use in differential air pressure (DAP) systems including data collection and utilization for general fitness use, athletic use, or medical use treadmills and related software, control and analytics systems, especially as related to obtaining gait data from load cells provided in the system.

Embodiments of the invention relate to a device including a pressure field stimulator and a roller massager. The pressure field stimulator has a cup and a driver, where the driver is configured to vary a volume of the cup. The roller massager comprises a flexible sheath and a roller disposed adjacent the flexible sheath. In some embodiments, an enclosure is disposed around the roller where the enclosure includes an opening through which the roller protrudes. In some embodiments, the roller is disposed on a threaded shaft, mechanically coupled to a motor, within the enclosure. The sheath is tightly bound to the enclosure such that the roller presses on the sheath.

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.

A stimulation device including a sleeve-shaped body formed by an at least partially flexible wall which has a first end portion with a first end forming a first end of the sleeve-shaped body and a second end portion forming a second end of the sleeve-shaped body and containing an opening through which a body part sensitive to stimulation is inserted into the sleeve-shaped body. A loading mechanism is configured to subject the first end portion of the wall of the sleeve-shaped body to a force which changes the distance between the first end and second end of the sleeve-shaped body; in particular a time-variant first force that oscillates as a tensile force for relative lengthening of the distance between the first end and second end of the sleeve-shaped body and a pressure force for relative shortening of the distance between the first end and second end of the sleeve-shaped body.

An apparatus for use in applying a therapy to a human limb includes a bag for surrounding all or part of the limb. The apparatus also includes a connection arrangement, mounted to a wall of the bag in a distal portion of the bag, that enables therethrough a flow of a gas between a pressure-regulating device and an interior space of the bag. The apparatus also includes a gas-permeable strip affixed to an interior surface of the bag and having a length equal to at least 70% of the bag's length. The distal end of the strip is in communication with the connection arrangement in the distal portion of the bag, and a proximal end of the strip is disposed in a proximal portion of the bag. The strip contains a partially compressible, gas-permeable material forming a lengthwise gas-flow pathway.

Embodiments include systems, methods, and products for prevention and treatment of orthostatic hypotension, edema, and nocturia. Aspects include a tubular compression sleeve having an adjustable effective radius. Aspects also include a position sensor. Aspects also include an actuator in communication with the position sensor, wherein the actuator is capable of modifying the effective radius of the tubular compression sleeve.

Embodiments of the invention relate to a pressure field stimulation device including a sheath having an integrated cup. The sheath and cup are together formed of (or consist of) a single piece of material. The pressure field stimulator has a cup and a driver, where the driver is configured to vary a volume of the cup. The pressure field stimulator has a housing that has an opening therein with an edge on which a portion of the cup rests when installed. The sheath is tightly bound to the housing such that a driver can make contact with the cup. In some embodiments, the pressure field stimulator has a shaft portion, which may include a second stimulation device. The sheath can be bound over the shaft portion as well as the pressure field stimulator housing.

Disclosed embodiments provide an improved stimulation device. Embodiments of the improved stimulation device include a cup and a driver. The cup has a cavity surrounded by a rim. In use, a user positions the rim such that an opening to the cavity is over an area to be stimulated (for example, the clitoris). A sealed-, or substantially-sealed, chamber is formed by the cavity walls and the user's skin (surrounding the clitoris). A pressure field is generated in the chamber without generating a pressure below a reference pressure, which is gauge pressure reading of zero. In some embodiments, this is achieved by a driver configured to vary a volume of the cavity in such a way that the varied volume is not larger than an initial volume. In some embodiments, the stimulation device is a sex toy. In some embodiments, the stimulation device is a medical device.

Stimulation devices are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a housing including a chamber. The housing defines an opening to the chamber. The example apparatus includes a flexible material protruding from the opening and configured to sealingly engage a portion of a body of a user including a clitoris. The example apparatus includes a drive unit disposed in the housing. The drive unit is to cause a volume of the chamber to alternate between a first volume and a second volume, the alternating volume of the chamber to cause pressure in the chamber to modulate between positive pressures relative to an ambient pressure and negative pressures relative to the ambient pressure. The modulated positive pressures and negative pressures are to be applied to the portion of the body via the opening.
