A system for treating a tissue of an animal patient. The system may include a display and input device, and at least one instrument chosen from an impulse stimulator instrument and an acoustic oscillator. The impulse stimulator is configured to apply a percussive massage including one or more force impulses. The impulse stimulator is further configured to measure a response of the tissue to one of the applied force impulses to assess a condition of the tissue. The acoustic oscillator is configured to apply an acoustic stimulation including one or more acoustic pulses to the tissue of the animal patient.

A skin cleanser includes a surface, such as a silicone surface, with at least one textured portion for transmitting vibrational tapping to the skin. The skin cleanser includes at least one oscillating motor for generating the tapping motion to the skin. The textured portion includes touch-points or a wave that transmit the tapping motion to skin in contact with the textured portions. The touch-points may include thicker and thinner formations of the touch-points to provide firmer or softer vibrations to the skin. The touch-points are within about 0.5 to 2.5 mm in diameter. One configuration includes multiple oscillating motors configured to provide different vibration frequencies at around 50-300 Hertz and operable simultaneously.

A method of treating sepsis and septic shock is using a passive simulated exercise device is disclosed. The exercise device functions to increase pulsatile shear stress (friction) to the vascular endothelium. Increased shear stress stimulates release of beneficial mediators from the endothelium into the circulation that promote integrity of the endothelial barrier as well as to prevent its disruption by suppressing inflammation and oxidative stress. The latter is the basis for the deleterious effects of sepsis and septic shock. Failure to control integrity of the endothelial barrier promotes excessive leakage of fluid and proteins from the vasculature into surrounding interstitial fluid that can rapidly escalate into major morbidity, shock and death.

The disclosure is directed to a massage chair having a massage chair frame, a massage system, and a noise-reducing, enclosure device. The massage chair frame includes a first end, a second end, a seat body area portion, and a back body area portion. The massage system includes at least one air massage element, an air pump, and at least one air valve device for regulating air flow into and out of the at least one air massage element. The noise-reducing, enclosure device includes an enclosure housing and noise-reducing material positioned inside the enclosure housing. The enclosure housing encloses the air pump and the plurality of air valve devices during operation during operation such that noise generated from or made by the air pump and the plurality of air valve devices during operation is reduced, contained or eliminated. Additionally, the disclosure provides additional features for improving user experience including hammering devices, heating acupuncture devices, oxygen generation, voice recognition control, a remote control pouch, and a wireless device pouch having wireless charging functionality.

A tapping apparatus includes a linear direct-current motor, a connecting member including a first end and a second end, and an elongated swing member. The motor includes a mover that moves along a longitudinal axis, the mover being connected with the first end of the connecting member, and the second end of the connecting member is connected to the elongated swing member. When the mover moves linearly back and forth, the elongated swing member rotates about a pivoting axis emanating from the connecting member. A massager including the tapping apparatus is also provided.

Disclosed is a reciprocating-hit treatment instrument, comprising a body having a reciprocating mechanism, wherein the body comprises a main handle portion at the lower portion, a sub-handle portion at the upper portion, a base portion extruding from one side of the connection portion between the main handle portion and the sub-handle portion on the body, a reciprocating rod with the front end extending out from the base portion while the rear end fixedly connected with the reciprocating mechanism and able to perform a reciprocating motion in the direction of its own length under the driven by the reciprocating mechanism, and a treatment ball connected with the front end of the reciprocating rod; the main handle portion, the sub-handle portion, and the base portion are integrally connected, and the main handle portion and the sub-handle portion are connected with each other in the shape of a bar.

A percussive massage device includes an enclosure having a cylindrical bore that extends along a longitudinal axis. A motor has a rotatable shaft that rotates about a central axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A crank coupled to the shaft includes a pivot, which is offset from the central axis of the shaft. A reciprocation linkage has a first end coupled to the pivot of the crank. A piston has a first end coupled to a second end of the reciprocation linkage. The piston is constrained to move within a cylinder along the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical bore. An applicator head has a first end coupled to a second end of the piston and has a second end exposed outside the cylindrical bore for application to a person receiving treatment. A motor controller measures current applied to the motor and displays a pressure indicator responsive to the measured current.

A wearable thorax percussion device for dislodging mucous buildup in the airways of a human patient, the device comprising frame elements and electromechanical actuators retained by the frame elements to intermittently percuss the thorax, and an electronic controller and power source for generating and modulating an electrical signal to energize the actuator. The frame elements may be interconnected by a garment, or fasteners and elastic or adjustable strapping.

A one-way self-locking device for a massager includes a transmission shaft, a shaft sleeve, a torsional spring, and a big belt wheel. The big belt wheel is rotatably sleeved on the transmission shaft, and the big belt wheel is driven by a power mechanism to drive the transmission shaft to circumferentially rotate. The shaft sleeve is fixedly mounted on the transmission shaft. The torsional spring is sleeved on the shaft sleeve. A first connecting portion of the torsional spring is in interference fit with the shaft sleeve, a main body portion of the torsional spring is sleeved on the shaft sleeve and is in clearance fit with the shaft sleeve, and a second connecting portion of the torsional spring is fixedly connected to the big belt wheel to achieve one-way self-locking.
