The compression sleeve with massage rollers is a medical device. The compression sleeve with massage rollers applies a compressive pressure to an appendage of a patient. The compression sleeve with massage rollers is a mechanical device. The compression sleeve with massage rollers generates a kneading action that massages the appendage of the patient. The compression sleeve with massage rollers comprises a compression structure, a plurality of massage mechanisms, and a control circuit. The plurality of massage mechanisms and the control circuit attach to the compression structure. The control circuit electrically connects to the plurality of massage mechanisms. The control circuit controls the operation of the plurality of massage mechanisms.

The present disclosure relates to a massage apparatus comprising a UV sterilization module, the massage apparatus comprising: a main frame which forms a framework of the massage apparatus and includes an upper frame and a base frame; a seat pad or a back pad formed on the upper frame, for improving the sitting comfort of a user; arm massage portions formed at opposite sides of the main frame and massaging the arms of the user; the UV sterilization module for sterilizing and disinfecting at least a part of the seat pad, the back pad, or the arm massage portions; a controller for controlling operations of the massage apparatus; and at least one human body sensor which executes a first confirmation for determining whether the user is adjacent to the massage apparatus, wherein the controller, when the user is not adjacent to the massage apparatus, sterilizes the massage apparatus for a preset time period by using the UV sterilization module.

Provided herein is a massage apparatus including: an arm massage unit for massaging a user's arm; and a control unit for controlling the arm massage unit. The arm massage unit comprises a space and an electrode arranged in the space, and the control unit determines whether an electrical value of the electrode is changed, and controls the operation of the arm massage unit based on a determination result and an operation state of the arm massage unit.

Provided are a method for providing a massage to stimulate a growth plate for promoting growth and a massage apparatus. The massage apparatus includes: a body data calculation unit for calculating length related information of at least a portion of a body part of a user; a growth plate stimulation massage pattern determination unit for determining a growth plate stimulation massage pattern on the basis of the calculated body length related information; and a growth plate stimulation massage providing unit for providing a massage on the basis of the growth plate stimulation massage pattern.

A muscle massaging belt assembly is designed to be worn around a person's torso or limbs. A buckle member and latch member of the belt assembly is designed to be coupled or uncoupled. A variable length strap portion of the belt assembly is slidably looped back from the buckle or latch member and is designed to be shortened or lengthened to increase or decrease the circumference of the fastened buckle and latch members. A detachable, laterally extendable or expandable, planar platform is disposed in a substantially middle portion of the belt assembly, a rechargeable battery disposed within. One or more mounting assemblies are disposed on an inner face of the platform. A plurality of detachable knob assemblies is coupled to the mounting assemblies, a battery assembly disposed within, a top of each knob designed to abut the torso or a limb of a user. An electric vibration motor is within each knob assembly.

A massage device includes a base, a drive unit, and a transmission unit. The drive unit is coupled to the base. The transmission unit is disposed at one side of the base. The drive unit includes a drive member to drive a rotary shaft for driving massage members. One end of the rotary shaft is provided with a unidirectional bearing and a first bevel gear. The unidirectional bearing is able to control the rotation of the first bevel gear. The transmission unit includes two positioning blocks and a worm shaft connected between the two positioning blocks. The worm shaft is provided with a second bevel gear and a movable member thereon. The first bevel gear meshes with the second bevel gear. When the first bevel gear is rotated, the second bevel gear is driven to link other parts so that the drive unit can slide on the base.
