Variable stroke percussive massage device
An adjustable stroke percussion massage device includes a stroke arm having a first end connected to a percussion massage head. A pin extends outward at a second end of the stroke arm. A cam has a cam slot formed into the cam such that the pin fits into the cam slot. The cam slot has a length, where the pin is movable from a first end of the cam slot to a second end of the cam slot, where the pin is a first distance from a rotation axis of the cam when positioned at the first end of the cam slot, and the pin is a second distance from the rotation axis of the cam when positioned at the second end of the cam slot. A motor is operable to rotate the cam about the rotation axis, moving the stroke arm along a vibration axis.
PERCUSSIVE MASSAGE DEVICE AND METHOD OF USE
A percussive massage device that includes a housing, an electrical source, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, and a push rod assembly operatively connected to the motor and configured to reciprocate in response to activation of the motor. The housing includes first, second and third handle portions that cooperate to define a handle opening, wherein the first handle portion defines a first axis, the second handle portion defines a second axis and the third handle portion defines a third axis, and wherein the first, second and third axes cooperate to form a triangle.
PORTABLE PERCUSSIVE MASSAGE DEVICE
A percussive massage device that includes a housing that defines a housing interior, a battery, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, and a reciprocating shaft operatively connected to the motor and configured to reciprocate in response to activation of the motor. The reciprocating shaft includes a distal end that defines a reciprocation axis. The housing includes a first side portion and a second side portion that cooperate to define the housing interior and are defined on opposite sides of the reciprocation axis.
Lift chair and seat
A lift chair includes a lift mechanism that maintains a continuous seating position during forward and elevated movement by supporting the occupant's seat, arms and back. The mobile section of the chair will also lower the occupant to the normal seating height. The gel cushion seating surface is attached at least to the moveable section of the lift chair. The gel cushion seating surface of the chair has a plurality of gel cushion cylinders arranged in a grid that provide a rhythmically changing support area at multiple points on the occupant's buttocks and thighs. This provides a comforting massage which reduces stress on the body associated with prolonged seating.
System, Mobile Application and Process for an Advanced Recovery Device
A method for operating a compressive recovery device. The method including receiving activity data of a user, providing a recommended recovery activity based on the activity data, wherein a primary goal of the recovery activity is to facilitate physiological recovery of the user, and controlling a compressive recovery device to perform the recovery activity on the user.
APPLIANCE FOR TREATMENT OF FACIAL SKIN CONDITIONS
A mask member which fits over a portion of the face of a user. A retaining member holds the mask in place on the user's head. Eye portions allow the user to see while wearing the mask. A treatment mechanism is positioned on an interior surface of the mask for skin treatment including treatment around the eyes. A control mechanism controls the treatment mechanism.
PATIENT/INVALID HANDLING SUPPORT WITH IMMERSION SENSING
A patient support includes a mattress with an inflatable bladder, where the inflatable bladder has a cavity and an upper bladder wall forming an outwardly facing side for facing and supporting the patient on the patient mattress and forming an inwardly facing side facing into the cavity. The patient support further includes a light transmitter operable to emit light through the cavity to impinge on the inwardly facing side of the upper bladder wall and a light receiver operable to detect a reflection of the light off the inwardly facing side of the bladder wall, with the light receiver generating a signal responsive to detecting the reflection. A controller is in communication with the light transmitter and is operable to determine immersion of a patient into the mattress based on the signal from the light receiver.
KNOCKING STRUCTURE OF DOUBLE-HEAD FASCIA MASSAGER
A knocking structure of double-head fascia massager is disclosed. The knocking structure includes a motor fixed in a housing of the massager and a rotating shaft driven by the motor. The rotating shaft is arranged on both sides of an axis of the motor. Transmissions are arranged on both sides of the rotating shaft, and pistons are connected with the transmissions. The pistons are constrained to move in two nozzles of the housing. The transmissions drive the two pistons to reciprocate in a staggered manner. Two massage heads are connected to the pistons, and different massage heads reciprocate in a staggered manner. An advantage of the present disclosure is that one motor controls the simultaneous movement of the two massage heads, and two massage heads move back and forth to massage body, which speeds up the frequency of massage and increases the area.
THERAPEUTIC TECHNIQUE USING ELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE SPECTROSCOPY
Systems and methods of monitoring medical therapies performed by wearable devices using electrical probes. In one example, a pulmonary physiotherapy device implements a treatment protocol function gated and modulated using electrical impedance sensors and metrics. The sensors operate to measure electrical impedance of bodily tissue. An electronic controller controls operation of the wearable device. The medical therapy can be modified based on the impedance measurements to maximize efficacy.
Skin stimulus
Skin stimulus arrangements are described for creating a stimulus in the skin in the vicinity of a treatment or wound site to alleviate the perception of pain. First and second textured surfaces are provided for making contact with the skin, with the surfaces being moved to create a stimulus which alleviates the perception of pain. The movement may be linear, rotary or a combination of both, and just a single textured surface may be provided.
