A hand-held massaging system includes a swivel coupling for removably attaching a massage tool to a reciprocating motor having a shaft having a stroke axis and a stroke length. The swivel coupling consists of a thrust journal and a cylindrical cup, an inner diameter of the cup providing a swivel bearing and bottom of the cup forming a thrust bearing. When the shaft reciprocates at a forced frequency, the thrust journal is retained within the cup by stick-slip friction that allows the thrust journal to swivel within the cup and to slip along the stroke axis. The thrust journal and cup attach between the massage tool and the shaft.

A device for treatment of the Peyronie's disease, containing a hollow cylindrical body placed in the bed of a fixed base plate for precision positioning of the penis with respect to the center of the plaque in its subcutaneous tissue, wherein adjacent to the cylindrical body is the face of the shock wave generator firmly connected to a supporting rigid navigation frame with the possibility of travel in three mutually orthogonal directions and three rotations in three mutually perpendicular planes to ensure the localization of the highest shock wave energy level in the second focal point of the shock wave generator which is identical to the position of the center of the plaque, and the space between the inner and outer walls of the cylindrical body is filled with degassed water with a temperature close to the patient's temperature.

A mobile automatic massage apparatus which includes a base of an automatic guided vehicle and a few robotic arms attached above it. A 3D scanner on the pole behind the touch screen monitor takes images of the surrounding environment and guides the movement of the vehicle and positioning of the arms. The hands attached to the robotic arms perform the massage according to the programs of a central computer. This massage apparatus can perform similar professional massage provided by the physicians or therapists to improve the blood circulation of the patients and reduce the pain.

The invention relates to physiotherapy and may be used in health and fitness exercises. A massage device for acting on the spinal muscles comprises: interchangeable massage elements and a body with sockets, into which said elements can be mounted; said body having three sides, each of which permits mounting of said body on a horizontal surface; wherein the planes tangential to each of the sides and coincident with the horizontal surface that provides for the mounting of each of the sides together form a dihedral angle of approximately 6015 degrees, with all of the dihedral angles adding up to a total of 180 degrees; the sides of the body are connected to each other by means of three edge surfaces, each of which has lateral portions for the paraspinal areas of the spine and a medial portion for the spinal column, which is recessed in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the body relative to said lateral portions; the sockets are situated in the lateral portions of each of the edge areas; and the three edge surfaces together with the massage elements mounted in the sockets form massage surfaces that correspond to the position of the spinal organs to be massaged in three regions of the spine. The interchangeability of the massage elements and the use of a range of interchangeable massage heads of different shapes, sizes and firmness provide for precise control of the force, depth and direction of the therapeutic mechanical action to be applied to the paravertebral muscles.

Devices, systems, and methods for percussion therapy of a patient's torso area provide percussive force to release and/or dislodge mucous from respiratory airways of a human patient. Such devices, systems, and methods may include a torso covering for securing to a patient's torso, percussive devices coupled to the torso covering, and an attachment assembly for supporting the torso covering. The percussive devices may include a percussion frame, an electromechanically actuated percussor for controlled movement between end positions, and resilient members attached to opposite ends of the percussion frame for assisting controlled movement of the percussor. The devices, systems, and methods disclosed herein provide efficient and comfortable high-frequency percussive force to a patient's torso, reducing stress on the patient and improving patient experience.

A respiratory acoustic analysis system for sensing and analyzing respiratory sounds of a patient may include a High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (HFCWO) vest, at least one sensor coupled with the HFCWO vest, and an algorithm stored in a processor for processing sensed data from the at least one acoustic sensor to provide processed data describing the respiratory sounds of the patient, in a form that can be used by a physician or other user.

Personal massage apparatuses and methods of use are described herein. An example personal massage apparatus may include two or more motors configured to generate stochastic resonance vibration, which can be delivered to a human body through a first end of the personal massage apparatus. In such an example, a first motor may be vibrationally connected to a second motor provide to constructive or destructive interference of the second motor's vibrational output, producing stochastic resonance vibration. Example personal massage apparatuses may be used to treat one or more of skin, muscle, bone, and/or tissue.

A massage device sized and shaped to be individually applied to the user's skin or clothing in order to apply pressure to selected trigger points on the body, the device having a base formed of a first compliant material, and a dome-shaped body extending from the base and formed of a second compliant material that is harder and less compliant than the first compliant material. In addition, a flexible filament having a substantially planar surface can be used to support one or more massage devices and apply the massage devices to selected trigger points on the body.
