Disclosed is a wearable device configured to oscillate a chest of a user. The wearable device may include a chest wall oscillator, a sound detector, and a controller for controlling operations of the chest wall oscillator, based on sound from the sound detector. The chest wall oscillator may be mounted on the chest of the user to oscillate the chest of the user. The sound detector may detect the sound from the chest of the user before, during, and/or after operation of the chest wall oscillator. The controller may change one or more of a frequency, intensity, or duration of the oscillations of the chest wall oscillator, depending on an analysis of the sound from the sound detector.

A treatment assembly for securing a treatment member to a shaft that includes the treatment member and a female attachment member. The treatment member defines a longitudinal axis, and has a distal end and a proximal end. The proximal end includes an attachment recess defined therein. The female attachment member has a distal end, a proximal end, and a shaft recess defined in the proximal end. The female attachment member is secured in the attachment recess of the treatment member. The shaft recess is defined by an interior surface that includes a first flat surface. The interior surface includes a first detent defined therein. When the shaft is received in the shaft recess, the first flat surface is operatively engaged with a first opposing flat surface on a male attachment member and a first ball is biased into the first detent.

A drumming device for delivering a repetitive percussive strike to muscles below a skin surface comprises a main housing enclosing an electric motor with a shaft having a fixed rotational speed, a drive pulley, a toothed belt encircling the drive pulley and a driven pulley with an integral cam mounted on said pulley such that the rotating shaft causes the driven pulley to rotate at a predetermined number of cycles per second, the assembly causing a repetitive, reciprocal movement of a plunger body a fixed distance and at 16.6 cycles/sec, said plunger movable in a downward direction following contact with the cam, such that the plunger reciprocates within said housing when said cam member contacts the plunger causing the plunger shaft to move laterally outward. When the massaging device is properly position in contact with the skin the moving plunger causes muscle spindles to vibrate at their resonant frequency.

A toe-tapping exercise machine comprises: a foot rest part having a right foot rest adapted to seat a user's right foot thereon and a left foot rest adapted to seat the user's left foot thereon; and an operating part coupled to the foot rest part to allow toe portions of the foot rest part to tap each other, the operating part comprising: a driving motor for transferring rotating power; a right foot rest operator for receiving the rotating power from the driving motor to operate the right foot rest; and a left foot rest operator for receiving the rotating power from the driving motor to operate the left foot rest, the driving motor being disposed between the right foot rest operator and the left foot rest operator and having rotary shafts extended from both sides thereof.

A method for distracting an individual from a treatment event comprises providing a distraction tool; positioning the distraction tool at a contact location on an individual, the contact location being substantially adjacent a location of a treatment event; activating an oscillation device to induce vibrations in the distraction tool; and subsequently initiating the treatment event at the treatment event location. The distraction tool comprises a stimulation apparatus comprising a housing and a plurality of projections extending from the housing. The oscillation device is in communication with the distraction tool to induce vibrations specifically in the stimulation apparatus. Activating the oscillation device to induce vibrations causes the plurality of projections to oscillate against the individual at the contact location, thereby shifting attention from the treatment event to the vibrations, wherein the shift in attention causes the individual to discount pain caused by the treatment event.

An electromechanical device for male sexual stimulation that uses a reciprocal linear motion similar to sexual intercourse, and wherein the penis remains fully inserted during use. The reciprocal linear motion is generated by a small motor which drives a screw and nut mechanism, to which a bracket and gripper is attached. Inserted into the gripper is a flexible sleeve. A penis may be inserted into the device inside the flexible sleeve. The movement of the gripper and sleeve against the penis provides pressure and motion against the penis inside the sleeve in a manner similar to sexual intercourse. The speed, pattern, and location of the motion can be controlled by the user through controls on the outside of the device.

An example skin cleanser includes an exterior covering, such as a silicone exterior covering, with at least one textured portion for transmitting vibrational tapping to the skin of a user. The skin cleanser includes at least one motor for generating vibrations that are transmitted to the skin. The textured portion includes touch-points that transmit the vibrations to the skin in contact with the textured portions. The touch-points may include thicker and thinner formations to provide firmer or softer vibrations to the skin. The skin cleanser includes at least one sensor configured to collect data relating to moisture levels of the skin. The skin cleanser also includes an interface configured to transmit information to other devices.

A Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) device can include a compression mechanism configured to perform successive CPR compressions on a chest of a patient, the compression mechanism including a piston and a contact member attached to the piston, the contact member configured to make and maintain contact with the chest at a first position and a first orientation. The CPR device can also include a controller communicatively coupled with the compression mechanism, the controller configured to: receive at least one input; determine whether the piston should be adjusted based on the at least one input; and responsive to a determination that the piston should be adjusted, cause the piston to move so that the contact member makes and maintains contact with the chest at a second position and a second orientation.

Systems and methods for exerting forces on a body, including a support structure defining a space and a plurality of surface contacting units that are configured to exert force upon the body, such that the weight is distributed away from the primary weight bearing regions to non-weight bearing regions of the body, or vice versa, without exerting significant shear or frictional forces on surfaces of the body. The systems and methods may be used to exert forces to cause fluid shift in different compartments of the body. Applications include treatment of various disease conditions including pressure ulcers, heart failure, high blood pressure, preeclampsia, osteoporosis, injuries of spine and to slow microgravity-induced bone and muscle loss. The systems and methods may be used to simulate gravity, weightlessness or buoyancy, in rehabilitation medicine. The system may include a chair, bed, a wearable suit or an exoskeleton.

A massage mechanism includes a portion, which, in a muscle hardness measurement mode, drives an advancing/retreating motor to rotate in a predetermined direction by constant-speed control to press a massage element into a body of a person to be treated, a portion monitoring a change rate of a motor current flowing through the advancing/retreating motor during driving of the advancing/retreating motor and stopping the driving of the advancing/retreating motor when the change rate of the motor current becomes not less than a predetermined threshold, a portion, which, after stoppage of the driving of the advancing/retreating motor, drives a tapping motor to rotate by constant-speed control to make the massage element perform a tapping operation, a current detection portion, detecting a motor current flowing through the tapping motor during driving of the tapping motor, and a portion measuring a muscle hardness of the person to be treated based on the motor current detected by the current detection portion.
