The subject of the application is a compression suit (1) for use in the treatment of neurological or psychiatric disorders by exerting pressure on soft tissues, containing a fabric suit (2) for application to the patient's body. The suit is characterised in that it further comprises the pneumatic system for generating and transferring pressure to the soft tissues of the patient, made up of pneumatic inserts (3) for fixing in the areas where the suit interacts with the soft tissues and a pneumatic pump (7) for pumping air into the pneumatic inserts (3) and for regulating the pressure in the pneumatic system. Furthermore, the pneumatic system comprises tubes (5) for supplying air from the pneumatic pump to the pneumatic inserts, whereby the pneumatic inserts are arranged to allow the full range of motion for all movements of limbs and joints. Furthermore, the subject of the application is the use of the compression suit in the treatment of neurological or psychiatric disorders.

Methods for creating a desired tissue effect. An RF electrode is provided that includes a conductive portion. The RF electrode is coupled to a fluid delivery member that delivers a cooling fluidic medium to a back surface of the RF electrode. A dielectric is positioned on a skin surface. The RF electrode is coupled with the dielectric. RF energy is delivered from the RF electrode and the dielectric to the skin surface.

A method for external ear canal pressure regulation to alleviate one or more symptoms associated with a disorder or treat one or more disorders, the method including providing a fluid transfer device which generates a fluid flow of a fluid through an earplug, the earplug having an earplug external surface configured to sealably engage an external ear canal wall as a barrier between an external ear canal pressure and an ambient pressure; sealably engaging the earplug of the fluid transfer device with the external ear canal wall as the barrier between the external ear canal pressure and the ambient pressure; and operating the fluid transfer device to generate the fluid flow of the fluid through the earplug to achieve an external ear canal pressure differential between the external ear canal pressure and the ambient pressure effective to alleviate a disorder symptom or treat a disorder.

A heel protector (100) includes a leg engaging section (101) and a foot engaging section (102) intersecting at a heel receiver (103). The leg engaging section (101) and the foot engaging section (102) define a leg insertion aperture (104). The leg engaging section (101) defines at least one aperture (203) disposed in an ankle region (205) to permit a connection tube (1002) extending from an inflatable bladder (901) of a compression device (800) to pass therethrough. The heel protector (100) and compression device (800) work together as a rehabilitation system (1300).

A portable lower leg compression device for applying pressure to a lower leg of a user includes a panel. Each of a plurality of bladders is coupled to an inner face of the panel and extends from adjacent to a first side to proximate to a second side of the panel. A plurality of first couplers is coupled to the panel proximate to the first side of the panel. A plurality of second couplers is coupled to the panel proximate to the second side of the panel. A compressor assembly is coupled to the panel and is operationally coupled to the plurality of bladders. Each second coupler is positioned to couple to a respective first coupler to couple the panel around the lower leg. The compressor assembly is positioned to selectively inject air into the bladders to inflate the bladders to apply pressure to the lower leg.

A piece of fitness equipment comprises a carrier for carrying a pump on a body part of a person. The carrier comprises a main body having a first end and a second end, a fastener capable of connecting the first end and the second end with each other, and a holder for detachably attaching the pump to the main body.

A therapy control system provides a control panel attachable to a footboard portion of a hospital bed, containing a variety of therapeutic devices along with corresponding electrical and fluid interfaces. The system also provides an informational display for each therapeutic device and various push buttons to activate, configure settings, and program the devices. The system is capable of facilitating therapeutic devices such as heat therapy, sequential therapy, foot therapy, and an air mattress inflation function.

Apparatus for carrying out treatments on the human body, which comprises a central unit configured to produce a hot fluid and a cold fluid, and a compressor. The apparatus also has at least two operational heads, each provided with a plate intended to contact the skin of the patient, and susceptible of being temperature-conditioned with a corresponding hot or cold fluid. The plate is associated with a plurality of pneumatic actuators, each comprising a piston, which is slidably inserted in a hole obtained in the plate, and a return spring which acts on the piston. The piston is pneumatically operable to move between a retracted position and a protruding position, through a plurality of solenoid valves, each of which is associated with a corresponding pneumatic actuator housed in the operational head, connected to the compressor and provided with an opening for air discharge.

A flexible vibrating module with flexible radiating arms outwardly projecting around the module, with each arm having an associated coin motor which can optionally be operated at high frequency or low frequency or pulsing frequency, is shown in combination with a wrap having a snap in flexible grommet for the module to consistently orient properly the module with respect to a patient's muscles or joints.

A manual ear pump including one or more of a support element configured to releasably engage an external ear canal and having an interior chamber, a resilient element capable of being resiliently deformed coupled to a support element, and an aperture disposed on a support element bottom surface communicating with the external ear canal and interior chamber.
