A sleeve port is pneumatically coupled to the compression therapy module and is located on the foot section. The sleeve port is configured for attachment to at least one tube extending from a compression sleeve worn on a limb of a patient. Control circuitry is coupled to the frame and is operable to control functions of the patient support apparatus and to control the compression therapy module. A graphical display screen is coupled to the control circuitry and displays user inputs that are selected to control functions of the patient support apparatus and the compression therapy module.

A pressotherapy apparatus including a device for forming a treatment enclosure to be placed around a section of the body. The device has inflatable and deflatable cells having an upper membrane and a lower membrane which are connected together. The cells are supported by an external wall opposite a body surface of the device. The cells are disposed in a stack between two end cells. The cells between the end cells are stacked by overlapping in a position inclined between a high-end near to the external wall and a low end near to the body surface. The cells of the stack have an active portion of the upper membrane extending from the low end not covered by the lower membrane of an adjacent cell above.

A system for vision rehabilitation therapy includes a controller, a laser generator for generating a laser beam with a cyclic frequency-varying laser pulse train having a frequency range of 10 Hz35 Hz, and a light spot regulating device for forming a light spot with a diameter of about 20 mm and a laser power density of less than 1.5 mW/cm.sup.2. A blade is disposed in front of the laser generator and shaped to block or unblock the laser beam as the blade rotates. A speed regulating motor is provided to regulate rotation speed of the blade through a drive circuit. A pair of virtual reality three-dimensional glasses is provided to generate a virtual reality three-dimensional green scenery, and a massage device is provided to massage acupoints around the eyes and on the head of a user.

An air vest for supplying successive percussive forces to a patient during a therapy session is described. The air vest includes an air bladder and at least one belt for securing the vest to a patient, with the vest adapted to engage at least a portion of the thoracic region of the patient. The vest may define an inner surface, an outer surface, and one or more extension portions for controlling movement of the inner and outer surfaces relative to each other along at least a portion of the vest. Securement and fitting of the vest to the patient may be achieved with a plurality of releasable straps.

Apparatus, methods, and systems are provided for applying, or use with, a multibaric treatment protocol to a human limb. The apparatus may comprise a bag formed to surround at least a portion of the limb; a connection arrangement mounted to a wall of the bag in a distal portion of the bag, effective to enable therethrough a flow of a gas between the pressure-regulating device and an interior space of the bag; and a gas-permeable strip affixed to or integral with an interior surface of the bag.

The disclosure provides a telescopic rotating negative pressure massager which comprises a holding portion and a massaging portion; a telescopic rotating device driven by only one motor is provided in the holding portion, an elastic cylinder is provided in the massaging portion, the holding portion and the massaging portion are connected with each other, so that the elastic cylinder is connected with a moving member of the telescopic rotating device, a suction hole and a gas input hole are provided in a separating portion between a first housing and a second housing in a penetrating manner, a suction port of a suction pump is connected with and in communication with the suction hole through a first pipe, and an input port of a solenoid valve is connected with and in communication with the gas input hole through a second pipe. Telescopic rotating motion of the elastic cylinder can be realized by using a single motor, which lowers manufacturing cost and decrease weight and volume of the massager, and facilitate carryover, and a telescopic rotary massage function and a negative pressure massage function are realized on one massager.

A treatment device for removing heat from subcutaneous lipid-rich cells of a subject having an actuator that provides mechanical energy to the tissue. The mechanical energy provided may include a vibratory component that can range between low and ultra-high frequencies, and such energy may include various combinations of two or more frequencies tailored to produce the desired effect on the subcutaneous tissue. Disruption of adipose tissue cooled by an external treatment device may be enhanced by applying mechanical energy to cooled tissue. Furthermore, such mechanical energy may impart a vibratory effect, a massage effect, a pulsatile effect, or combinations thereof on the tissue.

A blood flow stimulator may help encourage blood flow in a limb of a patient. The blood flow stimulator may include a housing configured for sealing about the limb of the patient. The housing may include a sealable volume, and the sealable volume may receive the limb of the patient. The blood flow stimulator may include a seal, and the seal may be coupled with the housing. The seal may engage with at least a portion of the limb, for instance to segregate the sealable volume from a surrounding environment of the blood flow stimulator. The blood flow stimulator may include a conduit extending through the housing. The conduit mat help provide access to the sealable volume, for instance from the surrounding environment. In some examples, an adjustable stent is utilized to enhance blood flow within vasculature of a patient. A stent operator may change a size of the stent.
