Good massage can be performed on a wide range of user's body, extending from the shoulder to the buttocks.

A chair massager (1) comprises a massaging mechanism (7) having a massager piece for massaging part of user's body as a target of massage, and a moving rail (8) disposed along a vertical direction to guide the massaging mechanism (7) in vertical movement. The massager piece includes a first massager piece (14) lying in an upper position as seen from the massaging mechanism (7), and a second massager piece (15) lying in a lower position as seen from the massaging mechanism (7). The massaging mechanism (7) is designed to perform massage by actuating the second massager piece (15) to jut toward the target of massage when set in position at the bottom part of the moving rail (8).

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.

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.

The present invention provides devices and methods for non-invasively lowering intraocular pressure. In particular, some non-invasive intraocular pressure lowering devices of the invention comprise an oscillating element having a proximal end and a terminal probe. Typically, the terminal probe of said oscillating element comprises a substantially non-abrasive material that is adapted to be in contact with an ocular surface without causing any significant damage to the tissue and is shaped to conform to ocular surface at the limbal region. Devices also include an oscillating mechanism that is operatively connected to the proximal end of said oscillating tip such that when oscillating mechanism is in operation said oscillating tip moves axially without damaging ocular cells. Intraocular pressure lowering devices of the present invention are capable of non-invasively transmitting mechanical force to the tissue proximate to the limbal tissue.

A head mounted display (HMD) device including a display configured to display an image; a communication processor configured to communicate with a massage chair; a sensor configured to acquire data about a facial expression of a user receiving a massage in the massage chair; and a controller configured to transmit a command to the massage chair for adjusting a massage strength of the massage based on the facial expression of the user.

A system and method of using a lead introduced to a subject proximate to a region of pain is contemplated to deliver pain relief without the need for multiple needle insertions or electrical stimulation. The three-dimensional lead may include spring-like characteristics and/or coils to translate mechanical energy into the therapy.

A user module for a patient support apparatus is provided. The user module has a user interface operably coupled thereto. The user interface includes an input device and an output device. The output device includes a visual display including textual and non-textual elements. The non-textual elements include enhanced, graphical, and animated portions relating to one or more operational features of the patient support or to a person positionable on the patient support. The input device includes one or more touch sensors corresponding to defined regions of the visual display.

A hand held chest physiotherapy device comprises a hand grip member with a first end and a second end. The hand grip member is configured to adaptively receive a user hand via a strap member attached to a first end of the hand grip member. The second end of the hand grip member is removably attached to one or more venting members configured to incorporate a pressure difference in the device. The device further comprises a pad member, which is removably attached to an end of the venting members of the hand grip member. The pad member is configured to provide pressure on the patient by slapping the device against the chest or back of the patient.

A tremor reduction device has a mechanical flap having a flap portion arranged to apply pressure on part of an inner arm in order to reduce tremor. The pressure can be manually adjusted by moving a rod in a channel in the tremor reduction device. The tremor reduction device has a case for pivotably mounting the mechanical flap and the pressure is at least partly determined by the angle of the mechanical flap relative to the case. The rod has a tapered section and the mechanical flap has a pin in contact the tapered section for changing the angle of the mechanical flap. Optionally a sensor is placed near the pressure applying location to sense the tremor and to provide a sensing signal to a driving mechanism which causes the rod to move in order to adjust the pressure.

Embodiments of the present invention provides a fascial gun including a fascial gun body. Further, the fascial gun includes a gun head protruding from the fascial gun body and configured to be imparted reciprocating motion by an actuator comprised within the fascial gun body. The fascial gun further includes a massage head. Also, the fascial gun includes a vibration adjusting device connecting the massage head with the gun head, the vibration adjusting device configured to at least partially transmit the reciprocating motion of the gun head to the massage head. The vibration adjusting device comprises a gas chamber provided with an exhaust regulator valve configured to adjust maximum allowable gas pressure in the gas chamber thereby adjusting an amplitude of the reciprocating motion transmitted to the massage head.
